Because it is performed by a program which doesn't actually understands the question (heck, half of the questions doesn't make sense at all), only searches for some keywords, and categorizes by those.

Why does WikiAnswers allow bad questions?

In my opinion, there are no such things as 'Bad Questions'. And as such, they shouldn't be answered with 'Bad Answers'. I agree. I tell my students that if there were a bad question, it would be the one that wasn't asked.


Why is WikiAnswers bad at its job?

Some common problems with WikiAnswers are that new questions take a long time to get answered, and answers are sometimes short and unhelpful. WikiAnswers tries to solve these problems by holding contests and Answerthons, but there are still many unanswered questions. Check out the related questions below for some tips on getting your questions answered on WikiAnswers.

Can you not answer with duh and attitude on WikiAnswers?

No, you cannot answer questions with 'duh' or with any kind of bad attitude on WikiAnswers. People do not want to get an answer from someone who is in a bad mood, or from someone who just wants to make them feel bad by writing 'duh', when it wasn't obvious. Even if it was obvious, you are not allowed to write 'duh' or anything else with a bad attitude on WikiAnswers.

Is this question suitable for WikiAnswers?

Any question that is appropriate is legitimate to WikiAnswers. Make sure you need the question answered. For example I have seen questions like: How do you eat a road? Are tables edible? How many letters in the word letter? These are useless and inappropriate questions for the WikiAnswers community. Not because they have bad language, just because they are useless.
