There must be a good reason why your answers are erased. If you create an account, you can report the removing of your answers in the Report Vandalism and Abuse section of the Community Forum.

How is it that Google Answers has fallen by the wayside yet WikiAnswers marches on?

Google Answers crashed and burned due to the lack of accurate answers and the fact that no one could edit the answers that were on Google Answers. WikiAnswers allows anybody to contribute, and doesn't simply search for answers - WikiAnswers MAKES answers. With the help of WikiAnswers' rival, Yahoo! Answers, both inadvertently teamed up and crushed Google Answers out of the answers competition.

Does the Internet have good answers?

If you mean 'Does the Internet have better answers than WikiAnswers?', then that question depends on what type of question you are talking about. The Internet may have some better answers to questions than WikiAnswers, but I would highly recomend WikiAnswers because WikiAnswers is a Q & A site, (Questions and Answers) but the Internet is not. So if your wondering about which one is better, the answer is WikiAnswers. Hope I answered your question!


When cleaning up 'Flagged questions' that have multiple answers how do you decide what may be erased?

Integrating answers can be tricky. Sometimes when there are differences of opinion you will need to use something like "Below are some answers from WikiAnswers contributors:" and list the different opinions in bullet points. If two or more answers for one question (posted by different contributors) are substantially identical then duplicate(s) can be deleted. Any additional info included in one of those answers can oftentimes be added to the other answer. One thing to remember is that no user "owns" any part of the answers in WikiAnswers. So any part of an answer can be modified in an effort to create the one "best" answer. However, this does not include deleting valid viewpoints with which one does not agree.


Why do you have Two answers for one question on wikianswers and how do you know which one people are recommending?

WikiAnswers is set up to recognize duplicate questions, but if there's even one word different, both questions will appear. A WikiAnswers Supervisor will usually catch this and combine the answers, eventually.


What do you do if one of your answers on WikiAnswers are wrong?

If you ever find any of the answers on WikiAnswers to be wrong, just replace the incorrect answer. We all make mistakes, even the best of us.
