WikiAnswers receives questions from people of all ages and from all parts of the world. There are a number of volunteers who answer them: some are students, some are teachers or professors, some are people who have a particular interest or expertise in certain subjects. There is also a group of supervisors who have been trained to make corrections when necessary, so that the answers are as accurate as possible.
