	it now accepts both aarhus and arhus - both can be used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aarhus

	Maybe include the population and country (the latter once it's been guessed correctly).

	i tried to include the country but couldn't work out how to do it

	Finland isn't a part of Scanidinavia (only Sweden, Denmark and Norway are). You might want to either take out the Finnish cities or call it "Cities of the Nordic countries" and include Reykjavik as well.

	Shouldn't Espoo be on here? I thought it was generally recognised as Finland's second largest city.

	Finland indeed isn't a part of Scandinavia, and if you want to include it, please take note that Espoo and Vantaa are cities on their own - not just parts of Helsinki.

	Goteborg should be taken as an alternative spelling of Gothenburg. IIRC an official Sporcle quiz does.

	Is Iceland included as Scandinavia here? Mind you, Reykjavik is very small!

	Reykjavik would make in on this list quite easily. There's over 200,000 people living there and some of the Finnish ones here have barely a population of 100,000. But why would Iceland be included here? It's as far from Scandinavia as Egypt is (approx.). LOL Please, try to remember that Nordic Countries and Scandinavia have only three countries in common. And Finland - let alone Iceland - is not one of those three. It's not that hard...

	The only term you can use here that includes both Finland and Iceland and would still be considered accurate is Nordic countries. Since Norden (the Nordic Council) officially includes Iceland, you'd be safe with that. And I agree with others about separating Espoo and other metropolitan cities from Helsinki. You might also want to specify in a note whether you're looking for cities proper or for metropolitan areas, since each of the countries define "city" differently for demographic purposes, and it can dramatically alter rank and inclusion depending on which methodology you're using.

	Finland isn't part of Scandinavia, and please accept Å, Ä, Ö, Æ and Ø.

	Actually most of northern Finland is on the Scandinavian Peninsula

	DaneOfScandinavy:	Oct 30th, 2011 at 14:50 GMT	1 point
	However i think you should remove Finland...
