Answering questions on WikiAnswers!
It is a form of opinion. but I think its immense and love it!!
For one thing, it is usually a lot of fun. You get to share knowledge with others, and sometimes you learn things in surprising ways.
because it is fun
because its a fun knowlegable way
While WikiAnswers does not encourage participating just for contribution points, a fast way to get them would be to correct the spelling, grammar and wording of questions/answers. You would be very surprised at how quickly they build up! If that is not your thing, answering questions in an area that you enjoy is not only fun, but does get contribution points!
No. We aren't paid. I do it for fun.
i have no clue
Plastids are found ONLY in plant cells? Next time, go the smart way and try Wikipedia instead of WikiAnswers, though it is fun answering these questions. It makes you feel smarttt!!!!!!!!!!
If you ask a fun question on wikiAnswers, you must be sure to select the right category for it. Select 'Humor and Amusement Corner', or a sub-category such as 'Jokes and Riddles'. Without that clue, the question may be tossed out with the 'junk' questions. Many children send in useless, silly, half questions just to be annoying or out of boredom. The busy volunteers on WikiAnswers toss them out automatically so they can get back to answering real questions. Don't let that happen to your funny questions. Pick the right category. Everybody appreciates a little fun!
No you don't get paid, just do it for fun 😀
The Jury Is In... WikiAnswers Is FunYes, participating in WikiAnswers is fun.If answering questions all day is fun, then I guess I say "YEAH! FUN."Yes, it is.Not really. I just joined to answer 2 questions.Why, yes. Join WikiAnswers and answer, because it is super fun.I can't help but wonder this: How could anyone not have fun while doing this? And I would seriously wonder: Why would anyone do this if not for the fun?It seems to me you have 2 choices, as in many things: Either get stuck in and enjoy -- which is what I do -- or leave it alone. WA is thriving. You can pick and choose to do what you want, within the TOU (Terms of Use); say anything you want to; answer or edit anything; and contribute daily or weekly or whatever. I wouldn't be here if I didn't enjoy it. I wouldn't bother bashing these keys if I didn't think it was worthwhile. Sure I have a bias towards this site. I haven't even been here for a year yet and it constantly amazes me the breadth and depth of people's questions, and the variety of topics that WA deals with.Sure, not all answers hit the spot. Some need to be assessed, or thrown in the bin if necessary. But by and large, if you want to inform -- or be informed -- about anything, then it's up for grabs: "WikiAnswers is your oyster."I suppose it is if you're bored and have nothing else to do. I like answering questions and editing ones that are incomplete and non-related. It entertains me... so I suppose I could categorise it as "fun."I absolutely love WikiAnswers; it not only answers my questions, but also allows me to answer other people's questions. Being 14, I can basically only do school work to satisfy myself by answering the questions that teachers set me. But now I can answer other people's questions too!This is a way to expand your knowledge by others answering your questions and you answering other people's questions -- so, yes, this is fun.In a nerdy kinda way. (:Oh yes, WikiAnswers is very fun and addictive! However, this is a good addiction; we build on your knowledge, as well as teaching you more about responsibility and how to act!However, it is the most fun when you're an active contributor, or even better, a supervisor. ;) But I may be biased, being someone who supervises a topic that was in terrible shape before I whipped up at least a few hundred answers for all the ridiculous questions there. [That would be the Elton John topic.]
