	This is a good quiz, but several things need to be fixed. First, you should accept the traditional English spelling for the Italian cities (e.g., "Milan" for Milano, "Turin" for Torino, etc.). You should also accept "Thessaloniki" without the accent marks. "Ghent" should also be acceptable for Gent in Belgium. Finally, I'm pretty sure Manchester is bigger than Glasgow, Liverpool and Leeds -- from what source did you get your information?

	Also accept odessa for odesa.

	Similarly, accept Ghent as an alternative to Gent.

	And Phoenix is now bigger than Philadelphia - unless you are doing metro areas.

	accept Turin, Milan, and Odessa

	MikeN:	Jul 7th, 2010 at 19:33 GMT	5 points
	mumbai/bombay, kolkata/calcutta, madras/chennai are equivalent names.

	Another unnecessary and poorly executed switchfootgirl quiz. Seriously. And dear, if you actually know the five largest cities in Saint Kitts and Nevis, then you're either a resident or you have too much time on your hands. Please do not spend this time making Sporcle quizzes. Thank you.

	It's a bit weird how you insist on accepting authentic spellings but for some reason stick with Calcutta. If you want to do the quiz like this maybe put in a hint explaining? I pretty much gave up when I got to Italy and it wouldn't accept Naples. Also while you're at it maybe you should only accept Japanese characters for Japan...

	I agree with all the suggestions above. If a person is into geography enough to know about the existence of a city like, say, Thessaloniki, then you should reward them by putting it down as an alternative answer, and then showing the native spelling as the main answer.

	Plus, you didn't require the Italian spelling (Roma) for Rome.

	wolofsky:	Jul 8th, 2010 at 03:03 GMT	7 points
	it was a feeble attempt by a pseudo-intellectual elitist. Obnoxious, actually. You deliberately used the native spelling only in certain places but not in others. I'm surprised you accepted Montreal without the accented "e". Do us a favour, stop wasting our time with your inane, infantile quizzes.

	@MIke N Madras and Chennai are not equivalent names. They are both used for different purposes. Madras is used for governmental purposes while Chennai is used for casual purposes. I'm, in fact, in Chennai right now and I can hear people saying Chennai outside my window.

	sedriskell:	Jul 8th, 2010 at 03:32 GMT	5 points
	yea, it's kinda ridiculous that you accept Rome, but not Milan, Naples, or Turin... Roma is the Italian word for Rome, yet Rome is the official answer.

	Rooster:	Jul 8th, 2010 at 17:28 GMT	5 points
	This is inconsistent. Oh and it sucks.

	mustro:	Jul 8th, 2010 at 19:38 GMT	3 points
	Also the city in New Zealand is Manukau, not Manakau. i should know, I live there.

	Oleks:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 08:30 GMT	2 points
	You should specify METROPOLITAN populations for some of these areas. In Canada, for example, Edmonton has a pop of almost 750K, while the actual city of Vancouver has less than 600K residents.

	I like that it is metro populations (although you should specify that it is). Great idea for a quiz, but horrible execution. I could have had Thessaloniki, Turin, Seville, Odessa, & Liege had the English spelling of each be accepted. Other countries with big cities such as Brazil, China, or Germany might have been better fits than St. Kitts & Nevis & Estonia. Please make the English spellings acceptable. Nobody will give this quiz a good rating if you don't...

	accept Odessa with two s's, that is the standard spelling, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odessa

	afen:	May 12th, 2011 at 20:38 GMT	1 point
	Bad. Just Bad.
