I disagree with the link to Answers Corperation being too their website, I changed it to the article on Answers Corp. but it was reverted. MinuteElectron 14:50, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted back to a version prior to the mass deletion of content on this page. Just because an article describes a business or website does not mean it is an advertisement. If you feel some thing is not accurate or could be considered an ad please explain here. Explaining how a site works or images of the evolution of the site are not advertisements. 70.131.83.65 00:02, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:FAQFARM.JPG

Image:FAQFARM.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please Confirm that Article Meets Standards

I have taken some time today to update the article on WikiAnswers to sound less like an advertising piece. Would you kindly check to make certain that it meets guidelines? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.16.72.200 (talk) 20:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits made a big difference in tightening the content and explaining concisely how the process works. You had reverted my edit that removed the logo section, and it took me a few minutes to figure out the infobox logo was the similar answers.com logo, which I replaced with the correct wikianswers logo and removed the logo section. I also made additional edits consistent with wikistyle. I think it's too soon to remove the advertising tag; the article's references are mostly self-references to the website, and the content should be shortened considerably -- removing the table of external links to topic, consolidating most of the sections and bulleted list into one or two sections and condensing the mission and principles into one or two sentences. Adding external news articles would also help justify adding any additional article length or keeping what's already there. Flowanda | Talk 23:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Links

Add a redirect link to this page 'Wiki Answers' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Firtvid20 (talk • contribs) 07:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changing words

As one of those 380 some Supervisor's, I would like to correct one thing, but thought i would ask first. Instead of saying senior supervisor's are 'Old supervisors' I would like to correct it to say Seasoned supervisor's, as that is what we call them. Thanks for the great write up!

Rewrite Time

Yes, it had to happen eventually, and it has. As Kevin (above) said, it was a 'great write-up', but it wasn't a Wikipedia article. I have attempted to remedy that, and address some of the multiple issues.

I've neutralised POV, stripped out the most extraneous information, link farm and ad-speak; and generally cleaned up both the content and the language.

I've detagged the page, but that is not to say there isn't still work to do. Centrepull (talk) 07:11, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikia

Perhaps this should mention that Wikianswers is also the name of Wikia's newly relaunched Q&A site^[1] which was named this 2 years before Answers Corp acquired FAQFarm and gave it the same name. Angela . 00:46, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like someone removed this information that you added. I think this whole page is biased towards answers.com commercial answers service rather than wikia's free wikianswer service, and this page should redirect to the two different services rather than being solely for answers.com service, especially since it was named wikianswers after wikia's service. cheers, Jamie 24.108.77.192 (talk) 02:49, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

so

when did juicy couture first come out and who invented it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.49.31.129 (talk) 19:59, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Addy?

To me this sounds very advertisey-especially the intro. Anyone else think that? dottydotdot (talk) 16:36, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I'd also suggest including information on how abysmal most of the answers actually are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.34.166 (talk) 18:47, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Languages

I think there should add a section in the article about the languages that WikiAnswers has lanched in, such as Tagalog, Italian (Italiano), Spanish (Espanol), Deutsch.--Clarkcj12 (talk) 19:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
