WikiAnswers cannot guarantee that all the answer supplied are correct. This is because contributors from all areas and all walks of life can answer and edit and question, therefore not making all answers 100% correct.
WikiAnswers itself technically does not lie. However, there are some users that decide to vandalize, spam, or put incorrect/inappropriate answers into questions.
Yes , you can answer the questions on wikianswers.
You can recategorize, answer questions, edit questions, and do much more on WikiAnswers.
The answers on wikianswers are provided by an army of volunteer answerers which are overseen by an army of volunteer supervisors (moderators). Anyone who visits the site is able to ask or answer questions. Due to the volunteering nature of wikianswers, it is inevitable that some questions will receive inappropriate or incorrect answers. Wikianswers' supervisors do their best to catch these and fix them, but with nearly 8 million questions in the database, obviously some will sneak by. If there is some answer in particular which you feel has been inappropriately or incorrectly answered, feel free to fix it yourself... failing that feel free to contact one of wikianswers' friendly supervisors to give it a look see.
Thousands of questions are posted on WikiAnswers every day. As WikiAnswers relies mainly on volunteers to answer questions, it is not always possible for every question to be answered.
Sometimes, yes. We allow anyone to ask and answer questions, and we encourage people to improve answers when they are incorrect, and edit questions when they don't make sense.
Anyone who comes on the site can answer questions, non-members and members alike. If you find an answer that you know is incorrect, please feel free to correct it.
