Was there a requirement to keep everything into one sentence? Other than the rewriting in procedure format and maybe the overall winner, these examples greatly compromise clarity of the text.

To Jenny Ruby: Thanks for expanding the conversation about what editors should edit in today's (June 14, 2011) Skills and Drills. This is a tricky question: a key part of an editor's job is to make the author feel that the editor is working in partnership with both the writer and the readers to provide the most effective communication channel. It's important to dispense editoral improvements with tact and respect for both writers and readers.
