Ok, that's really hard. You could ease off on the spelling. After some of these quizzes I scroll through and think, "ugh, I knew that one!!!" But there were several cities on here I have never even heard of, and not getting a some of the ones I knew over spelling was really frustrating (Thessalonika, Thesselonika, Thesselonia- It's all Greek to me)

"Grand Dakar" is the second-largest city in Senegal? I thought it was just a commune of Dakar. Usually, Touba is cited as the second-largest city.

Yokohama is usually counted within the Greater Tokyo area, which goes against the description. Same with Manila, if I'm correct in assuming the biggest one cited is Quezon City

So, lots of problems.

Azerbajan = Azerbaijan

Cote d'Ivore = Cote d'Ivoire or, better yet, Ivory Coast

Hungary is missing

Trinidad and Tobago is missing

Kuwait is missing or needs a placeholder

Monaco, Singapore, and Vatican City should have a placeholder

Macedonia is now North Macedonia

Swaziland is now Eswatini

You have border and background color inconsistency on Albania, "Azerbajan", and Algeria.

Actually, Hungary is a city state so it's not missing.

This could be a good quiz if there weren't so many errors. In addition to basic typos, etc, people have already pointed out that it's totally inconsistent in applying the rule of the second biggest city needing to be in a new urban area.

Plus, this is basically a textbook example of when not to use Wikipedia. Wikipedia is about explaining things within their own individual contexts. To make a functional quiz, you need to have a consistent context throughout the whole quiz. Otherwise you get Leeds as the second largest British "city" because you're chopping up the UK by its boroughs, but Marseille as the second largest French city because you *aren't* chopping up France by its arrondissements.
