I'd love to see nodes get nominated requesting that they get a more appropriate title...

HOWEVER, don't bother to nominate it unless you have come up with exactly what that better title is, you are confident that it is a much better title, and you include the title, verbatim, in the "reason for consideration" text. Please?

I've already seen a few Nodes to Consider with "needs a better title" as reason. I'm sorry, I'm one of the janitors, and we don't adjust content. We do mindless formatting repair. Please don't ask us to come up with the titles. (:

You have to realize that once you "consider" a node, noone else can do it. So your lousy new title is the only suggestion we'll see. So don't jump the gun unless the perfect new title occurs to you.

And then try not to get upset when one of the editors doesn't take your advice and uses a different title. /: I say this last bit for my other janitors sake. If you follow my advice, it is very unlikely that I won't like your title (I'm too lazy; in case you didn't catch that part yet), but I don't pretend to speak for the whole gang. :)
