WikiAnswers is as reliable as its Contributors WikiAnswers can't be considered a reliable source. Every answer to every question needs to be considered critically. You should consider other sources and speak to professionals in your area (a doctor, lawyer, etc.) in some cases. That said, WikiAnswers has some wonderful contributors. Every honest contributor helps make WikiAnswers a more reliable source.

WikiAnswers is as reliable as its Supervisors WikiAnswers is usually reliable because, as you can tell by the name, it is a Wiki, so anyone can edit it and make corrections. Also, there are supervisors that have special "Super Powers". For example:

  • They can protect an answer from changes, if it is constantly being vandalized
  • If someone makes a change to an answer, and it was better before, they can revert it.
  • If one specific person is vandalizing the site, they can Block him/her.
Supervisors are assigned to specific topics, depending on what they know best.

No. This is a wiki. Anyone from anywhere in the world can edit materials here. Materials that are un-editable can be considered more reliable than materials open for all to re-write.

Should you trust a wiki for Academic Research?

Since wikis are free content there is a possibility that they contain misleading, biased, or otherwise false information. Citing a wiki as a source for academic information is often frowned upon for this reason. Also since information on a page can be changed and reworded there is no guarantee that the information used will exist later for either your or another persons use. A wiki can however be a good place to start to find information for academic research. Most wikis including wikipedia push to have information cited at the bottom of the page. You can therefore find the information you need on a wiki and then find the original source. This allows you to not only verify the information given to make sure it came from someplace reliable but it also gives you a book or some other publication that contains more information on the subject you are researching. These resources can then be cited in academic papers unlike a wiki. However it is imperative that you actually find the copy of the source material and determine 1)That it is a reliable source such as a paper in a medical journal or a book from someone who is an authority on the subject, and 2) That the statement attributed to this work in this wiki is actually contained in this reliable source.

What is a reliable website for information on the film Battle Los Angeles?

The most reliable web source that I know of for information on this film (other than Wikipedia) is Battle: Los Angeles Wiki. It was created through a website called Wikia in which you can "discover, share, and add your knowledge!" It's basically a website where you can contribute to and create a "Wiki", or online encyclopedia, for anything you want. The website is very reliable and very interesting. It is also very well organized.
