I think it is due to the fact that people generally like helping other people, without getting all the attention or praise. Also it is quite fun, especially if your bored! Another factor is your status on the site's you can move up from contributor to bronze contributor to silver to gold to platinum to double platinum and finally to ruby contributor (having to make 1/2 million contributions!!!). People love WikiAnswers- there really isn't any more to it. WikiAnswers if a fun place to edit and ask questions and ends up being very addicting to many people who try out the site.
Wikianswers is a website where anyone can answer questions posted.
Anyone can answer questions on WikiAnswers. So some people who answer them are knowledgeable, and some are not.
It helps people answering questions find questions they might know the answer to.
to find out info from real people to questions that they need answering or if your answering questions its because they want people to know that they are helping them unlike me hope this was useful
Because its a good thing to help others
depends on the person answering the question, wikianswers is not run by a computer, but people who know the answer can just answer questions themselves.
The questions are answered by REAL people - from all over the planet !
There are many, many, many people that answer questions on WikiAnswers. The only reason why it seems that not very many people are answering questions is because there are questions being submitted almost every 5 seconds.
you contribute to helping many people around the site by answering there questions
Why People Do Not Answer QuestionsThere are many reasons people might not answer questions on WikiAnswers. It could be that they do not feel confident about answering questions or it's simply not something they like to do. If they are new to WikiAnswers, they might not know how to answer questions and need someone to explain to them how to use the site, or a number of other reasons.
If it is misspelled in an answer, then it is not WikiAnswers that misspelled it. WikiAnswers is a wiki, which means it has people answering questions, some of whom are good spellers and some of whom are not.
Nope. Only the ones that I know the answer to.
