It's not that "Today I Learned" specifically is unwelcome, but rather that editorializing titles is frowned upon. I think this applies most when there's a perfectly suitable title to use or the title itself is subjective instead of objective- I don't get the sense that a "Today I Learned" title with a Wikipedia link is particularly shunned[1]. As dang will tell you if you run afoul of editorializing, "If you want to say what you think is important about an article, that's fine, but do it by adding a comment to the thread. Then your view will be on a level playing field with everyone else's." It would seem entirely normal to see "Bucky Bit" as a title for the link, and if you were to post it, a first comment is a perfect spot to mention this relationship. In fact, there's an opportunity right now! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38888008 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38888008 [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26739124 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26739124
