	Can you change the font color of correct answers? Dark red for correct answers and lighter red for incorrect makes it a bit irritating to look at.

	Could you identify the relevance of Ireland as a bonus answer please.

	david6k:	May 16th, 2011 at 17:02 GMT		4 points
	@Laura - it's for the Provisional IRA, which did not carry out actions in the country of Ireland nor was it opposed to the Irish government, but rather in N. Ireland against the British. So Ireland isn't a correct answer for that one.

	I can't tell you how much time I spent guessing Muslim countries for the Islamic International Peacekeeping Brigade and then I find out the answer is Russia.

	ELPF should be EPLF -- Eritrean People's Liberation Front.

	I don't see how you can have a quiz on revolutionary activity that doesn't include the Bolsheviks, over throwing the Tsars in one of the most famous revolutions of recent time.

	"I don't see how you can have a quiz on revolutionary activity that doesn't include the Bolsheviks." ... Well, try looking at the top of this page at the quiz you'll find there, and you'll see how. It's quite easy, really.

	@America: FARC stands for Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia. Sometimes in the game the acronyms are explained / translated, sometimes they aren't. Probably "FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of [country])" could have been more complete in this case. The same for "Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path)". Of course players would have known that the answer is a Spanish-speaking country, but still there are a lot of them.

	The Partisans one was somewhat misleading, as there were Partisans in most of the occupied Nazi Germany countries during WWII.

	@_Elcrops_ : The Tsars were overthrown in the February Revolution. The Bolsheviks did not take power until the October Revolution.

	_Elcrops_:	May 16th, 2011 at 19:50 GMT		0 points
	@raydante: Yes but that doesn't change the fact that the February Revolution came about because of the Bolsheviks. And the Provisional government was largley dominated by the Bolsheviks anyway.

	@Blowfish_hootie - the groups in this quiz tend to be paramilitary in nature. I don't thibk such a term can be used to describe the Bolsheviks.

	S.L.M./A. should be S.P.L.M./A.: Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army. S.L.A. stands for Symbionese Liberation Army, an aspiring leftist rebel group in the United States.

	Dates about ETA are a bit off. ETA was founded on 1958 and its first action was three years later, 1961. Also, although there is a permanent truce by ETA since some months ago and there are some inspiring political movements towards real truce and the end of any violent action, I think that stating that ETA ends in 2010 is a bit misleading.

	TJL:	May 17th, 2011 at 04:34 GMT		0 points
	Several qualms with this quiz. 1) Of all the revolutionary movements in Russia, it chose the most obscure. 2) Jokes about the Judean People's Front aside, there really should be something from Israel. (PLO, Haganah, etc.) 3) Ireland should be a full answer for the Provisional IRA, since they engaged in terrorist activity in the Republic of Ireland (notably the Mountjoy Prison Escape), and sought the abolition of both the British Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. 4) As someone pointed out earlier, the Lord's Resistance Army is still around. 5) The full names should be used for all the groups
