What is a better question and answer site than Wikipedia?

Answer 1

sorry but I checked the net and googled it, searching for one but couldn't find one took me a hour to finish doing that. It's just wikipedia mate. Well there's answers.com! There's also Citizendium and dKosopedia. There's none other better than Wikipedia, though am afraid mate.

Answer 2

Wikipedia is DIFFERENT from this site, so 'better than' really has no meaning. It's like asking 'Is a laptop better than protein?' The answer will depend on your need. WikiAnswers is a wiki by definition, and this means that virtually anyone can submit questions, answers, or full edits to answers. Review of materials is broad, and is not as exacting as Wikipedia. Membership requirements and contribution requirements here at WikiAnswers are also quite different, and they do not presume anything about the level of expertise, education or experience of anyone desiring to make contributions.

Wikipedia is a wiki also, but in a more formal sense. There is continuous review of material, and articles are not as easy to contribute. Wikipedia is designed to be a reference source and so it can be considered somewhat more authoritative than Q&A wikis like this one. Deliberately falsifying information, or submitting too few or fake citation materials will cause you trouble. Even so, Wikipedia shouldn't be considered absolutely authoritative and beyond error. Not even the very best sources are completely free from error. If you are looking for quick feedback or have an unusual question that is not readily found in Wikipedia, WikiAnswers can be a fun site to explore, and perhaps get some unconventional approaches to questions at the same time.

Answers.com as distinct from WikiAnswers is similar to Wikipedia, and materials found there are reviewed and can be considered probably as authoritative as Wikipedia. Materials there are not subject to instant edit by anyone, but are reviewed and maintained in order to preserve accuracy.

Part of the fun of sites like WikiAnswers is making contributions, and not just finding reasons that other sites are better. So, get busy asking and answering questions. You might be surprised how much you learn by trying to carefully answer someone else's questions. It isn't nearly as easy as you might think!

Answer 3

The answer to this very important question is you CANNOT find any good websites that aren't Wikipedia because every time you try to look up something the only website that really has what you are looking for is Wikipedia and you are not allowed to use stupid wikipedia because IT IS NOT CORRECT or so my English teacher says. I am so mad! People should make some accurate websites for once!
