	Fine Quiz! The fourth-largest island is a vowel short, though.

	RobPro:	Apr 16th, 2011 at 09:31 GMT	3 points
	So it is! Thank you

	koipen:	Apr 16th, 2011 at 10:12 GMT	4 points
	Kanchenjunga is another commonly used form of the name. Good.

	Pelmert:	Apr 16th, 2011 at 10:43 GMT	4 points
	The largest states of what country do you mean?

	KINGofFIENDS:	Apr 16th, 2011 at 11:14 GMT	2 points
	What about the Federated States of Micronesia?

	RobPro:	Apr 16th, 2011 at 11:17 GMT	3 points
	Changed. Totally looked over Micronesia o_o. Thanks!

Comment below threshold: show it

	I used many sources to clarify the Largest Islands and they all said Australia is a continental land mass.

	koipen:	Apr 16th, 2011 at 12:31 GMT	3 points
	People's Republic of China?

	xetcaf:	Apr 16th, 2011 at 12:50 GMT	3 points
	What about the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the People's Democratic republic of Korea?

	RobPro:	Apr 16th, 2011 at 12:55 GMT	7 points
	Yeah what about 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'? The ones in this quiz are ones that are more commonly used on Sporcle. Eg. On Sporcle you type China, Marshall islands, North Korea. I will add the others anyway as bonus ones.

	adidag0:	Apr 16th, 2011 at 15:15 GMT	7 points
	You also type Micronesia.

	Most of the quiz is fun, but the name-length category is problematic and needs more sporcle alternatives (unless you specify that the whole name has to be spelled out). I'm used to using St. instead of Saint, for example, and drc. Also, right now, when I painstakingly typed out the name of the UK, I got DRC!

	RobPro:	Apr 16th, 2011 at 18:03 GMT	0 points
	Yeah I added longer names which people have suggested so that they are accepted with the ones currently in the quiz so that your efforts are not wasted... Otherwise it would cause alot more trouble to get rid of some an replace them...

	debbiedoesnothin:	Apr 17th, 2011 at 09:08 GMT	2 points
	I would give the quiz 5 orcles if not for the name length category. Too confusing and not consistent.

	RobPro:	Apr 17th, 2011 at 11:24 GMT	5 points
	Ok due to so much confusion, the Country by name length category has been replaced by 'Most bordered countries'.

	confused:	Apr 18th, 2011 at 01:50 GMT	1 point
	Replacing most bordered countries was great! But... (oh, cringe) Germany also has 9 borders, so should be mentioned with Brazil, DRC and Sudan. And - someone's gonna bring it up - since French Guiana is an integral part of France, you really have: China and Russia at 14 each, Brazil and France with 10 and Sudan, Germany and DRC at 9. I know, I know, some people are never happy... ;-)

	RobPro:	Apr 18th, 2011 at 10:37 GMT	2 points
	Crikey, that category slot is cursed by confusion. I blame your username haha! Thanks alot anyway :)

	ahh:	Apr 19th, 2011 at 16:23 GMT	1 point
	accept Chang jiang

	RobPro:	Apr 19th, 2011 at 19:04 GMT	1 point
	I added Changjiang for the Yangtze. Please in future if something needs changing, tell me which part.

	Bailey303:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 08:40 GMT	1 point
	I believe that the Missouri River is a little longer than the Mississippi.

Largest Water Bodies

	grendelsbayne:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 12:40 GMT	1 point
	You should really accept Denmark since it is the actual answer you're looking for. Even though it owes its place on the list entirely to the island of Greenland.

	Although often forgotten - Antarctica is the largest desert in the world (unless you make the distinction of "hot" deserts).

	RobPro:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 12:46 GMT	1 point
	^ Distinction is in instructions :)
