Is a wiki site a reliable source of information?

WikiAnswers is as reliable as its Contributors WikiAnswers can't be considered a reliable source. Every answer to every question needs to be considered critically. You should consider other sources and speak to professionals in your area (a doctor, lawyer, etc.) in some cases. That said, WikiAnswers has some wonderful contributors. Every honest contributor helps make WikiAnswers a more reliable source.

WikiAnswers is as reliable as its Supervisors WikiAnswers is usually reliable because, as you can tell by the name, it is a Wiki, so anyone can edit it and make corrections. Also, there are supervisors that have special "Super Powers". For example:

• They can protect an answer from changes, if it is constantly being vandalized
• If someone makes a change to an answer, and it was better before, they can revert it.
• If one specific person is vandalizing the site, they can Block him/her.

Supervisors are assigned to specific topics, depending on what they know best.
