Talk:Obama's call for peaceful transfer of power borne out in smooth Trump turnover

Headline
The current headline needs changing, as it's essentially an assessment; non-neutral. The way to handle this sort of thing is to present the reader with facts and leave assessment to them. --Pi zero (talk) 15:29, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The current headline is a placeholder, more about hope than anything else. I consider it a matter of course that we would change it to reflect events after they happened, after the facts come to exist.  Might as well wait and do it just once.
 * It might be a Wikipedia holdover but it would probably be better if we didn't have to choose a title for the article before writing it. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:38, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * A placeholder headline makes sense if one doesn't know details yet. Because a news article is written around a focal event, though, it seems one would ordinarily be able to come up with a plausible initial headline even if it is something one expects to change later as more is known.  How about "US presidency passes from Obama to Trump"?  --Pi zero (talk) 13:44, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Given that it's a story prepared in advance, one could use a very generic placeholder name like Trump takes power or somesuch, as PiZ suggests. Judge jails 'monstrous' London serial killer Stephen Port started life under the placeholder "Stephen Port trial", for example. BRS  (Talk)   (Contribs) 13:51, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
