Before “affiliations: - "Goldsmiths, University of London" - "Yale University" - "London School of Economics"”
After “affiliations: - "Goldsmiths, University of London" - "Yale University"”
Why it was flagged
The London School of Economics is listed as a sourced affiliation in frontmatter, but the body's 'What Is Not Established Here' section explicitly states this affiliation 'post-dates the essay cited here and is not sourced.' The frontmatter and the article's own citation audit contradict each other.
What was done
The body text already documented that the LSE affiliation is unsourced and post-dates the cited essay, so the frontmatter contradicted the page's own citation audit. Removed London School of Economics from the affiliations array to match the audited body text; no new research was needed since the disclaimer already existed on the page.

Before “it is unusually specific about how the thing actually started”
After “describing in detail how the assembly started”
Why it was flagged
"Unusually specific" is a subjective, evaluative characterization of the source rather than a neutral description of its content.
What was done
Removed the evaluative comparison and described the account neutrally.

Before “That is the origin of the assembly process that defined the encampment — not a plan, but a splinter from a rally that had been mislabelled.”
After “According to Graeber's account, this splinter group's assembly, not the advertised rally, became the model for Occupy's general assembly process.”
Why it was flagged
This is an interpretive editorial conclusion drawn by the article rather than an attributed claim from the cited source. It frames a causal/definitional judgment ("the origin," "defined the encampment") as established fact.
What was done
Wording-only fix: attributed the claim explicitly to Graeber's account and softened 'the origin ... that defined the encampment' to 'became the model for', removing the unattributed causal/definitional framing without adding or removing factual content.

Before “though the essay is careful not to claim more than he did”
After “His books gave the movement much of its vocabulary about debt and work; the essay itself does not claim more than described above”
Why it was flagged
This phrase praises the source for restraint, which is a value judgment about the quality/character of the essay rather than a neutral factual statement.
What was done
Removed the evaluative 'careful' characterization while preserving the factual point that the essay does not overclaim.
