Introduction
We're going to talk about the "objective" part of the question. So, we're not going to talk here about general personnal attitudes needed or anything related to that.

Characteristics of high quality information
This information should ideally enable others to gain time by being (by order of importance):
 * Important and coherent: text is related to the title
 * Structured that means categorized (tag for example), clear (title, sub-title,...): so that anyone can find this information quickly and easily understand the whole message.
 * Quickly understood: visualization could sometimes help in this context, verify interpretation of the question if necessary.
 * Reliable: with other words:
 * Social network (trust): which one? Advantages and disadvantages of each one?
 * Easy discussion and trafic: so that the debate can be facilitated: forum, comments,...so keep monitoring those.
 * Source (= saying where does this information come from).
 * Original: means no repetition with another content somewhere else on the website or on the net, prefer in that case to link with this other content (exept if its short).
 * in its content
 * in its presentation

Before you share a question
If you want to:
 * Find precise information, neutral (not popular because less reliable): Google with advanced search or Wikipedia with "help" function: 5min max.
 * Explore a domain or an answer to a general question:
 * Talk about it with your network
 * Sites: which ones?
 * Directories: http://www.dmoz.org/ or http://www.ipl.org/
