	His name was Goebbels, but you should remove such a ... from this quiz!

	Terrible quiz. Spelling wrong. Questions vague. Needs work.

	The patron of the Renaissance- the question is a little vague, and the more common spelling (and the correct one, I think) is Lorenzo de' Medici, with or without the apostrophe. It might also be helpful to accept Lorenzo the Magnificent and Lorenzo il Magnifico, as they are fairly common names by which he was known. Similarly, William of Normandy is also well-known as William the Conqueror, and also William I and even William the Bastard might be helpful additions :)

	Catherine the Great should work. This quiz is kind of pleasantly random, if intermittently inaccurate (Attucks was killed in the Boston Massacre which occurred five years before the beginning of the war, for instance)

	John McClane??? A History quiz with a fictional character from the Die Hard movies? Disappointing....

	charles de gaulle was actually leader of the free french forces, not the same as the french resistance

	I was almost okay with the spelling errors and the limited acceptance of correct answers incorrectly phrased (after all, I knew that I had the right answer, but couldn't figure out how to get it in there), but when I saw Bruce Willis included, I just gave up.

	should accepy William the Conquerer or King William I for William of Normandy because thats what he was better known as.

	moronic.

	Ok, where to begin? Regnal numbers should use Roman numerals not Arabic - IE Nicholas II and Louis XIV not Nicholas 2 and Louis 14; Pol Pot and Josef Goebbels should be capitalised; accept other versions of William of Normandy - William I, William the Conqueror etc; accept Shaka as he was mainly just known by that; finally, what is a fictional character doing on a historical quiz?
