No I'm sorry but wiki answers and Wikipedia are not reliable sources to find information. If you get information off of here its wrong. Wait so if all information is wrong, that means this information is wrong but its right but if it wrong it can't be true. I don't know just dont use this site...............


--I would have to disagree, but i also have to agree, as some of the information on wikipedia and wikianswers is true, but some contributors tend to "sabotage" answers. Thus, making it both reliable and unreliable.

Is WikiAnswers related to Wikipedia?

WikiAnswers & WikipediaAlthough each of these two sites is a "wiki" site - meaning that the public in general supplies the information - WikiAnswers is not associated with the online encyclopedia Wikipedia; WikiAnswers is a question and answer site. WikiAnswers uses a modified form of the MediaWiki software that Wikipedia also uses, so editing on one site is very similar to editing on the other.However, Answers.com - the parent site of WikiAnswers - does include content from Wikipedia.So what exactly is Wikipedia?It is a wiki-encyclopedia, containing pages written by the public as accurately as possible to serve as a free, "open-source" encyclopedia. Wikipedia gives an all-out definition with extreme accuracy and many, many paragraphs of information, while WikiAnswers allows users to answer a specific question, the 'human' side of the answer, so it is defined well enough for the asker to get the information they want right away, rather than sift through pages of information.
