    Yes. But I didn’t write the headline. I think it’s a misleading headline, but we aren’t allowed to change when we post.

    So if mods decide to delete article due to the editorial choice that the news org made, I am fine with that decision.

      Incorrect.

      Rule 1 from the sidebar(emphasis, mine):

      Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive

    • I never thought I’d be quoting the rules to you, but…

      Rules: 1. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive.

      My reading of this is that it’s optional to add additional context or to be more descriptive so this post should be okay. But you have the option to update the title for those purposes.

        I personally think that changing the title of a posted article is a slippery slope when it comes to the mod rules. So I never change titles of the articles.

        I just cut and paste as they are.
