Hello everybody!
I will have an article published in a medical journal and the editor asked me to eliminate 3 figures fom my paper (froma total of 7). I would like to know if it is correct to say the following:
Figures 3, 6 and 7 were eliminated from the article. Figures 1 and 2 were maintained. Figure 4 has been renumbered “Figure 3” and Figure 5 has been renumbered “Figure 4”. The legends will be rearranged.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks a lot!

I have a question on the corrections you've made:
Is there any reason for using past tense in the first sentence and present perfect in the others? What about future in the last one? I hope you have the oportunity to answer, it would help me a lot!
Thanks!
