	Paramaribo is spelled incorrectly.

	Rocktober:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 23:37 GMT	1 point
	Fixed it

	bsd987:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 04:06 GMT	3 points
	There's no reason this needs to be guessed in order.

	gowhere:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 14:32 GMT	2 points
	Although I was able to get through it OK, it seems odd that you allow less time than the capitals quiz (20 minutes).

	balatjr:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 16:26 GMT	8 points
	I thought Birkirkara was the largest town in Malta, not Valletta.

	SomeoneRandom:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 16:31 GMT	-1 points
	A more appropriate source for this quiz would be citypopulation.de. On that website, it clearly shows that Milan is larger than Rome and Katowice is larger than Warsaw. Please fix the quiz.

	SomeoneRandom:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 16:33 GMT	-1 points
	I don't see why you chose to use cities proper and not metropolitan areas. The vast majority of population quizzes on Sporcle use metropolitan areas. It's a great idea, but (not meaning to repeat myself) the quiz needs to be fixed.

	cuendillar:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 21:56 GMT	3 points
	It seems you got several wrong here, where you inadvertantly used metro areas. I'm pretty sure New Taipei, Omdurman, Birkirkara, Quezon City and Chaguanas are the largest cities in their respective countries. I'm less certain about Lilongwe/Blantyre and Malabo/Bata but double-check those as well.

	Colmar:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 22:02 GMT	2 points
	Fiji is not a city-state and according to wikipedia, Suva has a 10,000+ population.

	superball:	Aug 2nd, 2011 at 08:08 GMT	2 points
	For Israel, Jerusalem's city proper population is larger than Tel Aviv's.

	1447:	Aug 3rd, 2011 at 16:10 GMT	3 points
	Just out of curiosity, why didn't you include capitals with less than 10,000 inhabitants? City states I can understand, but small capitals? Almost all of Oceania was left out, and there's a lot of fun in Oceania for this type of quiz. Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Fiji all have cities larger than their capital. Besides, you left out my favourite country Tuvalu. No one leaves out Tuvalu. You've made an enemy for life >:(

	Taradando:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 16:05 GMT	3 points
	You spelled Serrekunda wrong, and Birkirkara is the largest city in Malta.

	deej:	Mar 9th, 2012 at 13:31 GMT	1 point
	Your source does not list largest cities.
