Why Are Questions Suddenly Acceptable As Headlines?

edit

It is not a good idea to have news headlines be questions. There is no content there - unless you assert some statement with some sort of evidence, it's just a troll. It's bad enough to have local and cable news stations propagating this marketing trick. It has no place on WikiNews.

Please note - I'm not attacking the story or the content - just the phrasing of the headline. Something like "Top Ranked France to play Scotland This Afternoon" would have been fine. It's just a slippery slope.

We both are IP's ;-))) and can't change this title which has already be renamed twice. Being the only redactor, I have already said I was not proud at all about my first title. Who's next ? ? ? 82.224.88.52 19:33, 7 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Title

The title is ambiguous. It needs to say football (soccer) or at least Euro 2008.
