Great Article, but I would seriously avoid usage of the word ‘’revisionist’’ in a negative context. Revisionist historian is a term that's been used and abused for far too long.it's it's basically become synonymous with historical lies. There's a certain type of revisionism that certainly falls under this category, the general Term , historical revisionist simply refers to someone who wants to reinterpret the common historical narrative, Whether it be the mainstream perception of a given time period, place, person, etc

Many of those who were self-described historical revisionists have been proven to be right on one topic or another, and their revisions have now become the current mainstream and commonly agreed belief for better or worse. IE ‘’New Qing history’’
