Talk:Obama and Romney battle in second U.S. presidential debate

Headline edit

I'm concerned about neutrality, re the term "attack" and possibly the focus it implies.

This headline is also far less specific than it ought to be. It sounds as if Obama hit Romney over the head with a blunt instrument or something — and it also doesn't say which debate is involved.

(No doubt there are other problems; one glaringly obvious one is that the source templates are broken; I'm just pointing out some issues that caught my eye in passing.) --Pi zero (talk) 20:20, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

I noticed that the sources were wrongly laid out but I don't know how to fix them. Also, how do you change a headline?

The big problem was that the closing double-brace was missing from the second one; I just fixed that. Didn't take time to fix the date format; and I notice there are no categories.
Headline is changed by moving the page to the intended headline. How to do that depends on what skin you're using; in monobook it's a tab called "rename"; in vector iirc it's in a drop-down menu. --Pi zero (talk) 20:36, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Lede edit

Something to consider for future articles: seems to me the lede of this article fails to summarize the focus of the article, because while it deals only with one specific about the debate, the headline and rest of the article both focus more widely on the debate as a whole. --Pi zero (talk) 16:44, 19 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
