	Ankara isn't in Europe.

	JeroAdmi:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 08:35 GMT	2 points
	Wellington surprised me.

	Ankara is in Asia!

	Hako:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 10:30 GMT	8 points
	I'm a bit surprised. When I include Ankara to the European Capitals I get the same complaining reactions as when I don't include it. Ankara is the capital of a country usually considered European here on Sporcle.

	Probus:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 13:01 GMT	3 points
	I'm not sure that Sporcle does consider Turkey to be "European": rather it includes Turkey in lists of both European and Asian countries (likewise Russia). The vast majority of Turkey (both land and population) is, of course, situated in Asia - including its capital Ankara.

	Saint George's/Saint John's should also be acceptable...abbreviations shouldn't be mandated.

	joebobs:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 15:08 GMT	5 points
	I think it's acceptable o include Turkey in both Europe and Asia quizzes. Geographically, the vast majority is in Asia. Politically, it's in both. In the next 2 to 5 years Turkey will probably join the EU, so it'd be silly not to include it as Europe then.

	Is the omission of Dar es Salaam as an alternative capital of Tanzania purposeful?

	jonnyr12:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 19:05 GMT	2 points
	There is a difference between physical geography and political geography. Even if Turkey joins the EU, a majority of its territory will always be in Asia, and therefore I think that, unless otherwise specified, Ankara should never be considered "European" on quizzes like this (though I can certainly understand the other side of the argument). By this rationale, Moscow would be considered an Asian capital, but we don't do that here do we?

	phildm:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 19:55 GMT	9 points
	Geographically, Moscow is in Europe, since it is WEST of the Urals, and thus should not be considered an Asian capital. Consequently, Ankara is in Asia because it is in the Asian portion of Turkey.

	Really cool quiz. The sad bit was, I knew the countries I was missing but forgot the capitals.

	beforever:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 00:37 GMT	2 points
	Please alter the quiz so that 'Saint John's' and 'Saint George's' are also acceptable answers. Other than that, a good quiz - and Ankara is both European and Asian by Sporcle standards - and in my opinion, the relevant standards to abide by. Leave the debating for political websites and geography experts. We're here to have fun.

	Esme:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 01:40 GMT	1 point
	No way I could have gotten more than maybe twenty in my B.S.E. (Before Sporcle Era) life. Oh, Sporcle, the things you make me carry around in my head.

	hnedka:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 09:57 GMT	-3 points
	Nice quiz, but Kiribati (Tarawa) is definitely to the east of New Zealand.

	hessencrew:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 10:34 GMT	0 points
	Riga should be in it. Ankara is asia

	bart122333:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 15:00 GMT	1 point
	Turkey will absolutely NOT join the EU in the next 5 years...

	Atlas73:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 00:59 GMT	1 point
	Dar es Salaam is also the capital of Tanzania, and that should be accepted.

	MurlzKm:	Aug 17th, 2010 at 06:44 GMT	1 point
	According to Tanzania's own website, the country has two capitals: Dodoma and Dar es Salaam. Of those, the eastern-most is Dar es Salaam. (At least they don't have three capitals like those pesky South Africans!)
