	What is your definition of "pacific"? I think atleast Tokyo should be here. Include source too.

	Why not Tokyo? Manila? Santiago? Lima? I dont think Melbourne is on the Pacific side of Australia.

	@Olliejoseph1997: for the sake of consistency you have a decision to make: do seas belong to oceans or not? If seas belong to oceans than there are many cities you are not including, for example the South China Sea can be considered to be a part of the Pacific Ocean. That is the position taken here: http://www.marbef.org/data/gazetteer.php?p=browser Or you can take the position that seas are totally separate from oceans, in which case you are not going to be able to consider any cities in China because every bit of the China coastline is covered by seas. This is the position taken by the IHO here: http://www.oceanteacher.org/OTMediawiki/images/1/1d/S23_Ed3_Sheet_1_Small.jpg Pick a position and a source and adhere to it.

	San Jose and San Diego are larger than San Francisco. And Tokyo would be quite larger than Osaka too. You've done a horrible job.

	The best way to remedy this is to first, follow tahitiwahini's advice and choose a definition, and second, find a source listing city size (citymayors.de is a commonly used one on sporcle) and stick to it, tat way you can avoid arguments. Also, change the colour scheme to two colours which compliment, the red and light blue are a bit garish.

	Also Tokyo is much much more pacific then Osaka which is on the seto inland sea

	andr5036: This quiz appears to be talking about metro areas (as it rightfully should, they're a much better indication of the relative size/importance of a city, since suburbs are sometimes annexed by the city and sometimes not). Also, general question for the quiz creator: Should Seattle be on this quiz, or are you considering it to be too inland? I believe it's larger than Melbourne and maybe Nagoya.

	Good idea for a quiz, but badly implemented. If Singapore is on the list should Manila be also there? And why are Tokyo and Lima missing? I guess Tokyo is on Tokyo Bay, but then if that's the case Osaka is on Osaka Bay and shouldn't be there, and Melbourne on Port Phillip Bay and shouldn't be there.

	Lima is over 9.000.000

	If you're counting anything on the east coast of Asia as bordering the Pacific (which appears to be the case with Shanghai), then shouldn't Busan be included as well?

	Is this countries that have a Pacific coast, or in Oceania? I was confused.

	Ollie, before you make ANOTHER quiz please do THREE things. 1) provide a source for your info. Most of your quizes need them. 2) Try spell check, many of your quizes have *&^$ spelling and 3) make corrections to your quizes after people have found flaws.
