This site gets their answers from the general public, meaning, random people. Amongst these people are some who are not as smart as you may like therefore giving answers you may see as dumb.

Obviously this site has helped alot of people with there questions. Any site that does that can't actually be dumb. Of course there are going to be dorks out there who think writing stupid answers is cool so just because there are jerks like that doesn't mean the site is dumb.

I find that looking for answers to questions on this site can be laborious.


Why are you such a dedicated person when it comes to WikiAnswers?

Because I enjoy contributing here. It's a great site when you get past the small minority of idiotic answers and dumb questions.


Can you ask yes or no questions on this site?

We discourage yes-no questions and answers. We prefer you ask a specific question that allows for more than a yes-no answer. We prefer to give details in answers-- unless the only answer we can possibly give is yes or no.


Does this site support liberal democrates?

You ask "Does this site support liberal Democrats, because you will not answer a question about the negative in the history of Democrats?" The best answer is "No." But it is more complicated than that. The site, as you refer to it, uses ordinary folks to answer questions. Just folks, like you and me and the next guy. The people who answer questions do so because they volunteer to do so. Nobody gets paid to answer the questions that come in. When you take on the responsibility to answer questions the answers you give should satisfy the person asking but also be viable for the next person who wants the same question answered. While it is very tempting to give slanted answers and very difficult to give answers that are not slanted that is the goal of folks who volunteer to answer questions on this site not to give biased answers. At least that is my goal.


Why do people ask dumb questions onthis site?

Doubtless many questions appear 'dumb' when you know the answer. Doubtless many 'dumb' children ask unnecessary questions. The reasons they do so are as varied as those that ask them.


Why does this site always never answer any of your questions?

Actually, this site answers many questions. It is just that answers are not usually immediate. Sometimes people give inappropriate answers and they have to be cleared so others can see the questions and have the chance to give appropriate answers. It is possible that others don't know the answer, so you have to wait until someone can answer.Now, if you ask the question poorly, don't categorize it correctly, or break the rules, you might not get any answer.


Is WikiAnswers able to give answers at least to easy questions?

We try to give answers to many questions, but that is where we need help from everyone. Anyone can come on the site and answer questions, but many people ask and don't answer. Maybe we could all help by finding a couple of questions that we can answer and doing it... then more questions overall will be answered. :)
