English Usage - censure, censor - English editing.

Censure and censor, although quite different in meaning, are frequently confused. To censure means ‘to express severe disapproval of’ (the country was censured for human rights abuses), while to censor means ‘to examine (a book, film, etc.) and suppress unacceptable parts of it’: the letters she received were censored. Avoid writing censure when you mean censor, as in the incorrect the film was censured.
