Only duplicate questions asking the exact same thing (but in different words) should be merged. For instance, "What is the population of New York?" and "What is the population of New York in 2008?" are distinct questions that should not be merged together. The same goes for "What is the average height of a 12-year-old male?" and "What is the average height of a 13-year-old male?"

Only supervisors can merge questions on WikiAnswers. All registered users can recommend a merge by clicking "Improve" next to the question or using the "Improve question" option in the blue Control panel and typing in the question into which you would like to merge it. Then WikiAnswers Support will merge them as appropriate shortly after that. Supervisors can merge without delay.

If you are not a supervisor, follow the instructions as described in the Related question below.

If you are interested in becoming a Supervisor please e-mail Supervisor @ WikiAnswers.com (no spaces).

See the Related Link for help on merging.

Why do people ask the same question more than once on WikiAnswers?

The "exact" same question cannot be asked, because the system doesn't allow duplicates. However, very similar questions sometimes get asked because the folks asking questions don't use the Search feature to check and see if a similar question has already been asked. Luckily, on WikiAnswers it is possible to merge questions together, so when new questions come in, the best first thing to do (for people who have the power) is to edit the question and make sure it doesn't have any grammar errors and that it makes sense. When we do this, it often triggers a merge, and we can get someone's new question answers by merging it into an older one that already has a good answer.


Is WikiAnswers the best ever search site?

I believe that WikiAnswers is the best ever search site for those questions that no one around you knows, but is so complicated, no website has that exact question, and you just need a real answer by a real person. That is why WikiAnswers is the best ever search site for those questions no other website could ever answer.
