I changed what alloy the article reports for the "201" series of cymbals to bronze as reported on paiste's web site.

If I know my Estonian right, "e" is always pronounced as /e/ in Estonian, not as /i/ (like in the English "tee"). So "pies-teh" would be a better approximation of a pronunciation, though I still don't know if English words can end in a plain /e/ sound at all. JIP | Talk 11:03, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I believe you're correct -- this should be reflected in the article! Will make the change now.

A representative from Paiste told me it was pronounced pie-stee (rhyhming with fiesty). Unfortunately, it appears they removed this from the website. Jm51 16:59, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

perfect.  :)   Pie-stee.  

Take care,

Paiste

I'm pretty sure that no Estonian would pronounce Paiste as pie-stee. If it is estonian word meaning "shine", then it end in /e/. But I'm Finnish, not Estonian, so it would be nice if somebody from our neightbour Eesti would settle this once and for all... Pie-stee is sure to be anglisism. 195.197.175.20 21:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The correct pronunciation is "pie-ste", where "pie" is like pie and "ste" is like Ste in Stephanie. 82.131.52.118 19:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Meg White/ Josh freese

I believe meg white should be added to the user list. also it shoould be added that joch drummed for devo and live for NIN

-NINANDNIRVANA (who forgot his password)

It seems to me the list of notable artist is overly long. I think it should be shortened and listed per genre. Any ideas?

I think the list is fine, if it were edited, what would be the criteria for inclusion? If they endorse, list them. btw I added Mikkey Dee. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.115.232.65 (talk) 19:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logo trouble

By now I'm pretty sure someone has noticed that there's something wrong with the logo. We should find a way to fix it.(SUDUSER)85 06:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Paiste-logo.png

Image:Paiste-logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:05, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
