If you can make up a story and link it, then you should be able to 'make up' a title within constraints. There's a pretty clear cut line between editorialising

If you can make up a story and link it, then you should be able to 'make up' a title within constraints.
There's a pretty clear cut line between editorialising (injecting spin or opinion) and clarifying the context of the title.
In this case the change of title was objectively harmful and the traffic to this post died after the admins made the change, because most readers had no indication as to the importance of this anymore.
- pvg 7y agoThere's no such 'clear line' and this is not a 'story' it's a patent application - things that are themselves notoriously easy to misinterpret and misrepresent. If there is something important about the application, someone could have written a better-titled story about it or, again, left a comment. You're basically asking for made-up titles because you don't like what happened to this submission. The solution to this problem is better submissions, not made-up titles.
