Off-topic nit: the word "painstaking" is a concatenation of "pains-taking", i.e. "taking pains". It's not usually given a dash, but if you put one in, it belongs after the "s".

On-topic: And that's just the sort of copy-editing that would end up being done by (unpaid) reviewers and not the paid copy-editors.

(Thank you, by the way.)
