Why does it take Wikianswers so long to answer questions?

You have to remember that WikiAnswers gets the answers to your questions through contributors, like yourself. So it depends really on when the contributors are on, and who sees your question. If there are plenty of people who know the answer the more likely it would be answered more quickly. Like if it is a not much asked question that probably not many people know off hand, it can take time for a contributor to research the question the find the answer. But it also depends what time of day it is for a contributor.

How do you make citizens on WikiAnswers answer your question?

You can't make people answer your questions unless you use mind control. If you become a member of WikiAnswers, you can search the WikiAnswers community to find an experienced member who looks like they can answer your question. You can leave them a message on their board with a link to your question. This will increase the chance that they will get to your question quickly. Note: WikiAnswer contributors are constantly answering, merging, and organizing questions, so they may not be able to get to your question right away - so be patient. Also, take the time to place your question in the proper category where it is more likely to be answered. Otherwise it goes into the uncategorized section which contains a ~35,000 question backlog.

Why did WikiAnswers decide that the question What does it take to become famous adds no value to WikiAnswers when it is a legitimate question?

It was probably decided that this question adds no value to WikiAnswers because no one really knows what it takes to become famous; most of it is luck.
