	1. its tucson, az. Please accept saint louis and saint paul. Suggestions: trenton, nj and ORLANDO, FL!!

	Loubert:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 02:07 GMT	6 points
	Tucson, not Tuscon. Also, you should provide a source.

	george707:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 02:09 GMT	4 points
	what is this based on? in some cases the largest city in the state is not a "major" city...

	homoerectus69:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 02:11 GMT	7 points
	what makes these the 101 major cities? also you spelled tucson wrong. as far as i can tell, this is a really stupid quiz

	homoerectus69:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 02:11 GMT	1 point
	also, im from ct, and bridgeport is a lot more "major" than hartford. there are probably others like that as well

	How does Alabama have more major cities than Pennsylvania?

	matthewcperkins:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 02:19 GMT	2 points
	how about albany, NY? it's only the capitol..... and virginia beach- it's the largest city in VA. and no cities from WV or MT?

	Terrible.

	This list seems rather random. Firstly, you need to decide whether or not you're including suburbs, as you included St. Petersburg, Gary, and Newark, but neglected Mesa, Arizona, which beats the largest of those three by almost 200,000 people. I really don't think that anyone considers Lubbock, Chattanooga, or Topeka major cities, just to name a few. Also, Virginia Beach has over 250,000 more people than Newport News, and they're both in the same metro area as Norfolk. Finally, as everyone else has said, you misspelled "Tucson."

	I don't know if you learned this in school (looking at this quiz I'd guess you only in 2nd or 3rd grade) but states and cities are things called proper nouns. They require capital letters. Ie Ohio and Pennsylvania.

	EAniag:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 03:15 GMT	1 point
	Is this just like a random list of cities that most people have heard of or something?

	Zephos:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 03:23 GMT	1 point
	If you're going to bother putting in Hartford, put in New Haven as well.

	carlospicywiener:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 03:31 GMT	2 points
	If you're going by population, Arlington, TX is bigger than Lubbock, Amarillo, Laredo and Corpus Christi! Cite your source. And also don't be a lazy sod and CAPITALIZE proper nouns!!

	Gjezman:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 05:44 GMT	2 points
	As if we dont have enough US Cities quizzes already and then this cra* comes along.

	johnlk:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 05:59 GMT	3 points
	The list is random, but I don't see how Bridgeport is "a lot more major" than Hartford. Bridgeport has a slightly higher population, but it's a decaying industrial city with nothing to recommend it. It has no major universities, no industries, no government, etc. There's not much of anything about Bridgeport to make it a city on the national level. Hartford and New Haven, despite having slightly smaller populations, are both clearly more important cities. Hartford is the home of the state government and of a variety of important companies; New Haven is, at least, home to one of the major universities in the country. Both are also much older and more historically important cities. But, that being said, this list is indeed random, and it's unclear what the basis for inclusion is. I will say that excluding pure suburbs like Mesa and Virginia Beach seems fine to me. Those have a lot of people, but are basically just suburbs, even if Virginia Beach has more inhabitant than the city (Norfolk) of which it is a suburb.

	WHERES ORLANDO?

	jaehak:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 11:12 GMT	5 points
	in defense of this quiz, it isn't that random, i kinda dug it. i missed Laredo and Newport News but got the rest. Virginia Beach should definitely replace NN, it is the dominant city of that region. it's obviously not going by population, it's going by cities people have heard of. Hartford is the right choice for CT, it's the city in CT that people who aren't New Englanders or geo nerds know. on the suburb argument - Long Beach, Gary, St. Pete, and Newark really aren't "suburbs" in the traditional sense, they grew up on their own and just happen to be near major cities. Mesa and Arlington are products of their metro area without their own identity, regardless of their population. that said - spell Tucson right and add Orlando.

	oxburger:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 14:47 GMT	1 point
	This is the worst quiz ive ever taken... you should be ashamed of yourself, as i am ashamed for actually continuing the quiz after Tucson was spelled incorrectly, Bridgeport was not the City for Connecticut and Orlando was not an answer, but Tallahassee was.

	ramblingator:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 18:33 GMT	0 points
	As has been said many times, no Orlando, but Tallahassee? Tally's not even the most important city in the panhandle. I would give that honor to Pensacola.

	North Carolin (missing an a)

	I'm guessing the jackass who created this quiz doesn't care about the comments, but he should, and if he doesn't...I probably wouldn't play anymore of his quizzes.

	grouchoatty:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 20:52 GMT	0 points
	Lubbock, Texas but not Orlando, Florida? New Haven and Bridgeport are bigger cities than Hartford. What is your criteria? Places that you've heard of.

	kontrolfreak66:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 19:17 GMT	1 point
	Ever heard of proper nouns?

	sharpdale:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 19:27 GMT	1 point
	Add me to the list of those asking: 1) based on what? 2) define 'major' 3) topeka? rockford? laredo? gary? long beach? norfolk? newport news? cheyenne? greensboro? lubbock? 4) and where are: albany? anaheim? fresno? bakersfield? pensacola? orlando? columbus, ga? charleston, sc? arlington, tx? santa fe?

	zifyoip:	Apr 18th, 2010 at 02:18 GMT	2 points
	I liked this quiz for some reason. I don't know exactly what your criteria are, and that's what people are complaining about in the comments, but most of the cities were fairly easy to guess. I imagine that these are the cities in bold type on some map of the United States—is that true? If so, you just need to state that in the note for the quiz, and most of these negative comments will disappear.

	If I can name all the California cities on here,something is definitely wrong with this quiz!

	jaybrad77:	Sep 28th, 2010 at 20:50 GMT	1 point
	this 1 is stupid
