	A great quiz, but way too much scrolling to be any fun. Can you change it from 3 columns to 4 or 5 on the Style page? Better yet, break it into Part 1 & Part 2?

	Fidelio:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 20:10 GMT	1 point
	Reagan is above George Washington? You've got to be kidding me.

	Grawk:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 20:22 GMT	1 point
	First of all I loved the quiz! Was great fun. Couple of things though: What's your source? Your link only goes directly to the wikipedia main page. It seems a bit inconsistent, with dictators like Lenin/Stalin/Mao making it while say Hitler and Franco do not (personally I don't think any of them should be on a 'greatest' list unless it's greatest mass murderers). And accept "Plato" for Platon please!

	JeroAdmi:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 20:27 GMT	0 points
	Lenin Stalin and Mao are still admired by large audiences in their country. Especially Mao. This is a poll asked to the inhabitants of these countries. Might be not that up to date, e.g. the Netherlands had that poll in 2004. Fortuyn was killed for only 2 years, so his ideology was still in the mind of many Dutch people. If you do the poll now, William of Orange would be on nr. 1 again, I guess. Great quiz! :P I knew not Portuguese or Fin or Romanian

	fla:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 20:30 GMT	1 point
	I know Hitler was definitely excluded from the "Greatest Germans" poll, and it's entirely possible the same applied to Franco. It's spelt "Dostoevsky", "William of Orange" should probably be accepted, and similarly probably "Xiaoping" should be allowed too. I also think it should probably be split. Still, not bad.

	Stewart:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 21:03 GMT	4 points
	Second rockgolf's comment about the size. The fact that there are twice as many Americans as any other nationality doesn't help that any. Also, should accept 'Deng' as a surname. And I think the plural of Finn is Finns.

	Sesel:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 23:08 GMT	2 points
	Isn't "Santa Teresa de Jesús" more usually called Teresa of Ávila?

	RebeccaAMax:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 23:18 GMT	1 point
	It would be nice if you would cite a source, because otherwise I will take you to task on your choices.

	MaxCanning:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 04:06 GMT	6 points
	George W. Bush? Get the f*** outta here.

	abanazerb:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 12:01 GMT	2 points
	Interesting quiz. Some of the selections are hilarious - 3/10 of the greatest Spaniards of all time are living royals! I agree with the suggestions above. On an English language website you need to accept the anglicised version of all names, such as William of Orange. Also, we are Brits or Britons, not Britains!

	Yodageddon:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 12:13 GMT	4 points
	Surely you should have the same number of people for each nation. You've made it out like there have been more 'great' Americans than 'great' members of other countries, even though America has existed for such a short time compared to many other countries/nationalities listed there.

	abanazerb:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 12:17 GMT	1 point
	One more thing - maybe it would be good if you added the date of the survey to the heading of each, e.g. "Greatest Britons (2008)" etc.

	hozny:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 12:34 GMT	3 points
	Billy Graham?! Shaun Bartlett?! Is this some kind of joke??

	Hemmo66:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 21:48 GMT	2 points
	claiming Einstein to be American? I know he ended his life an American citizen, but he wasn't American.

	okapi:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 23:40 GMT	1 point
	Mark, Any American citizen is an American

	BagelPopper:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 18:03 GMT	1 point
	alright great idea. way way way way too much scrolling. also. you need to have a consistent list on which you base these people off.

	How is Napoleon left off of Frenchmen, and how is Tolstoy excluded but Doestoevsky included in Russians?

	ArmadilloJack:	May 13th, 2012 at 13:17 GMT	1 point
	Christopher Columbus was Italian, born in Genoa. His exploration were financed by the Spanish King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.
