Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Don't you think that most of the questions on here can be solved through wikipedia?

Your views guys?

    lol yes! I can't stand it when people ask for song lyrics when they could just type what they can remember into google and it'll probably come up.

    We need questions with some substance!

    Maybe. Some of the people asking the questions here are so warped in the head that using wikipedia wouldn't solve their core psychological problems. Here, though, people see through their fronts, and manage to give them answers that answer the real questions in the back of their minds.

    Well they could, but Wikipedia ain't always right. And Wikipedia is extremely impersonal.. here you get all those interesting different P.O.V's! And questions relating to people's experiences are unique to this kind of site.

    There is nothing better than personal experience. Wikipedia will give you answers but on this site you will get answers from people who have experienced things first hand.

    Most of the questions needing facts as answers could easily be. Otherwise, this should be called Yahoo! Opinions.

    No...

    Considering the things you can do with wiki... nope. .

    Who writes wikipedia?

    Can wiki answer P&S questions? as in Polls?? No.

    I rest my case.

    Definitions, maybe...

    Opinions, not likely.

    and where is the fun in that?

    Can wiki answer my grandma's goulash recipe? nope.

    I think a computer is not as much as one person.

    One human being is still better than a computer.

    Does wiki tell you how it feels to have gone through a divorce? or what I felt like when I fell in love, or chocolate? Noooo... ;)

    I love P&S!! :))

    great question!

  • 1 decade ago

    Possibly yes but not your last question. And how come your still here, I thought you were going ? ? :)

    And wheres the fun in unsing wikipedia, The answers on here are much more fun !

  • 1 decade ago

    Also on here you can hear about other peoples points of views on things and in some questions cases, how they would handle that situation.

    most of the questions on here could be solved by a 2 year old

    Maybe, but there is no guarantee the wiki answer is exactly correct, cos it is written by ordinary members of the public, just like YA.
