Is WikiAnswers the same as Wikipedia?
No. They are both Wikis, meaning the public in general writes pages, but WikiAnswers, this site, is meant to hold user-defined answers to specific questions asked by other users, somewhat like a help blog. Wikipedia 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 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.
