Hello Nullmuse 
For the benefit of other Peer Reviewers, this entry has been in the Writing Workshop, the Flea Market, and Peer Review: F97257?thread=297119 is the previous PR thread.
Looks good to me

My concern is that this entry seems too much to be advertising the brand. Lauding the age of the company and the superiority of their cymbals does not provide a fair and balanced account. Is there any way you could tone down some of the language so that it's not quite so biased?

They're not that much more expensive than other brands.
Compared to a B8-Pro, yes, they are expensive, but this is a "shoe on the other foot" thing-- B8Pro's were designed as a 'cheaper student model' cymbal, not the otherway around.
A Ford costs mort than a Yugo. This doesn't mean the Ford is over-priced, it means that Yugo's are a cheap and crappy knock-offs.
At this point, I'm so frustrated with the entire H2G2 "peer review" process, the previous hijack of this entry and so on, that I never intend to contribute again. In my opinion, H2G2 is a wonderful concept with a completely flawed execution. This site could've been as popular as "MySpace" years ago, witgh support for mobile devices and so on. I'm not sure where exactly it went wrong, but it obviously has.
That said, if it's such a big issue that I'm promoting a specific brand, to me it makes better sense to just remove the "Zildjian" name from the article and make it a basic cymbal entry. Agreed?

Six Days and No Feedback. I am given to presume the entry "Zildjian Cymbals" is fairly on-target.

hiya Nullmuse,
I agree with EMR. I find it a bit advert-y. Especially where their telephone number is mentioned. It does tell me about the cymbals though and is written well.

Well, wasn't me...
I suppose we'll have to see if Nullmouse intends to do anything about that.

Still hidden -- should we remove this thread from Peer Review for now?
