The reason I put clarifying verbiage in brackets is to denote that that is my words there.
If I get a title - I'll make one up as an example:
Eugene's Kesey statue stolen by Gypsies, I will bear in mind not everyone would get that. So I do this:
Eugene's [city in Oregon][Ken]Kesey statue stolen by Gypsies
I bear in mind that if this is in the local paper, the Register Guard, they would write the title knowing everyone locally getting the paper already knows Eugene is the first name of Eugene Skinner, the city's founder, and that you would have to live under a rock here not to know the late author Ken Kesey, and that there is a statue of him at Willamette and Broadway.
In the case of the title of that piece you are in crisis here over, it was unclear what the editor or reporter meant to a national forum. So I clearly expounded on it sticking with exactly what was mentioned that happened in the article.
I have been doing this 15 years Sand. I bracket what is mine in the manner that is accepted practice when posting local pieces in a national forum.
