1. The connection might not actually be clear enough to establish with a quick reference in a report. I can see space for a case to maybe be made, but it would require quite a bit more fleshing out.

2.Yeah, that had to get trimmed. The labeling was rather heavy, and didn't need the precision original construction offered. Can't bury the story inside its own framing.

3.Clarity was indeed needed in the other direction.

4. This is actually a rather serious namespace issue. Slavery, denoting African captivity, was a side issue in the conflict made prominent later as an extra "fuck you" to the south. Describing the flawed practices of African captivity in the US as slavery collides with the practice which holds the slavery label in the Republic. "War of Northern Aggression" works well as a descriptive label of the conflict and it already enjoys widespread use among folks who care to investigate the conflict beyond the propaganda that followed. It wasn't necessarily wrong for the increasingly productive industrializing North to pick the rural, hookworm afflicted, south up against the wall to establish dominance. It's that the Lincoln asshole and his pantsuit friends broke all of things that made early America a republic to win.

5. Indeed not necessary. Underlying issue shared with the second note.

6. The problem with "authoritarian" here is that it appeared to be used as a synonym for bad. It's a neutral term.

7. My thought was less that and more... If the Tibetians and Uyghurs want to be mentioned at all, they need to do something. Victimhood doesn't get to be sainted on its own. The Chinese are knocking up new hospitals in days while the Uyghurs are... letting themselves get interned in camps?

8.This cut was motivated by a bias towards active voice. It's not a much more active presentation, but... declining.

9. Definitely over the top. Few people get to have any of their works ever graded as a magnum opus.

Your original submission has a strong core, and you aren't too far off the mark on the why of the edits. Your fine grained identification of tense is a powerful scholarly tool, but as you continue to grow in reporting try to read yourself with a bit looser filter focusing on active versus passive voice. I too can fall into the passive voice trap. It can feel like I'm being more precise writing in a way that happens to produce passive voiced text, but the result is more burdensome for the reader without actually delivering greater precision.

The namespace issues are likely going to take a bit of practice and continued reading before they sort out to the point you consistently produce alligned text on your own. Good work, good review. Get me another story and let's repeat this exercise this week.
