	Good quiz. It's pretty standard Sporcle practice to accept "Washington" for Washington, DC, and I think that would be a pretty harmless change to make

	DTNelson:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 23:52 GMT		3 points
	They may SAY it's in Seattle, but it's in Bellevue. I used to drive past the thing every day. Seattle and Bellevue are hardly the same thing.

	ZapRowsdower:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 00:05 GMT		20 points
	Is this quiz part of someone's mission year?

	TheGreatZo:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 00:24 GMT		8 points
	DTNelson is correct. The quiz needs to accept answers for where the temples are actually located, not just the nearby major city.

	bsd987:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 00:30 GMT		17 points
	Manhattan is not a city; New York is a city. New York should be listed as well as accepted.

	sproutcm:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 00:43 GMT		9 points
	@DTNelson, I too drive by the one in Belmont, Mass. every day on the way to work, and Belmont is far enough out it isn't even near a Boston-based subway. I tried to type in Belmont, and then quit the quiz when it didn't accept it.

	The "Washington, DC" LDS temple is actually in Maryland, between Bethesda and Silver Spring. It's visible from I-495 and really, really ugly.

	tlchi:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 02:44 GMT		4 points
	Yep, just checked the address, and the "Chicago" temple is in Glenview, IL

	jake_t:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 02:51 GMT		2 points
	Colonia Juarez seems sufficient instead of Ciudad Juarez Chihuahua. Chihuahua is the state. Same for Hermosillo Sonora.

	notmormon:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 02:55 GMT		2 points
	Another correction: there is no LDS temple in Raleigh, NC. The temple is out in Apex at 590 Bryan Drive. (Not sure why they put Raleigh on their sign... what an insult to the good town of Apex!)

	Gemini:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 03:22 GMT		3 points
	Yeah, I also see the Belmont one on my way to work, and it's not really that close to Boston. I mean, you can see Boston from it, but that's as useful as saying it's in Arlington or Lexington.

	steelydan77:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 03:32 GMT		14 points
	As previously mentioned the LDS temple of "DC" is in Kensington, MD but it isn't ugly it looks like the Emerald City

	mark_oh:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 04:15 GMT		5 points
	Also, Tahiti isn't a country. So, it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the countries and states listed.

	Have to agree: Manhattan is a borough, not a city (it's New York), and the Washington-area one is definitely not in Washington proper, but just off the beltway in Maryland.

	SporcleAdmin:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 05:07 GMT		9 points
	All, thanks for the feedback, the quiz has been amended to accept the physical addresses, but display the metros.

	It is NOT in Toronto! It's in Brampton at the corner of Bramalea and Torbram. Brampton has a population of 450,000 people and is a good hour drive outside of Toronto. Granted, no one will ever guess Brampton unless they are locals, but still...Toronto is incorrect.

	There hasn't been one quiz in the last week, that I thought "Thats an interesting quiz, I will do it". This quiz just sums the last week on Sporcle up.

	rockgolf:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 13:54 GMT		4 points
	MistsofSpring is absolutely correct. I can see the spire from my house.

	Bob91351:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 14:42 GMT		14 points
	How do 12+% of people NOT get that the Mormons have a Temple in Salt Lake City???

	It is rassuring that the LDS Church supported apartheid

	Great quiz thanks for posting it!!

	rockgolf:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 21:03 GMT		4 points
	Ah! The problem is the source. The linked page is the one giving all the wrong locations. Also, it indicated a number of temples should have opened between when this quiz was created (Sept 2009) and nearly a year later.

	rockgolf:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 21:28 GMT		2 points
	@SporcleAdmin: There are still a number of correct physical location cities that don't seem to be accepted answers: London/Surrey, Seattle/Bellvue, Sydney/Carlingford, Stockholm/Vasterhaninge, Frankfort/Friedrichdorf, Detroit/Bloomfield Hills, Halifax/Dartmouth, Adeliade/Marden. And that's just in the first 100 temples listed on the link site.

	chriskotx:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 02:13 GMT		2 points
	For Mexican locations, Juarez should be accepted without Ciudad (city) and Hermosillo is the city, Sonora is the state..so leave off Sonora. I missed both of them because of that.

	jholtemore:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 07:02 GMT		7 points
	The LDS church names the temples based on their metro areas, not their literal addresses. I think it makes it a bit easier to guess, but I can see why that would give locals some trouble.

	What were the bonuses? When I tried Gilbert and Phoenix, AZ, they appeared at the bottom of the list.

	FYI: the Nebraska temple isn't named after the modern-day metro. It's named after the pioneer-era metro.

	dixon:	Aug 23rd, 2010 at 08:42 GMT		5 points
	@Broseph: Those were temples that have been announced but not yet dedicated (i.e. opened).

	dixon:	Aug 23rd, 2010 at 08:45 GMT		4 points
	The title/instructions of the quiz could have asked for the temples to be listed by name, not by location. That would have made most of the previous complaints moot.

	Silver Spring, Maryland, has one too!

	Interesting that Pocatello (the largest city in that part of Utah that is legally within Idaho) does not have one.

	going along with the others, the one in "nashville" is actually in franklin TN, a suburb 30 minutes south of nashville in a completely different county. also two more temples have recently opened up: cebu city in the philippines and kiev in the ukraine. needs an update based on the church of LDS site:http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/

	Regardless of what your feelings are about Mormons and the LDS Church, can't we agree that the temple's architecture is really outstanding? Sporcle should be a place where we gather together as one, with the common goal of furthering knowledge, not bashing other people's belief systems.
