Chris Whitten, Founder and Director of WikiAnswers remarked, "On other Q and A sites, similar questions get asked repeatedly again, and the answers cannot be improved on when they contain mistakes. On WikiAnswers we merge copy questions together and then grow them with collusion, so that good answers become great answers over time."

Distinct from other community Query and Answer (Q and A) sites, where answers are voted on but not improved, the content on WikiAnswers is a continuing collusion of shared data, using the "wiki" methodology famous for its use on Wikipedia: The quality and coverage of answers is upgraded and improved over time by the community, under the direction of class supervisors.
