Perhaps because that title completely omits any form of attribution, which as the article suggests, is largely because of the Gezhouba Dam which completely cut paddlefish off from their only spawning grounds.
Why would you want to omit that part?
That said, this title is a poor attempt at communication.
- okareaman 5y agoI thought the guide was to use the original title
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoWell now you have a title that's, to me, incomprehensible
- GordonS 5y agoIt's not just you - the new title makes no sense at all to me either. It reads as a jumbled collection of random words :/

- Chris2048 5y agoThere's nothing wrong with: The Chinese paddlefish, one of world's largest fish, has gone extinct *because of Yangtze dam* The problem is this part: Paddlefish, largest, from spawn, now extinct
- secondcoming 5y agoGrammar, largest, from original, now incomprehensible
- Kaibeezy 5y agoHN’s hyperbole filter definitely takes out “world’s” on the first pass, but you can put it back. Example: I touched off a bit of a “seems bait-y” pas de deux/do-si-do with the bot/mods re a BBC headline a while back. It’s towards the bottom (where it surely belongs) of this thread - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26552375 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26552375
- gadf 5y agoI'm sorry, this shit cracks me up so much. I'm glad that everyone got so much out of the title!
- rsynnott 5y ago> Perhaps because that title completely omits any form of attribution Though even there, it's... not great, as most people will probably read Yangtze dam as the Three Gorges Dam.
