In my opinion, at least commas should be allowed. However it's most likely they want questions to actually be questions, instead of someone giving details and assuming people know what their question is.

See the link below to WikiAnswers style rules. If your question didn't conform to these rules, you may have gotten a message that said there was a problem with your question.

Why aren't double quotation marks allowed in a question?

Limitations in the WikiAnswers database do not allow certain characters to be used in questions. Also, we would be reluctant to add commas to questions, as parentheses would allow many different variations of a question to be asked. If you need to use double quotation marks, you can use two apostrophes. See Related Question.
