Anyone?

Any Dutch Researchers out there want to comment?

I get the impression Matt that you don't really know the city, whilst there's nothing wrong with the entry I feel it lacks character. No personal touches or information not readily available.

That's not to say it can't go into the Guide, just that it seems a bit flat. (Appropriate for The Netherlands )

No, I don't know it at all This is a Flea Market Rescue, I've tried to add some character, but, yeah I agree, it is a bit flat

I'll see what I can do to spruce it up

Hmm... I see a bit of a problem ahead. This work bears a striking resemblance to that offered up by the 'competition' - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwolle

To progress to the EG, you'll have to do a fundamental re-write to remove all traces of Jimbo Wales. This task I fear will be quite difficult because:
1) The primary English language source about Zwolle is from Jimbo's lot.
2) You don't speak Dutch, nor do you know the area, so you can't utilise alternative sources.
3) Having been to Zwolle, I can tell you that it really is one of those places for which its greatest attraction is the road out again. So to my mind, I don't think that it deserves an Edited Guide entry.

hmm indeed. Like I said, leave it with me.

There we go. Removed all 'alternative' sources, rewritten and hopefully it's an improvement on the original

Yes, all three are much improved now. Thank you

So returning to the qestion of the subject matter. I personally won't be picking this entry, because I believe that Zwolle is one of the dullest places on earth. However my opinion should not stand in the way of some other Scout picking this entry on the basis of the entry's merits, over whatever might happen to be my personal prejudices.

I just wanted it out of the Flea Market

You need to change the Amsterdam link to A142985, as this is currently linking to an unedited entry. Also the Amsterdam entry makes the distinction that cannabis is decriminalised, rather than legal, perhaps you could use the same footnote in this entry?

Eco, fixed up

'Decriminilised' and 'legally buy and use' are not same thing. From what I can gather selling cannabis is illegal still. It's tolerated, not legal.

So, how is this coming on? Any more comments?

Forgotten about this one. Nothing more from me, was simply getting it out of the Flea Market to be honest.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Congratulations Matt

This one was one of those I'd forgotten about! But it was more for the Original author than for me

Good one!
