	You should check your source, as Lyon is not that populated. The figure corresponds to the urban community of Lyon. The same holds for London, Brussels... check the footnotes on your wikipedia page. Also Marseille is spelled without an "s" in french, I suggest you make that an available answer.

	cysion:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 16:54 GMT	1 point
	Marseilles should be Marseille and Nuremberg should be Nurnberg. Otherwise cool quiz :) (I'm aware that these are the spellings sometimes used in English, but the native names are used in all other quizzes so far)

	peanut4:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 16:58 GMT	2 points
	I've made a couple of tweaks to the spellings. Let me know if there any more I've missed. Sorry about the source, pienet - I've simply used the Eurostat Populations from 2004.

	kittycat:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 17:12 GMT	3 points
	@pienet, do you mean that the Lyon/London/Brussels figures are too high by this estimation? I don't know about the other two, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case for London.

	rhebus:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 17:34 GMT	2 points
	you should accept "seville" for sevilla...

	Onno:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 17:59 GMT	3 points
	Good quiz, fun to do because you don't have to worry about obscure Ukraine/Russia cities. If you're going to accept native spellings, Göteborg is an option too. That's what I tried too, I didn't know it had an English spelling.

	Good old Wakey. Take THAT Szczecin!

	Wales:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:53 GMT	0 points
	Koln should be accepted for Cologne Den Hague should be accepted for The Hague really good quiz otherwise

	Sesel:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 19:57 GMT	2 points
	Why doesn't "Goteborg" count for Gothenburg?

	D3nn1s:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:08 GMT	6 points
	Den Hague? It's either The Hague (English) or Den Haag (Dutch)

	marsco:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 20:14 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz, but you should check the population data. Cologne has by now more than 1 million inhabitants.

	Makes me smile to see Liverpool just ahead of Manchester =) Great quiz.

	aeihdahm:	Oct 22nd, 2009 at 12:03 GMT	2 points
	surely you could accept zcszcsczx for the Polish ones :P I actually tried to spell Szczcein and Bydgozcz as i know they are big Polish cities but couldnt and still cant spell the bloody things!

	angularity:	Oct 24th, 2009 at 13:50 GMT	4 points
	Interesting quiz. A nice challenge with the stripping out of "urban areas" down to the core cities. Some surprises there.

	Chase:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 21:32 GMT	3 points
	You should also accept "Salonica" for "Thessaloniki"

	borisyegerov:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 14:43 GMT	3 points
	what do the * mean?

	flixuk:	Dec 24th, 2009 at 11:27 GMT	1 point
	@cysion: the English spellings are 'Nuremburg' and 'Marseilles.' Otherwise we'll have to start changing to 'München' and 'København.'

	rjm28:	Dec 24th, 2009 at 19:01 GMT	1 point
	Accept 'Munchen.'

	LaviniaB:	Dec 25th, 2009 at 01:43 GMT	0 points
	I suggest you do your research on Romanian cities as there are loads more than just Bucharest. And they are easy to spell as well so all you need is a bit of goodwill.

	Stewart:	Jan 7th, 2010 at 00:18 GMT	1 point
	The quiz no longer matches up with the wikipedia page given as the source. Looks like there have been changes to that page since the quiz was made. Lyon, for instance, has been dropped from 14th to 57th, and other French cities (like Grenoble and Rouen) are no longer listed. Cardiff and Cordoba are now in the top 100.

	cuendillar:	Mar 26th, 2010 at 07:13 GMT	1 point
	Note to self: It's not spelled "Hangover".

	Copycat...

	this list is questionable. some of them refer to the metro area (all the german cities) of a city and some only to the central municipality. Thessaloniki has some 1.2 million population, the 386.000 refer only to the main municipality of central thessaloniki. I m quite sure that the city of athens has 3 times the population which is listed up.

	jdm7:	Jan 10th, 2011 at 16:22 GMT	1 point
	plus, ti nice to see the city i was born and raised up (bielefeld, germany) on the list. again the 328.000 on that table refer to the metro area of bielefeld.

	Ireland:	Apr 8th, 2011 at 15:20 GMT	2 points
	Tis hard to remember all those German cities!

	Statto2:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 14:37 GMT	1 point
	I have been to or through 29 of these - 30 if you count changing planes at Stockholm airport. Some of these figures are a little odd, Athens, for instance, seems far too low. The London figure is probably metro area, although the figure for Greater London is not far off that. The metro area figure for Paris is I think higher than London's.

	Hanover is the English name for the city called Hannover in German.

	inomu:	Nov 3rd, 2011 at 22:26 GMT	1 point
	Your quiz doesn't match the source in anyways. I think that's a big problem...

	Lakerall:	Jan 5th, 2012 at 08:44 GMT	1 point
	Ahah! Nantes is ranked 44! and that's its post code! life... sometimes...
