Why does wikipedia kill answers fun?

Wikipedia doesn't kill the answers, the people reading them do.  There is no wikipedia boss, there's just all of us.

I like to answer questions, but many of the answers people give are highly questionable! Especially those that are seeking to get their two points by writing something stupid like 'x' or 'don't know' or 'haha'. Or those that write huge volumes of material and quote wikipedia as their source. Very few people seem to write anything which is their own material; they merely copy it from internet sites. I believe that is not in the true spirit of Yahoo Answers. So would people please think of their own answers!

I hate it more when you have chosen a best answer and they delete your question. I rather have it be deleted before it was ever put on here so people could answer.

I know this is for fun, however I asked a serious question and some of the answers were rude or generally way off the point. I think some people enjoy putting others down sadly. When I answer a question I make sure I know some facts that are relevent to the question, otherwise, why bother lol

I'd have to say that they are probably just for fun and to make us feel accomplished.  I think it also helps to get people addicted to answers and so they keep coming back so Yahoo continues to make money.

No, I use to do it all the time, but after my third suspension it got boring. The questions that will really get people going are the cannibal ones, the answers I always got made me laugh. Who cares if you piss people off f*ck them.

Bias? I was told in college courses NOT to use Wikipedia as a source because the info is not always creditable or accurate. Never been there, now I see it's at the bottom of this page! Could it be a part of Yahoo? I'll be back!!!!  \nYes, I checked out half a dozen terms of fact, and somebody is definatly out of their mind.\nSome pretty twisted "facts" of history there!\n\nI think we should complain to yahoo directly!!\nMaybe the higher ups have better educations!!!!\nThese jokers are contradicting themselves, and writing their own versions of history! BIAS!!!

Some people use yahoo answers like a chat room where they are only soliciting opinions rather than hard facts.\n\nAdditionally, even though most questions can be answered by google, many people enjoy the repartee and comradery that is artificially created via the YA medium.

That is exactly why I mostly just answer anymore.  I love asking questions.  It is much more fun.  But I kept getting violations for perfectly harmless inate questions!   I really laugh when I get a violation on a resolved question from over a month ago!   Seriously it happened!

The answers they give.  I know this is true of me.  Sometimes I get bored and just throw out wild questions to have some fun.  I think my answers are far closer to who I really am than my questions.

Obviously wikipedia couldn't answer your question.  Thats why you are here.

Let's be fair. Not everyone knows about Yahoo! and Wikipedia. Not everybody has a proactive personality and many people are more used to passively asking questions than seeking the answers themselves. Also, there's no reason we have to accept Wikipedia as law - it's written by the average person too and is not incapable of error. They may think that many heads are better than one.\n\nAdditionally (here goes my 10 points for best answer) why don't people check the 'similar answers' function when entering their quesion or search Y! Answers to see if it's been asked :) This question has, several times.\n\nLastly, how come the second answerer doesn't have an id? That's bizarre...

Well there r different types of quiz masters here - some of them need detailed information regarding certain subjects; certain others who r trying to test others' general/specific knowledge; certain others who r just time wasters; some others who really need help - sympathisers; and of course certain half cracks! People cut and paste long answers because they are 'long' - they do not have the time to type it - they could help other genuine quizzers. Further some of the answers are easily available on the net - for such people the best answer is just a link or even more punishing - copying & pasting it so that they are forced to read it!

Internet providers agree to promote dismemberment materials so as to keep the internet fair and free. Perhaps you should adjust an adult content filter to insensitive. Does is have a setting for "Would rather remain ignorant of world events."?

Wikipedia is simply an online user-based encyclopedia.  I am not sure if the entires are reviewed for quality or truthfulness, but it is a very useful website for research.
