What else can I help you with?
Does anyone here use WikiAnswers to chat?
its really hard to chat on Wikianswers, since it only allows you to ask and answers questions, so if you want to chat, go to another site.IF YOU WANT TO CHAT GO TO ANOTHER SITE - THIS SITE IS FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS!
Why did this PC give a virus warning after clicking on another WikiAnswers question?
There may be a virus in your computer that got onto your computer from another website, or has been in your computer and has just been detected when you clicked on a WikiAnswers question. WikiAnswers questions do not give or contain viruses, so WikiAnswers, Answers, and ReferenceAnswers websites are out of the question.
Is it okay to copy and paste an answer from WikiAnswers to answer another WikiAnswers question when the two questions are asking exactly the same thing?
If the two questions are nearly identical, either recommend a merge, or ask a Supervisor to merge the questions for you. If the questions are not the same, but have the same answer, it is alright to copy and paste an answer as long as you wrote it. Don't take credit for an answer that you did not write.
What is the best way to find interesting answered questions on WikiAnswers?
Go to category pages and see which questions are the most popular (they will be at the top). Another category that might interest you is the Most Amusing Questions Ever Asked on WikiAnswers category. You can also follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook for a daily feed of interesting questions.
Apart from WikiAnswers where else can you go to ask more questions?
There are many websites similar to WikiAnswers which you can ask questions on. Quora is very similar to WikiAnswers except that it has more features, and a smaller user base. Aardvark is another Q&A service that is designed to get answers fast and it works well, but you can't search for questions on it that have already been answered. Yahoo answers is also like WikiAnswers, except it allows people to post separate answers to questions rather than have everyone edit one answer.
Why do contributors and supervisors on WikiAnswers keep combining questions that are not related into one question?
They don't. Sometimes supervisors may accidentally do that, but they will always fix it later.When supervisors combine questions into another question, that is called "merging." This is necessary when many questions are asking the same thing.For example, the following questions are asking the same thing:Why aren't the answers to my questions good?How come the answers are sarcastic on WikiAnswers?Why does WikiAnswers prove not good at getting you right answers?These will all be merged into one primary question:Why are there no good answers to my questions?
Do you WikiAnswers even answer us?
Every few seconds a question is asked and every few seconds another is answered. Since WikiAnswers is open to many countries, there is always someone awake and answering questions!
Why does WikiAnswers not allow stupid questions?
Because the purpose of the website is to create a common place for people who have questions and people who have knowledge to interact with one another, by asking and answering questions. If unwanted/unnecessary questions are allowed, the main purpose of the website would be defeated. Hence, they are not allowed
How do you help people answer questions on WikiAnswers?
One extremely helpful step is to put them in the correct category. Another is to write the questions in proper English and in COMPLETE sentences, not just a few keywords as if you are talking to a search engine.
Is WikiAnswers better than Ask.com and Yahoo Answers?
It depends on someone's opinion whether or not one website is better than another at answering questions. Of course, those who participate on WikiAnswers regularly think it is the best Q&A site on the web.
If Remington is outsourcing American jobs I will sell every Remington firearm I have and never buy another one?
That is a statement, not a question. WikiAnswers is for questions. Please ask a question.
What do people use WikiAnswers for?
Yes. WikiAnswers is used by millions of people every month. However, they don't all come directly to WikiAnswers. Many people go to Google or another search engine, and their search leads them here.
