Note: I haven't included Kosovo as I can't find the data for it. Haven't included Kazakhstan as, well, only a tiny bit is in Europe. ALL cities in the likes of Russia/Turkey are applicable.

	Ireland? Source? Some results seem quite weird, like Belarus' ones.

	finnoztoffee:	Nov 5th, 2012 at 20:52 GMT		0 points
	Got to accept Reykjavik with a common "i"

	brusma:	Nov 5th, 2012 at 20:56 GMT		1 point
	thx for feedback, sorting issues now. source is national surveys and censuses accessed via links on wikipedia (i know, i know). far as i can TELL, belarus is accurate but i'm happy to be pointed to a more reliable, most recent one. ireland is a copy/paste fail on my part

	Alexos87:	Nov 5th, 2012 at 22:26 GMT		1 point
	This is a good quiz idea but I don't think the source you've used is accurate. If you use http://www.citypopulation.de/Belarus.html#Stadt_gross you can see that Belarus, as mentioned, is wrong. Brussels is way out too. I really would double check using citypopulation.de for all the countries and work from there.

	LacsiraxAriscal:	Nov 5th, 2012 at 23:19 GMT		5 points
	It's Gyumri, not Gyurmi. Maybe accept just "Luxembourg" for Luxembourg City as well?

	cantthinkofaname:	Nov 6th, 2012 at 03:45 GMT		1 point
	How do we get Hafnarfjörður? And maybe take out Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia since they aren't technically in Europe by sporcle standards and it would make fewer rows to scroll through.

	magareto:	Nov 6th, 2012 at 04:48 GMT		1 point
	Nice idea for a quiz! As already poined out, Belarus is wrong though - you are listing only cities in the Minsk rayon. If you scroll down a bit further in the wikipedia list, you will find much bigger cities in other provinces. Brest, Gomel/Homyel, Grodno/Hrodna should all be on this list. Also, you should make a remark that you are not restricting Russia and Turkey to their respective European parts.

	magareto:	Nov 6th, 2012 at 04:52 GMT		1 point
	And if you want to include Kosovo as well, you could use the data from the Italian wikipedia - it's from 2002, but the ranking should still be the same: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citt%C3%A0_del_Kosovo

	cuendillar:	Nov 6th, 2012 at 06:28 GMT		1 point
	The problem with Belarus you've got here is that wikipedia list the cities by region - you've accidentally excluded any cities not in Minsk Region...

	Mountleek:	Nov 6th, 2012 at 08:52 GMT		1 point
	This quiz is great, but some results seem quite weird, as Trajan says. As of Belarus, magareto already explained. Also, accept just Luxembourg. Accept Geneve. And it's Gyumri, as LacsiraxAriscal says. For the Brussels, I would take the figure of the whole Brussels Region, but it's up to you.

	brusma:	Nov 6th, 2012 at 11:49 GMT		2 points
	Thanks for the feedback! Trying to implement changes as I go, will compare with citypopulation.de when i get home, there are a few differences with wikipedia definitely. hopefully all the stupid errors are gone now!

	Mountleek:	Nov 6th, 2012 at 11:53 GMT		1 point
	1. For Albania, please accept "Durrësi", "Vlora", "Elbasani" and "Shkodra". The third Albanian city is "Vlorë". 2. I don't mind including countries of Western Asia, such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Cyprus and Turkey, because they can be considered a broader Europe. 3. For Azerbaijan, please accept "Baki" for Bakı, "Gence" for Gəncə, "Mingecevir" for Mingəçevir and "Xirdalan" for Xırdalan. You already accept "Sumqayit" for Sumqayıt. 4. For Belgium, please accept "Bruxelles" (the French name) and "Brussel" (the Dutch name) for "Brussels" (the English name). The "List of Belgian cities by population" on the Dutch Wikipedia shows Brussels in the first place - this basically means that the whole Brussels Region can be considered a single city. Also accept "Antwerpen". The city after Charleroi is "Liège". 4. The fourth Czech city is "Plzeň".

	Thanks all!

	hmm. i'm still going round in circles with Brussels. I've now got he -region- as the population up there, which is a plain wrong measurement but looks the most right. the actual city is 163,210, which -looks- wrong, mainly because that means essentially suburbs like Anderlecht are also cities in their own right. which they're not. YET if you use the metro areas then Antwerp has nearly a million and even Charleroi is pushing 500,000, which is equally stupid. can we just call the whole thing off with Belgium? and no-one will nag me any more about it? please?

	Mountleek:	Nov 7th, 2012 at 10:13 GMT		1 point
	OK, let's stop nagging, sorry :) You're right, it's difficult to compare cities. The best thing is to compare urban/metropolitan areas, but the problem is that in every country there are different standards, that's why we most often compare municipal figures. And the last note about Brussels: According to Wikipedia: Brussels City 163,000; Brussels Region 1,119,000; Brussels Metro 1,830,000. And I withdraw my suggestion to accept "Brussel" - I realized that it's going to be annoying for most users when they enter "Brussels" and every time they'll have to delete the extra "s".

	Mountleek:	Nov 7th, 2012 at 10:15 GMT		1 point
	Oh, and keep making your quizzes, you have made so many of them and I really enjoy them :)
