It's not a great website, not that much prestige, and definitely not a reliable source of information compared to wikipedia.

The reason I say this is because teachers at my school accept sources such as wikipedia and other ok sources, and wikianswers is on the do not use as reference list (theirs 3 lists, one you should use for resources, one you can not use, and the rest of the sites are maybes) just because it is not a good site to use.

Yahoo! Answers is more reliable for Q & A.
wikianswers is just some bad website.
