Is WikiAnswers an alternative to Wikipedia?

Answer 1

First Answer - No

No; the answers, true or not, are directly added to the site. There isn't much reliable information. It could be a help, but some answers are jokes, and you will not find many deep or hard items.

Second Answer - Yes!

Yes! Answers.com|WikiAnswers is a valid alternative to Wikipedia, and is just as reliable. Both sites are wikis, which means users add and edit content on the site. Because users build both sites, both sites experience some unintentional posting of information that is false or inaccurate, as well a very few users who intentionally post nonsense, false information, spam, and do harm to the site in other ways.

What many may not realize is that both sites have dedicated members who monitor the site to remove and correct false and inaccurate information. They also remove vandalism (harmful posts like spam, nonsense, etc.) and warn and block those who continuously add poor answers or do harm to the site.

Both sites are full of important information about technology, science, health, history, sports, education, and other topics. Answers.com|WikiAnswers goes beyond the deep, scholarly topics to include relationships and other, more personal topics. They also have a Humor and Amusement Corner, which includes a Jokes and Riddles section!

Though not mentioned in the question, Answers.com|ReferenceAnswers is also an alternative to Wikipedia.
