You don't think "privately circulated manuscript" is 100% accurate?

I think it's pretty clear to say "a privately circulated article by Jones and a published paper by Black," at least as long as I provide links. The ambiguity I'm concerned about is where my comment is very short; the typical situation is providing the public version to someone who cited the private version.

The "manuscript" part certainly isn't, since these things are generally typeset.
