    If not something clever like "my brain" then you can put the URL of a webpage that has the same info you posted or an article, etc.

    Don't put Wikipedia links there though...Y!A doesn't like Wikipedia.

    where u got ur info from...not all Qs r opinion. some ask for facts. and those may not be answered corectly all the time. like if u learned it from wikipedia, theres a reasonable chance that the info u learned/gave is wrong/inaccurate. so in sources u put like the book, or website, or any place u got ur info from. this is to allow the asker to be able to go and confirm the that u hav justification behind ur answer, as well as be able to go verify the authenticity of the source for themself.

    at the start, I the two love Yahoo! solutions and Yahoo! 360 nonetheless they are 2 countless issues. What i like approximately Y! solutions is which you get to help human beings around the globe on the flaws that difficulty them or they are merely inquisitive approximately. maximum of all, you get to share your expertise to others which for me is a huge deal. i in my opinion do not use my Y! 360 account that lots yet i might desire to assert that that's useful coz it enables me stay linked to the folk i incredibly cherish the main like my acquaintances and relatives..And it enables me to strengthen my creativity and use my complicated techniques.. wish this solutions your question..

    If you used a website or book etc.. to help you come up with your answer you can list it in that section.

    You can also use that section to suggest a website to visit so someone can get more information on the topic they are interested in.

    A source simply tells the asker where you got your information

    if u have a source where you got ur question..you put the website or book there....or where ever you got the question..of if you jus made up the question you leave it blank

  • 1 decade ago

    um yeah you put where you got your answer...

    cause obviously someone told you this, you weren't born with the knowledge of everything. For example, if the question is about brain tumors; you cite the website or book that you learned about brain tumors....get it?:)
