	Looks like you forgot Anguilla. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Anguilla

	Holy:	Aug 11th, 2010 at 22:05 GMT	12 points
	Yes, I did. I'll fix it now. Thank you.... OK, it is fixed now.

	**** TO ALL SPORCLERS: When rating this (or any) image-based quiz, please consider that user-created quizzes have severe limitations when it comes to graphics and images. It takes a great deal of effort even to get an image quiz to look as good as this one. No amount of user effort or creativity can make an image quiz look anywhere near as nice and user-friendly and professional-looking as the admin-created quizzes. If I could make quizzes like theirs, I would! Thank you.

	I have been away from Sporcle for a while but have now updated the quiz based on the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles. I included the individual public bodies of the Netherlands separately instead of the whole group, since each is its own public body. And, of course, I added the two new constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. I've also updated the corresponding capitals quiz: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Holy/capitals_territories_Americas

	Please change it so you could avoid writing out "South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

	I agree with stephen, "South Georgia" should be sufficient.

	@stephenphilsfan9 and AtomicIce: I've changed that data point. I wrestled with that for a long time. I wanted quizzers to learn and know the official name of the territory, but it was impossible to include all variations (e.g. "south" or "s," variants with and without "and" and "the" and spaces [contrary to expectations, Sporcle doesn't handle those very well with longer names]) in the space permitted. I thought that if someone WANTED to type out the full name for the sake of reinforcing that learning point, that person would be denied that if the shorter name were permitted. I suppose that just showing the full name will provide some learning opportunity.

	Probably asking too much to accept uk virgin islands? Just really bummed out when I saw that I was right about that flag but just didn't fill in the right name.

	White text (numbers) on yellow background appear horribly badly visible on my screen. Also not sure randomization is really necessary. I didn't know them all, and kept searching for those randomly placed white numbers on yellow and clicking there to answer those few flags I did knew. Other than that, great quiz.

	Holy:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 06:29 GMT	1 point
	@Tobsodan: Yes, it probably is too much, but I'll consider it anyway. Thanks for the input. @Bober: I'll play around with the colors. That color combo shows up very nicely on all the screens I've played on. As for the randomization: I made these quizzes (territory flags and capitals, 8 quizzes total so far) so that I could learn this information. I planned to take them many times and keep doing so over the years so that I could retain the information. If I didn't randomize the sequence, then I wouldn't be learning and relearning the information; I'd just be learning the sequence of answers. Thanks for your inputs!

	Downranked for the random order in an image quiz, of all things, but otherwise a decent quiz.

	I like the quiz, but I think you should allow 'Grand Cayman Islands' for the 'Cayman Islands', and 'UK Virgin Islands' for 'British Virgin Islands".

	adhair:	Sep 16th, 2011 at 10:36 GMT	3 points
	There's only one Grand Cayman island.

	highbad:	Oct 29th, 2011 at 09:02 GMT	1 point
	adhair +1. Please, oh please, turn off the randomized order.

	I believe that you forgot Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a self-governing territory of France off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Otherwise, great quiz! :)

	Holy:	Nov 6th, 2011 at 16:53 GMT	0 points
	@AAJP: Thank you! See the notes. "Excludes French possessions...." But, you can find Saint Pierre and Miquelon featured in my other quizzes that focus on French territories' capitals and flags.
