Is this question suitable for WikiAnswers?
Any question that is appropriate is legitimate to WikiAnswers. Make sure you need the question answered. For example I have seen questions like: How do you eat a road? Are tables edible? How many letters in the word letter? These are useless and inappropriate questions for the WikiAnswers community. Not because they have bad language, just because they are useless.
Can you start a question with the word about?
Yes. For example: "About what time did you decide to ask this question on WikiAnswers?"
What would be considered an offensive question on WikiAnswers?
This is really a matter of common sense. For example, if you were interested in committing an act of terrorism but needed some advice on how to do it, this web site would not wish to help you out.
How do you write a sentence using category?
This question is in the WikiAnswers category for example sentences.
Where to post questions on WikiAnswers?
When you post a question - the computer system 'reads' the words and places the question into up to three categories depending on the wording. For example, your question has automatically been posted in the 'Questions about WikiAnswers' section because you used 'WikiAnswers' in the text.
Is it possible to have two question marks with the same question on WikiAnswers?
No, but you can use characters that look like question marks, for example ʔ.
Why is Godfather 2 inappropriate?
This question cannot be answered, for two reasons. First, there is no universal standard for what is appropriate and inappropriate in any given situation. Since we do not know what you personally think is appropriate/inappropriate for a movie to show, we cannot answer. Furthermore, you didn't mention who or what the movie is inappropriate for. Is the Godfather 2 inappropriate for who, or for what purpose? The definitions of "appropriate" and "inappropriate" are: "suitable (or not suitable) for a particular person, purpose or occasion" (definitions from dictionary.com). Unless you specify what that particular person, purpose or occasion is, your question is meaningless. By definition, whether something is appropriate or inappropriate is dependent on what it's being used for. Anything can be appropriate or inappropriate, depending on what it's being used for. For example, a sexy green dress would be appropriate for a cocktail party, but inappropriate for a funeral. So you cannot simply ask, "Is this dress appropriate?" You have to specify: "Is this dress appropriate for a cocktail party?" or "Is this dress appropriate for a funeral?" Asking, "Is this movie inappropriate?" is the same as asking, "Is this movie suitable?" Suitable for who, or what? For example, "Is this joke inappropriate?" Inappropriate for who, or what? The question needs more information: "Is this joke inappropriate to tell a 6-year-old?" or "Is this joke inappropriate to tell at a job interview?" Or, "Is this movie inappropriate?" Inappropriate for who, or what? The question needs more information: "Is this movie inappropriate for an 8-year-old child?" or "Is this movie inappropriate to watch at my grandmother's 91st birthday party?" or "Is this movie inappropriate to watch with someone whose parents just died?"
A question keeps popping up on your ask bar on WikiAnswers how do you delete it?
You can't ... it's given there as an "example" of how to ask a question on WikiAnsers. Your question goes into the larger box above the sample question.
Does the movie 'It' have inappropriate scenes?
Inappropriate for who, or what? Without knowing what you mean by "inappropriate," your question can't be answered. The words "appropriate" and "inappropriate" have only situational meaning. That is, anything can be appropriate or inappropriate, depending on the situation. When the situation is left unqualified, the words "appropriate" and "inappropriate" become totally meaningless. For example, a sexy green dress would be appropriate for a cocktail party, but inappropriate for a funeral. So you cannot simply ask, "Is this dress appropriate?" You have to specify: "Is this dress appropriate for a cocktail party?" or "Is this dress appropriate for a funeral?" Or, "Is this movie inappropriate?" Inappropriate for who, or what? The question needs more information: "Is this movie inappropriate for an 8-year-old child?" or "Is this movie inappropriate to watch at my grandmother's 90th birthday party?" or "Is this movie inappropriate for a romantic night at home with my boyfriend?" In other words, nothing is simply "appropriate" or "inappropriate." Whether something is appropriate or inappropriate depends on the situation, which you have failed to provide.
Is there categories for spite relationships on WikiAnswers?
No, there is not a specific "spite relationships" category on WikiAnswers. There is a standard "Relationships" category. You can further categorize into "friendship" or "marriage", for example, if your question is related to one of those.
How do you post your question on WikiAnswers when it is telling you that the spelling is wrong but actually its correct?
You can ignore the spelling suggestions and submit the question anyway. Wikianswers can get confused when the question contains proper nouns, Minecraft is often 'corrected' to 'mine craft' for example, but you can ignore the suggested correction and submit it anyway.
Why does WikiAnswers not always suggest categories when you ask a question?
WikiAnswers suggests categories for a new question based on the categories of existing similar questions (and answers). Sometimes, WikiAnswers does not find enough similar questions to form an opinion about the suggested category.Possible reasons for this are:The question is about a subject new to WikiAnswers.The question only contains "stop" words (e.g., "the," "of," "what"), for example "Who should ask to be or not to be?"The question is gibberish.If none of the above applies, this may be a bug, and you are welcome to report it to WikiAnswers' support team.
