	Why are you making people type out the full names? You should accept "Lincoln" for "Lincoln Memorial", "Vietnam" for "Vietnam Memorial", etc.

	Why on earth does it not accept ww2 memorial or wwii memorial or even national ww2 memorial?

	I lived in D.C. for a year and a half and still managed to miss five of these. You should probably include the Air Force Memorial, which is just across the Potomac in Arlington. It's massive and sits alongside the I-395, seen by far more people than some of the other ones in this quiz.

	Similarly, if the Korean War Memorial is in, then so too should be Iwo Jima.

	So should the World War I memorial, seeing as it was the first war memorial built on the mall.

	I've lived in the DC area for 13 years. About 3 weeks ago I drove past the John Ericsson Memorial. It sits at the center of a traffic circle I remember going through. I parked about 200 yards away, on the same street. That said, I just had to go to Wikipedia to find out who in the world John Ericsson was and where his memorial was located. Imagine my surprise...

	I typed every possible version of "world war 2 memorial" and it didn't give it to me. National is assumed because...national mall. Also to Floydpink, Iwo Jima is in Arlington, as is the Air Force Memorial, neither of which are on the National Mall.

	Why do you accept "Martin Luther King Memorial" but not "Martin Luther King Jr Memorial"????????????

	MasterNachosII:	Mar 16th, 2012 at 23:23 GMT	5 points
	Clearly the John Ericcson National Memorial is NOT doing its job, as I've never even heard of him.

	Hi, everyone. Thanks for the comments. I am 99% certain I had most of the suggested alternates in the quiz, so I have no idea what happened there. It did not require full names when I made it. Why Sporcle published it before I had a chance to come back and make the suggested changes, I am not sure. (As it happens, this was made an Editor Pick while I was in the hospital, and I'm currently on bed rest. So...awesome timing.) I will report the quiz and hope the changes are made as soon as possible. I'm genuinely sorry for the frustration.

	How about the Garfield and Peace monuments on either side of Grant?

	kfs:	Mar 18th, 2012 at 04:39 GMT	2 points
	1. The Grant Memorial is not on the National Mall, it's part of Union Plaza which is under the purview of the Architect of the Capitol and Capitol Police. (Thus the Peace Memorial and Garfield Monument are also excluded). 2. This list excludes the John Paul Jones memorial (next to the World War II Memorial) and the Memorial to the Signers of the Declaration of Independence (in Constitution Gardens). 3. There are actually two memorials to Vietnam, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Vietnam Nurses Memorial. 4. There is also the memorial to the Battleship Maine (underneath the I395 bridge by the Mason Memorial) and various other markers throughout the park (the Canal House on Constitution, the Jefferson Pier marker next to the Washington Monument, the statue of Joseph Henry outside the Smithsonian Castle)

	can't the moderators delete poorly created quizzes?

	Esme, sorry that you aren't well since this quiz has so much potential and has so many things to clean up. As a DC resident of 8 years that has taken thousands of students to the memorials I found some of the wordings really frustrating. DC World War I memorial just has to count as an answer. It is only called DC War Memorial since it was built after WW1 and we hoped we wouldn't have a second one. Great job on including Ericsson, though.
