Acceptability

Oh, my role here in Historical Revision is very boring, you don't want to hear it.

Well, if you're sure, I guess you've got a high enough clearance level.

So, older texts are often problematic. They will have references and statements that are, while acceptable at the time, are not appropriate for general consumption today. So I will rework or delete the offending passages so as not to perpetuate the errors.

Obviously those with understanding of historical context are free to request untouched work, but that's not my department.

What happens to them isn't my department either, to be clear.
