Article removed because of commercial info?

My bananas article was removed because it contained commercial information. I looked through it and found two brand names, which I've removed. Does it look okay now, or do I need to do some more editing? And if it is okay, will the article have to go through the Peer Review again?

It's been reposted at: Bananas - A517303

Please, kind stranger, check it out and tell me if I need to do any more chopping.

Thanks! - Lentilla

disclaimer: I'm powerless and uninformed. I think you're safe. The best place to ask these sorts of questions is on Peta's home page (as recc'd in the moderation guidelines). Or just wait an hour (or so) and see if you get failed again.

On the other hand, my entry here -> http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A509645
<- has many brand names in it (Paramount Pictures, Landmark Forum, Discovery Channel) and go past the censors with them all intact. The question *seems* to be whether the brand names "add value" to the entry, which is a judgement call at best. Try replacing the brand names and see if a different censor lets them pass by.

Yeah, I've posted to Peta's page, but I wasn't sure if it was the right place or not. She's pretty busy, and I didn't want to clutter up her space with obnoxious questions.

I've removed the brand names (weren't that important anyway) and resubmitted it, so we'll see what happens. Thanks!
