Police have arrested a suspect in the killing of a 16-year-old cheerleader who was found dead by her mother in her bathtub earlier this week in Edna, Texas.
The Edna Police Department located the suspect, identified as Rafael Romero, on Saturday in Schulenburg, Texas.
The Texas Rangers, who investigate major violent crime as part of the state’s Department of Public Safety, arrested Romero for capital murder — which makes the suspect eligible for the death penalty if convicted — and took him to the Jackson County Jail.
Of course you can change it
Not according to the community rules:
“should”, so no. It is only deleted if it misrepresents. Editing the title here makes sense and is allowed.
If you allow an edit here, than I can argue my edit is a correction as well even though it’s misleading and biased.
It’s a slippery slope and there’s a reason it’s a rule in most places that want proper news discussions.
The rule says it can be edited as long as it doesn’t misrepresent the article. Arguably it should be changed as the original title is misleading clickbait.
Rules get broken and bent, it won’t be long until this rule changes to no edits to be in line with every other news discussion place.
You don’t edit article titles, sorry you’re just wrong here. Go bark up somewhere else and stop following me into other posts since I called you out.
In the pursuit of truth and honesty, no, no title should be edited when posting articles. Unless there’s an egregious error.
It’s also a community rule and just general good faithness for discussions.
Whether or not that headline is an egregious error, in and of itself, is arguable. I would say that making it less sensational is preferable to making it an exact copy.
The rule says it can be edited and it will not be deleted if the title represents the article properly.
And who gets to decide it represents it properly? A mods opinion, you know what removes doubt and bias, just not changing it.
