After doing a little research by doing through the articles edit history, I think that the supposed launch date, which is currently June 28, 2005, is false. As you can see with my sources, the date June 28, 2005 was just put in by random with no reference to support it. And going even further back, the supposed launch date was July 5, 2005, which was also wrong and un-referenced as well. And it's been wrong for over 4 years unfortunately...so I'm going to change the launch date to the referenced December 8, 2005.

Edit:
I think that I have found some reliable sources that supports Yahoo! Answers alpha release being June 28, 2005 and July 6, 2005 (one day off from July 5) respectively. I have found what are supposely the oldest Yahoo! Answers accounts, which were programmers when Yahoo! Answers was still in the alpha stage.
