Regarding your first point, isn't that covered in "We are going to investigate adding a post notice to answers deleted as plagiarism..."? Or are you asking for the post notice to explicitly mention that votes have been reversed?

@41686d6564standsw.Palestine More to the latter point. I suppose if the tool is wrapped up in a one-shot event (i.e. Mod chooses "Mod->Delete as plagiarism", post is deleted, rep is revoked, and a post notice is added) it would naturally follow that the timeline would indicate all of those actions accurately. My only concern is that the deletion event doesn't mention that it's a special remove-rep-and-delete event, and that that particular part is unclear to other viewers.

Regarding the deleted as plagiarism - that's a fair point. We were focusing the tool on deleted posts only so that the likelihood of anyone running across the post was lower but it does make sense to include that in the post history. We want to make it easier for mods to review posts in bulk but that will likely require additional tooling that would automate the post review process - which is a bigger thing - whether that means building something or from scratch or getting a third party service (similar to what professors use for essays).
