Some questions are answered almost immediately. Some questions are never answered, or turn out to be unanswerable.
WikiAnswers is a "question and answer co-op." Everything -- the questions and the answers -- is contributed by visitors just like you.
Questions remain unanswered until someone volunteers an answer. Fortunately, there are a number of intelligent people who are remarkably generous with their time.
Advice- If you want fast answers or a lot of information at once, you should probably try a search engine like www.google.com or www.dogpile.com
- If you want Word definitions, you should try an online dictionary (or a real one)
- If you want to chat, you should try an online chat room or a social networking website like www.myspace.com or www.facebook.com
- Make sure that you include enough precise informationfor your question to be answered. For example, avoid questions like 'What was life like in California in those days?' Instead, ask something like 'Did the Spaniards have much influence on everyday life in California when it was part of the Spanish Empire?'
- Don't expect WikiAnswers to do your homework for you - we will be happy to help you figure out how to do the work, but we are not specifically a homework website.
- Try not to ask questions that require a gigantic answer. It's not reasonable to expect someone to whip out 100 pages of single spaced text for you, so questions like "Tell me everything about Ecology", aren't likely to get answered. Narrow it down a little.

Wiki Answers is a contributor driven website. That means that ordinary people on line take the time to answer questions if they know the answer. Perhaps the person that knows the answer to your question isn't online yet.
Some people do not know the answer to the question. Also, some people submit silly questions that people do not want to answer. Even if I do not know the answer I research the questions and anwer the question.
