Because the YA IT technicians and engineers still have not put the correct spelling of "Wal-Mart" onto the Yahoo "dictionary YeT. At least they've managed to add "Wikipedia" VERY recently. YA was started as a rival to Wikianswers. Wikipedia WAS a competitor. Now Wikipedia is business partner, although there probably is no legal contract making Yahoo and Wikipedia legal business partners.
