I feel with some of the things, such as the third line you're correct, but then I feel at times you're being too nit-picky like with the first line in regards to the condition column. Perhaps adding justification to the your review instead of corrects would be helpful.

Yes, I made some corrections that I felt will provide for better clarity and flow. However, I don't generally itemize reasons for the changes in my reviews because they should all be self-evident to the reviewee and I want to avoid talking down to people--although I will provide explanations if you ask for them. Also, stylistic changes don't generally figure in the points I give.

Okay ,thanks for giving me an explanation on how you give reviews. I find explanations helpful since I've only been doing translation for about three months.

Thanks for the corrections. I wasn't sure with the "(Please write within 80 characters)" part so I translated it. As for the two mistranslations, thanks for labeling them accordingly and adding your corrections.
