The answers are put in by the members and users of this website.
Wikipedia is like WikiAnswers for a lot of the things so they get their answeers from people like me.
wikipedia is a good website too. it give you stuff that is more detailed like for a report. but it doesnt have the wider selection and easier answers like wikianswers have. (wikianswers is funner!)
Like this site (Wikianswers), Wikipedia is a user driven website. But both have rules to follow.
You must remember that WikiAnswers depends on people like you and us to give the answers so they might not always be right.
Because there are some people that are on WikiAnswers that only like to vandalize or give poor answers, but there are just as many people here that like to give good answers and to stop vandals.
Because there are just random people giving random, but maybe accurate answers out there. Like me.
They do different things. Wikipedia is more like an encyclopedia with articles on different subjects. Answers/WikiAnswers is a specific question-and-answer site. There is some information that might be the same, but this is a site where you can ask questions you can't find the answer to anywhere else.
That's exactly what it is.
Children like to shock themselves and others.
WikiAnswers and Wikipedia share the same basic idea -- the Wiki. A wiki is a dynamic, up-to-date database of information supported by volunteers, experts, and users that is constantly being improved by revision and contributions. So basically, the answers you get on WikiAnswers are never sealed (with some exceptions); there is always room to build upon previous information, which is why people love this site so much!
Because itis fun why do you do it ?
Because it is really bad for research so i would suggest wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, no offence wiki answers, but it doesn't always have the right answers, because like this question they could've just made it up.
