Just a note to say that I made Template:Blue pencil.

censorship? pejorative?

[edit]

I removed two references that failed verification. [1][2] Neither usage was identified as censorship nor pejorative; to claim otherwise from these two articles does not stick to the source. Both used "blue pencil" only in a headline or section heading for which the usual meaning of editing/editor could be inferred. 72.152.225.29 (talk) 00:45, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
