Denali is the official name for the mountain in Alaska, highest in North America.

Yeah, 'Denali' seems like it should be accepted as an answer since it's still the everyday name of the mountain. Politics aside, shouldn't the standard name of a mountain should count as a correct answer?

Now that Mt. McKinley has been officially renamed Denali, it should be removed from the list

Oh snap! Guess it didn't need to "be removed from the list" after all.

the Mojave desert is also in Nevada (including Las Vegas), and to a lesser extent in Arizona and Utah

"The U.S. only state that borders just one other state" = "The only U.S. state that borders just one other state" (Of course, you could just remove "U.S." since that goes without saying.

Why was McKinley added back? I know technically its federally designated as that now due to the current US admin but it seems in bad taste as it is Denali to most local Alaskans

It's the official name according to the US government. We changed the answer to Denali in 2015 when the US government changed the name. Now we changed it back.

And, no, we're not going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico as that's an international body of water.

We're trying our best to keep politics out of JetPunk! Comments will be deleted if necessary.

Why change the question at all then? if the name is disputed in any sense, why not just write another question entirely? I'm sure you knew this change was going to be controversial, so changing the question to begin with *is* a political statement.

What does "held court" mean in that question? The presidents are not kings

It just seems inappropriate to use idiomatic language like that. Every other clue is a straightforward geography fact. I was unaware of that connotation and was confused about the literal meaning

I don't see it as inappropriate at all. I quite like the phrasing.

The mountain is called Denali. Calling it McKinley represents support for the current administration and shames the website as a whole.

Why not replace the Denali question to avoid political discussions? Could change it to "Capital of Alabama" or "Native American tribe of the Northeast"

Denali is misspelled, regardless of what some politicians claim.

For the purposes of this quiz, having it called Mt. McKinley instead of Denali is fine, regardless of how I feel about the current administration. To be honest, it's always been one of those things where I've used both names interchangeably.

In other quizzes with a specific starting letter, type-ins without that starting letter are still accepted

I still expected Denali
