How can you delete your own question after there is an answer?
You can’t.A Quora question doesn’t belong to you, even if you asked it. It belongs to the Quora community and is for anyone to edit and add to.Besides, someone else may have the same question as you, and they can look at the answers to your question rather than just asking a new one. Quora is about helping each other learn, not necessarily for your own personal gain. That’s why you get this message asking you to join.
Is it wrong to ask and answer your own questions?
Thanks for the A2A!As usual, I am going to say “it depends”.If it’s a question of general interest and you have one particular viewpoint to share I don't really see the problem.If there's an area where you have specialist knowledge that would be useful to others, but the right question hasn't yet been asked, again I have no issue with it.Maybe you even asked a question, then went away and had some great moment of insight which you would now like to share. That sounds perfectly reasonable too.But if you're creating a question just to recount some very specific personal anecdote or to promote yourself in some way… that's really what the blog feature is for.Remember that Quora questions belong to the Quora community and may be there long after you have left the site.I'm not saying not to answer questions with personal anecdotes - those are in fact some of my very favourite kinds of answers. What I am saying is not to artificially manufacture a very specific question just to get your experience in when there is a perfectly good blog feature that allows you to do so unfettered.I don't believe the Quora blogs are well enough used or promoted as they are. Maybe if more of us used them they would be. I would certainly like to see that.**Before anyone points out that I hardly ever use the blog feature myself, I don't find blogging suited to my writing style or personality. I am poor at descriptive writing and feel like I overshare as it is. I am far too self-conscious for it. But I do like reading them from other people!

What is it called when you answer your own question as if the person you asked had asked it?
If you mean this type of question:“What do you think? I know that you don’t like it”then I don’t think it has a name as such.It’s not a rhetorical question, which would be:“Which of us can say he has never made a mistake in life?”Maybe you could call it a self referential question, or a self contained question.Then there is this type:“Why did I do it? I wanted to change my life.”This type of question and immediate answer is a rhetorical device often used by politicians and businessmen to offer their views to someone even if that person has not asked the right question. I don’t think that has a name either.So, I’m not really much help am I? No, you’re not…
Can you answer your own questions on Yahoo Answers?
You can answer your question, but you won't get the two points as if you were to answer another question. You can't award yourself best answer to. The only other things you can do is like, comment on, or delete your answer.
Is it weird if I ask and answer my own question here on Quora?
Not really.I've asked one question specifically so I could answer it:What experimental evidence is there for there only being 3 generations of leptons?I was revising subatomic Physics, and I thought it might help me digest information if I wrote an answer explaining it.Since I couldn't find a relevant question, I wrote the one you see above, and wrote an answer, explaining it.I did this because:It would help me revise!I thought my answer (and the other answers) might be of interest to the communitySee, questions are not about a single user getting answers.They are about providing a space where everybody who has that question in the future can find answers.When you are asking a question, you are essentially just saying “I think the answers to this question will be useful to the community” it doesn't necessarily mean you need answers!If you have information in your head, and you think people might have a question in the future — why wait until that question is asked of you?Let's have a random example — I know how to derive the Saha ionization equation.When I was learning plasma physics, I might have wondered where exactly this equation came from — I might have turned to the internet to find out.Therefore, if I want to help alternative-Jacks in the future, I could ask the question “How is the Saha equation derived?”, and answer it myself.What's wrong with that?I have added value to the community, and I have provided a resource that other people might add to, and others might find useful.I really can't see the problem!(This is a bad example, as it turns out that Quora already has this question! How is the Saha Equation derived?)There is obviously a point where it becomes a bit skeevy — if I was going round asking questions like:What fidget spinner does Jack Fraser use?What does Jack Fraser think about the new Star Trek trailer?Which songs does Jack Fraser like?Then that would come across as weird and a bit self-obsessed!But if you're asking questions in the hope that the answers (including yours) will be genuinely useful contributions to Quora, then I don't think there's any problem with that.
