Not sure how this quiz qualifies as "the americas" or "north and south america", given that no questions pertain to Mexico or anywhere else in Latin America.
That can be said about most of the "americas geography" quizzes... but not for this one. As for the european one, the letter W is almost not used in latin languages thus it would be difficult to have many questions about latin america...
Or, you know, there aren't many places in Latin America that even have a W in them because the letter isn't really used in Spanish and Portuguese. But no, it's much easier to just insult the quiz maker.
When does a town become a city?? Windsor, the "Canadian town" across from Detroit, is three times the size of Wilmington, the "Largest city in Delaware." According to Wiki, Windsor has a population of 216,470; Wilmington 71,525
The officials (or whoever deals with such matters) decide when a town becomes a city. It's done pretty arbitrarily, there are no certain criteria in most cases. If there are, they're only limited to one country or state. In my first language they're both called "linn" so I don't even bother with that.
Chicago Chicago, that toddlin' town. Chicago, My Kind of Town (2 different songs) Now I'm positive you know that "town" is colloquially used to mean township, city, settlement, burg, village, hamlet, borough, locality....
Very few languages other than English, German and Polish use the letter W. You seem to ignore the rest of the Anglosphere, German-speaking countries and Poland (and some smaller regions). As W is rarely used in Romanic languages, I expected questions about only the USA and Canada.
Most of these have already been mentioned by other commenters, but right away there's Willemstad, the Wiphala, the West Indies, and the Windward Antilles, just to name a few. It would have been easy to make this quiz more diversified; I'm not sure why Quizmaster chose not to.
I wish everyone would stop complaining. There's no W in the Spanish alphabet. The only time a W is seen is if it is a transliteration (wafles, washingtonianas, wasabi, web, WIFI, etc.).
Not every country south of the US speaks Spanish. Many places in the Caribbean, as well as Guyana, Suriname, French Guinea, Belize, and if you would like, the Falkland Islands. Also to note - Brazil speaks Portuguese. There are quite a few options from Guyana and Suriname that could work as a question in this quiz. They would not be well known answers, but they would be something to learn and would at least represent South America.
Not to mention the many Indigenous languages spoken in the region, like Quechua or Aymara. At least one other commenter has already pointed out that Wiphala would be a good answer to include.
Suggested 'W' answers incorporating more of the Americas: "In which hemisphere are the Americas located?" (Western Hemisphere) "Collective term for the Greater and Lesser Antilles and the Lucayan Archipelago?" (West Indies) "Multicolored square flag representing the native peoples of the Andes?" (Wiphala) "Climatic region of the Andes running from 35°S to Cape Horn?" (Wet Andes) It's tricky to think up W answers for the rest of the Americas, but it's not impossible. At the moment this quiz exclusively relates to just a part of one of the two continents it purports to be about.
But you just said the truth that we all know: Virtually nobody on this site has heard of these places and virtually nobody, without cheating, would get these right.
That's why these obscure things aren't included in these quizzes, because at the end of the day nobody wants a bunch of obscure crap that only 1% of test takers have heard of clogging up the quizzes.
You know these things and places that most have never heard of? Great, good for you. (Not you personally lol) But these quizzes would get REALLY boring, really fast and all to cater to a few whiners who can't just move on and find the MULTITUDES of non-American focused quizzes on this site.
To placate the whiners, you could have a question involving Puerto ____ (Williams). Puerto Williams is by some measure the southernmost city in the Americas.
Wakenaam Island, Guyana.
Wesley, Dominica.
Willikies, Antigua and Barbuda.
Wesley Will, British Virgin Islands.
These would probably not be guessed, but at least you would include "The Americas"
