Marco Rubio

Don't write edit summaries like these: " Marco Rubio's Cure For Poverty? Subsidize Crummy Jobs, Make Massive Block Grants". Wikipedia is not a platform for your political views.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:43, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

I was copying the title from the source, to make it easier to find other uses of that same title either in the same articles or others. In case the article got picked up by another journal the website, publisher and date would be much more likely to vary than the article title. What alternatives have you found to make a "key" for sources, like say author and date? Hcobb (talk) 22:48, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Ah, that's more understandable, but I still wouldn't use Huffington's headline in the edit summary. Just because Huffington has become more and more tabloidy over the years is no reason to indulge their sensationalism here. I'd just say something like "add material about minimum wage mandate" or something along those lines. None of this is required, of course.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:33, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
