	I don't care what source you have. If Statue of Liberty is below the Apple Store, then something is wrong.

	please spell sacre coeur and jefferson memorial correctly.

	professor_beavis:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 14:18 GMT		2 points
	mens: People who take pictures in the Tate Modern probably take more than a few. There is only so many angles of say Statue of Liberty that you can choose from. That's probably why the stats are what they are.

	katherangela:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 15:40 GMT		2 points
	you've spelled Leidseplein wrong. and you might consider accepting "De Waag" for Nieuwmarkt, since De Waag (the main building in the square) is almost certainly the focus of most of those pictures. bedankt!

	how is the apple store more photographed than the statue of liberty?

	rockinlipe:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 20:32 GMT		19 points
	Golden Gate is by far the most photographed in San Fran and how about the Statue of Liberty losing to the apple store, I think you have wrong information but you had a great idea

	magical_cola:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 21:31 GMT		6 points
	Westminster should be accepted with Big Ben as Big Ben is technically part of westminster... I was also surpised Buckingham Palace and the White House weren't on here.

	dank:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 21:32 GMT		1 point
	for san francisco, "public market" should be accepted for "market."

	Stewart:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 21:52 GMT		4 points
	Weird data. Besides the oddities of the Statue of Liberty and Golden Gate Bridge, already noted, there are five different basilicae in Rome (counting St. Peter's, which is part of the Vatican); it seems likely the tag 'basilica' is counting multiple landmarks. And is Frank Gehry himself really one of the most photographed landmarks in LA? This must refer to the concert hall.

	1. Disneyland is not in Los Angeles and the Vatican is not in Rome. 2. It's spelled Coliseum. 3. Why did "Lincoln" and "Jefferson" work for the Lincoln Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial, but "Washington" did not work for the Washington Monument? Be consistent. 4. Rockefeller is a last name. Perhaps you mean Rockefeller Center.

	funseeker:	Jun 5th, 2010 at 17:42 GMT		13 points
	Los Angeles: Disneyland is in Anaheim, not Los Angeles. The Santa Monica pier is in Santa Monica, not Los Angeles. Hollywood is a city, thus not in Los Angeles What do you mean by "Frank Gehry" - the person? If so, he's not a landmark. Rome: Vatican is a country/city and not in Rome. Basilica? Which one? Basilica means cathedral. I assume you mean St. Peter's Basilica, which is in the Vatican. Seattle: Did you mean Pike Place Market?

	I stopped when I typed Statue of Liberty and it wasn't there.

	TeganX7:	Jun 6th, 2010 at 04:20 GMT		5 points
	In Chicago: John Hancock (Building) needs to be accepted ("Big John" is its nickname). In London, I really think you need to accept (Palace of) Westminster, which is what the building is. And, seriously, the White House isn't in the top five in Washington? And more seriously, no one photographs the Golden Gate Bridge anymore?

	this is definitely wrong get a better source

	cyoungchs:	Jun 6th, 2010 at 19:39 GMT		3 points
	public market is actually pike's place public market... and the golden gate bridge I'm pretty sure should be in there as well

	Sears lost the naming rights to Willis Tower in 2003... in 2009, it was officially renamed. Not only should Willis Tower be accepted, it should be the actual answer, with Sears Tower as an alternate.

	Ibarez:	Jun 7th, 2010 at 04:18 GMT		5 points
	Okay, this quiz didn't work for me when I typed in "golden gate bridge" and nothing came up. And what tourist is going to visit New York City and not take a photo of the Statue of Liberty??

	Good idea, badly done ...

	jaehak:	Jun 7th, 2010 at 13:13 GMT		4 points
	i agree with all the complaints, but @ funseeker, Hollywood is absolutely part of LA and not it's own city.

	More people photograph the WW2 memorial than the white house?

	opendestiny:	Jun 8th, 2010 at 19:16 GMT		4 points
	1. Aneheim is not in LA, ergo Disneyland is not in LA. 2. The Vatican IS inside Rome, it just happens to be a separate country within the city. 3. I agree with everyone that's complained so far. I have been to 4 of the 5 European cities on here, and the best I did was 4/5 on London. I don't know why the Tate is photographed so much - @ Professor_beavis - you're not allowed to photograph INSIDE the Tate, so your argument does not make sense. The Tate Modern is Boooooring to look at, however it does give an excellent view of the city (the same view as the London Eye, actually) so maybe that is why there are so many tags for the Tate. Still. There is no way more people photograph the Tate Modern than Big Ben or Westminster. I'd like to know what Cathedral you're talking about in Barcelona as there are quite a few what with Spain is highly catholic... not to mention the Sagrada Familia is also a cathedral... This is a really great concept but the execution failed horribly.

	I agree that you should accept "the bean" for "cloud gate". Casa Mila is two words and also known as "La Pedrera". I think you must mean the "Cathedral of Barcelona". Otherwise, interesting quiz.

	ferry building more than the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE? you suck

	r0wly:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 13:02 GMT		1 point
	big ben is the bell, I think more than likely you mean Westminster Tower which is the clock tower with big ben inside. Though Westminster Palace which is the whole place of house of commons and house of lords and westminster tower is probably whats been photographed so much

	In Seattle our "public market" is called the "Pike Place Market." Very well known locally.

	ben888:	Jul 25th, 2011 at 10:48 GMT		1 point
	I think many of you are being unfairly harsh on the quiz creator. It is not a quiz on the most famous landmarks; it clearly says 'Most photographed.. in 60 million Flickr.com pictures' which is different. There is clear link to the source. If you don't agree with the research paper methodology, then you should write to the authors of the paper, not say that this quiz is wrong. It is a standard quiz and worth 3 globes.

	If you read the paper, you should understand why the Statue of Liberty ranks below the Apple Store. The figures are based on distinct photographers in a 100m area, not the total number of photographs taken of a landmark. The footfall around Fifth Avenue is much higher than around Liberty Island, and therefore 1000 people taking one photo each of the Apple Store will rank ten times higher than 100 tourists taking 50 photos each of the Statue of Liberty, which is often the case.
