	Should Edward Bruce not be Scotland? I think he was Robert the bruces brother

	markcoen:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 14:05 GMT	0 points
	If Wikipedia is to be trusted, Edward Bruce was king of Ireland even though he was Scottish.

	the_hmh_project:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 15:50 GMT	2 points
	@iainmc86 and markcoen You're both absolutely right, Edward Bruce was Robert I of Scotland's younger brother, he was proclaimed High King of Ireland and ruled there until 1318 where he was killed in battle. Very interesting, but since this is one of those 'at a glance' quizzes with a short time limit, I have changed Edward Bruce to a more familiar ruler, the current president of Ireland.

	Both Scotland and England have had a James I (England's one was in fact also James VI of Scotland). I can see why you went with England for Harry Potter (filmed there and mostly English actors) but I think it's a bit tenuous since there are some Irish and Scottish actors and Hogwarts is set in Scotland. Good quiz nonetheless!

	@Yoon: Whichever James I you're talking about, they both came from Scotland so I think the quiz is right the way it is.

	the anthem of ireland should be 'amhran na bhfiann'

	calante:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 05:01 GMT	3 points
	Yes, James I and VI was born in Scotland, but when he is called James I it refers to his position as the king of England, not of Scotland. So if you want him to be linked with Scotland here, you would be more correct to call him James VI or James I/VI.

	the_hmh_project:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 13:47 GMT	0 points
	@Yoon Psyk and calante; absolutely right, and duly noted James I is Scottish, but obviously England had a James I as well. I'll change it now.

	ButtercupSausage:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 11:28 GMT	4 points
	Plenty of ambiguity here. James I of England was Scottish and James VI of Scotland. God Save the King/Queen is the national anthem of the UK - all of Scotland, Wales and England with a bit of Ireland - so a bit strange. Harry Potter was written by an English woman in Scotland and the film was filmed in both England and Scotland. St Giles's is also the main cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, so can be very confusing.

	the_hmh_project:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 13:54 GMT	-3 points
	@ButtercupSausage. That's being very pedantic, especially since I have already adressed most of these issues. The director of the film 'Harry Potter' was actually English, as was the author of the novel it was based on and a good proportion of the locations it was filmed on, so it makes it English in my view. The composer of 'God Save the Queen' was English and since England does not have a national anthem besides it; whereas Wales, Ireland and Scotland do it makes it the only choice. James I is Scottish either way and I HAVE ALREADY ADRESSED THIS BY PUTTING DOWN JAMES I/VI so stop telling me! I will change the St Giles one though. In the meantime could you read the comments before you start ranting at my quiz! Ruddy trolls...

	@irish_guy: I am very aware of this fact, and well done for being the first to bring this up. As I can understand (soley from the name) that this particular quiz may be subject to either some confusion or brief outbursts of angry national pride I will clarify here: in most instances the places, people and things referred to in this quiz are Irish, but some are Northern Irish. Kl? Ok. Have played and enjoyed your quizzes. BTW can I recommend installing StickyKeys? Just a thought...

was an OK quiz worthy of a 3 or 4 until you started getting all stroppy in the comments so down to 2.

	Fish1987:	Sep 26th, 2010 at 23:29 GMT	4 points
	Holyhead isn't a city, and you can't really say that the Prince of Wales is a Welsh monarchic position, it's just a title given to the reiging monarch's oldest son.

	Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone was filmed in both Scotland and England. Certainly most of the outside stuff was here in Lochaber where I'm from, a lot of the extras are from here, Hogwarts station is Glenfinnan for example. It was also written in Scotland by an English author, Harry himself is English, Hogwarts is obviously Scotland, though I believe its never specified.

	too little time, but bit of a worthless quiz - if you don't get it first time, you just say the other three! i enjoyed it though

	St George wasn't from England was he though, Wikipedia says he is Israeli.

	St George is still the patron saint of England

	Good quiz, but a little too much time, I got about 8 or 9 from just typing all four names out until got the right one.

	tulliuscicero:	May 11th, 2011 at 20:11 GMT	2 points
	James I was king of England. If you're going to include the English name, accept England.

	The Irish symbol is usually known as the shamrock. It is a variety of clover, but I feel you risk Irish ire by not using the more well-known name. I'm surprised no-one's picked it up before...not many Irish eyes on this quiz? (I'm mixed English/Welsh)

	phildavies:	Jan 21st, 2012 at 22:35 GMT	1 point
	nice to see my homeland (Wales) to get some mentions in a quiz

	barackattack:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 15:57 GMT	1 point
	Does the quiz maker realise that Norther Ireland and Republic of Ireland are two different countries? U2 and McAleese are not from the same country as Belfast or the Giant's Causeway.

	the_hmh_project:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 16:24 GMT	1 point
	@barackattack - Yes, yes I do. This was made in one of those 'Hey, let's see if I can be an editor's pick without doing any research' moods, by my naive 14 year-old self. Looking back... maybe it warrants some editing? Removing all the Northern Irelandic things, and leaving only the Irish-Irish items.

	barackattack:	Apr 24th, 2012 at 00:41 GMT	1 point
	Personally, I'd say remove the Republic of Ireland things and leave the Northern ones (seeing as that way it's a quiz of the UK countries, rather than 3 UK countries + Ireland). Or maybe just distinguish between which Ireland the answers go with.
