I just woke up to this and was surprised the title was eddied as well. I looked up the guidelines and it looks like I violated the "If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link." guideline.

In your defense, the only reason I knew about this being Arch is because I got the email first last night. The belief that "everyone reads the domain in light grey parens on the right" is false, as a reader I 100% ignore that information subconsciously. This article would be a lot better if it started with "ArchLinux: ...." as it apparently used to be last night. This is a 100% bad title edit, "guidelines" be damned - it made your article submission worse not better.
