What questions do not have enough information to be answered on WikiAnswers? |
- General questions usually cannot be answered because it would take an entire website or a textbook to do that - questions such as "Explain biology" or "What are the names of all cars ever made?" are too broad to be answered.
- Questions that require us to look at a picture or diagram that you have in front of you cannot be answered because we cannot see your assignment page.
- Questions that must be answered with your opinion cannot be answered by anyone except you - job application questions such as "Why do you feel you should work for this company?" or "Where do you hope to be in five years?" cannot be answered by another person.
- Partial questions or question fragments cannot be answered - a sentence fragment such as "preparation for a position" or "pi R squared" do not explain what your question is, and cannot be answered.
- Questions that are actually statements cannot be answered because they are not questions. "You are in love with a boy and he does not know you exist" is not a question and cannot be answered.
- Questions that do not contain enough information cannot be answered - asking "did he die?" or "how did she become rich?" cannot be answered because we do not know who you are asking the question about.
- Questions that should be asked in a chat room cannot be answered because this is not a chat room. "Who are you?" or "What is your favorite color?" are not questions that can be answered on this website.
- Questions that depend on time and date cannot be answered because time and date are always changing. "How long will it be until the next leap year?" or "What day was the last full moon?" cannot be answered.
