Things that I can't help but change when I peruse an article:
 * due to
 * a number of...
 * it is important to note that... or variations thereof

Things that are bothersome, and I will change if I have the time:
 * Commas. If it's a compound sentence, it needs a comma before the and or but. If the phrase after the conjunction cannot be a complete sentence on its own, no comma.

 * Italics: The titles of works that stand by themselves, such as books or newspapers: "There was a performance of Beethoven's Ode to Joy." Works that appear within larger works, such as short stories, poems, or newspaper articles, are not italicized, but merely set off in quotation marks.
