When a fellow contributor or Supervisor recommends you, you receive a trust point.
Trust points are points you can gain on WikiAnswers, to show that you are a trustworthy member of WikiAnswers, that your contributions are worthwhile, and very well done. Taken from the Help Center:
Trust Points enable you to vote for a WikiAnswers member whose contributions you think are worthwhile and legitimate.
It is important to note that Trust Points are not a good measurement of how much you can trust the answer to a question. They are simply an indication of how trusted the last contributor is as a member of the WikiAnswers community.
All answers should be critically considered. For reliable advice of any sort you need to consult a qualified professional in your local area. Please see our Terms Of Use for more details.
Trust Points do not account for any special rewards, or deals; however, the more you have, the more respected you are in the eyes of others, and, the better your work is. Currently, as mentioned in the Help Center, there is no facility to subtract Trust Points, as this would only complicate matters further.
For more details on Trust Points, see the related link.

How can you find out who gave you your trust points?
Trust your Trust PointsAt present, there is no way for you to determine who gave you a trust point, unless the contributor who did so informs you via your message board.

Most users are not only happy to receive the trust point, but also to get the message!
