We are building a Q&A knowledge database. If a question is answered within 2 minutes or 2 weeks makes no difference. We are providing the answer for all of those who have that quandary in the future.
Other Q&A sites expire their questions. What then happens? The questions gets asked another way and time is wasted answering the same questions over and over again. On WA we can merge these questions into already-answered questions which saves lots of wasted effort. The alternate wording concept is a strength of WA.
As more and more different wordings are asked question volume will naturally start to ease up as people start to arrive at pre-answered questions more and more. That is the potential WA holds as the ultimate source for instant answers. Someone who has the answer may turn up anytime.
Umm, they do people make an account and find questions they know the can answer, ok?
We don't know if we know everything but we will try to answer all the questions we can!
It could be that you've been blocked because of inappropriate behavior while on WikiAnswers (whether questions or answers).
WikiAnswers questions are answered by humans. If your question doesn't get answered, it is not because "Wiki doesn't want to answer it." It is because there are literally THOUSANDS of new questions on this site every single day, and it is very difficult to keep up with them. The site cannot be closed down just because one question doesn't get answered.
No, it doesn't. I find this personally hard to believe. I'm just looking for stupid questions.
Asia Wise Test????? lol half the questions on wikianswers are about it tell me if you get the answer im stressing cuz my username doesnt work:O
im the one who asked the question not who answered it. how intelogent is this website. the one who asks the questions doesnt answer them morons
Then you have to go to a different website or create an account and ask again (if you already have an account then sign in and ask again) and check back to see if it gets answered.
No, if wiki answers doesn't answer your quiestion staright away it doesn't mean that it is a waste of time because your quiestion will be most likely be answered at some time. =]
There are a lot of questions on this site, and it is difficult for people to get around to every single one of them. Feel free to jump in and start answering questions from other people. If we all pitch in, it will make it more likely that yours get answered as well. :)
There are questions that have not been answered here just like your question that has not been answered until now, by me. If you look up a question that you do not have the answer to on this website, and it has been answered, underneath it is usually a little section titled Can you Answer These Questions? And that section will have several links under it that go to questions you can answer. The alternative is that the question you have asked does not have an answer, in which case the website will ask you Is your question One of These? Underneath that will be another list of links. On that list there are usually a few unanswered questions which have the word Unanswered written after them in light grey. I hope this has helped! :)
wikianswers doesnt give out personal information about people.
