This isn't a list of European cities per sea as 20 European nations are not members of the EU. Moscow is the largest European city, for example, but Russia is not an EU member.

	it is nuremberg, duisburg and timisoara

	scgal:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 15:54 GMT	1 point
	What is your source?

	Shay:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 15:56 GMT	5 points
	Also 'Kanuas' should be 'Kaunas'

	bart122333:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 15:57 GMT	3 points
	A lot of spelling mistakes!

	NJScouser:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 16:08 GMT	8 points
	Accept just Cluj.

	Eurnix:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 17:10 GMT	1 point
	Please adjust your answers using the criticism mentioned above. Thank you.

	I did

	A_is_for_Addict:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 18:05 GMT	2 points
	You've still not corrected Kaunas.

	Andiyan:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 19:10 GMT	1 point
	It should be Bydgoszcz. Nurnberg should be ok too.

	yellowcarpet:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 19:25 GMT	1 point
	Supposed to Kaunas.

	nice quiz

	Onno:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 20:50 GMT	2 points
	I thought I could spell Szczecin, but I somehow thought it had another c. Anyway I can now... Another alternative: Arhus.

	dav_uz:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 14:30 GMT	6 points
	Is Bradford really bigger than Manchester?? The Mancs'll love that! As a Leeds boy that's pretty funny...

	geowiz85:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 15:53 GMT	0 points
	ive seen hanover spelled like that, otherwise good quiz

	shakirafan:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 16:59 GMT	5 points
	Black type on blue background REALLY, REALLY hard to read! Otherwise, I liked it!

	micah:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 17:26 GMT	3 points
	I agree with shakirafan. Change the colors in the third column, otherwise this is a good quiz.

	Pit_trout:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 18:53 GMT	4 points
	Very interesting quiz! Lots more from Spain than I would have guessed. Like Geowiz says, Hanover is a common English spelling (German Wikipedia's first listing for Hanover is "die englische Schreibweise der deutschen Stadt Hannover"). Also a few of the Polish towns (and possibly some other nationalities too) should probably have accents in the answers, eg Łódź - of course the non-accented versions are fine to accept, but it might be nice to have the accented versions displayed (when there isn't a standard English name, of course).

	abanazerb:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 19:19 GMT	1 point
	Nice quiz. Possibly a couple of extra minutes would have been useful. I agree about that third column!

	g125:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 21:24 GMT	5 points
	i don't think this is correct. wakefield cannot be one of the largest cities in europe let alone uk. i reckon it's a dodgy source..

	Roman:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 22:50 GMT	1 point
	Europa is europa

	joebobs:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 00:44 GMT	2 points
	You know sometimes an answer is so obvious you think you've already written it? I missed Paris!!!

	EasilyConfused:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 12:30 GMT	2 points
	Perhaps Salonika could be an alternate spelling for Thessaloniki. That's how it is usually spelled in English (in my experience anyway).

	Williams27:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 14:56 GMT	2 points
	@Fiorentina: I'm not Polish and I got Szczecin first time. Since there aren't too many Germans there anymore I'm very happy to embrace the fantastic Polish spelling!

	Pistol:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 15:29 GMT	3 points
	The urban settlement of Wakefield only has population of 72,000. However the City of Wakefield is an administrative district with a population of 300-odd thousand, and encompasses other distinct towns. Some sources confuse the two - and in this case, Wikipedia has, and it shouldn't feature on this list.

	Anderson:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 20:03 GMT	1 point
	Katowice features in Sporcle's 25 most populous European cities. According to Wikipedia it has a population of 2.7 million.

	Roman:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 20:26 GMT	1 point
	That perhaps is the metro area not the city itself

	deej:	Jan 22nd, 2010 at 04:54 GMT	2 points
	Change. The. Colors.

	CooCooCachoo:	Jan 22nd, 2010 at 11:15 GMT	1 point
	Great game :) Thanks.

	Tarabas:	Jan 22nd, 2010 at 12:11 GMT	1 point
	"Cluj" and "Bucarest" should be accepted

Comment below threshold: show it

	hessencrew:	Jan 22nd, 2010 at 13:38 GMT	0 points
	Oh, I see, European Union ;) My bad. Still, Paris is bigger.

	Roman:	Jan 22nd, 2010 at 16:14 GMT	1 point
	Heseencrew the metro area has 9 million people which is larger then London's metro area. Remember on Sporcle it's 25 largest metro areas in Europe, not cities proper Next, Moscow is the largest city in Europe but Russia is not an Eu member. Istanbul is number 2 but again Turkey is not an EU member. I now accepted Cluj and the Romanian version of Bucharest, Bucaresti

	Sinistercharlo:	Jan 22nd, 2010 at 19:32 GMT	1 point
	I should have typed Aarhus!!! Aarggh! I didn't think that would be on there. Good quiz, I'm pleased with how well I managed to do. I've heard of a lot of these cities but it's hard to tease them out of your brain. :)

	hilco:	Jan 23rd, 2010 at 00:50 GMT	1 point
	I keep forgetting one or two of the Polish cities.

	Merijn:	Jan 23rd, 2010 at 10:30 GMT	1 point
	Hm, strange that your source list 102 cities, with at position 100 Timişoara and at position 101 Constanţa. Apperently, you forgot one. You should make it a list of 100 cities or (better) you should complete the list with the city at position 102 (Utrecht, Netherlands). In the last case, you get a list of the cities with a population over 300.000.

	AtomicIce:	Jan 23rd, 2010 at 14:55 GMT	1 point
	Agree with many of the comments already made-- please accept Arhus and Nurnberg-- I have multiple atlases with them spelled that way. Also, it does seem like Wakefield is a metro area, whereas the others are not. Lastly, the last column is so hard to read, I didn't even realize anything was written there when I first played-- which made things considerably more challenging! ;)

	thisisaname:	Jan 24th, 2010 at 18:06 GMT	2 points
	You should really accept the native spellings of the cities.

	bret99954:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 19:00 GMT	1 point
	Paris is third in all of Europe though.

	skreepers:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 01:06 GMT	1 point
	ahh Belfast must nearly make this quiz...no?
