The rollback feature is all or nothing, unfortunately. :/

What you want is to avoid is subjective and slanted wording.
 * To use "hostile" (and other subjective wording), it needs to be explained, especially because their hostility toward the Sky People is justified since they're invaders. In addition, the Grounders are in a Coalition showing the hostilities have mostly ended between them and we've only see a small handful of the clans and only two separate territories (Trikru and Floukru). We don't know what other Clans and/or cities are like so it's speculation to comment on how refined, hostile, or savage they might be.
 * They are not "primitive;" they simply do not use technology (i.e. electricity, guns) because the Mountain Men threatened to wipe them out if they did. They have an established civilization with a major capitol (Polis) and an infrastructure of government, travel, and trade. That is not primitive.
 * They are only called "savage" by the Sky People (Lexa replies, "we are what we are," neither agreeing with the charge of being savage nor disagreeing with it).
 * Clarke is the one who called what occurs with the Flame "reincarnation," not the Grounders. As we see in S3, the spirit choosing the next Commander has nothing to do with reincarnation and everything to do with being a Nightblood and winning the Conclave. They have completely distinct and separate beliefs regarding "reincarnation" that does not correlate with present-day religious beliefs of transmigration and it's misleading to use that terminology.

The basics: Hope this helps clarify things and please let me know if you have any other questions.
 * Explain subjective terminology or don't use it unless they've been used in-series by other characters and are also referenced.
 * "Lexa is a ruthless Commander" vs. "Indra states Lexa is a good commander because she is ruthless."
 * Remove speculation when there is nothing to support it.
 * "twelve fractious clans and nomads, some reasonably refined, others savage and hostile." vs. "twelve clans who joined together under a coalition after years of fighting, leading to tenuous peace."
 * Slant and perspective: write from the perspective of the page. If you're writing about Sky People, write from the Sky People's perspective. If you're writing about Grounders, write from their perspective.
 * Slant: "The Grounders are savages." vs. "The Sky People view the Grounders as savages."
 * Perspective: "The Grounders believe in reincarnation" vs. "Clarke labels the Grounder belief regarding the Commander's spirit choosing the next Commander as 'reincarnation.'"
