CS Alert (1890)

Meta HN question (I&#x27;m sorry if this is inappropriate). Normally, in HN &quot;{Title} ({Year})&quot; signals that the article is written in &quot;Year&quot;. So when I read the title, I thought the article will be from 1890, but then realized the article is named &quot;CS Alert (1890)&quot;. In this case looks like &quot;(1890)&quot; is added to the title to disambiguate it from other &quot;CS Alert&quot;s i.e.: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;CS_Alert" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;CS_Alert</a><p>I initially thought it would make more sense to name this article as &quot;CS Alert&quot; since it wouldn&#x27;t matter as much as Wikipedia if the title is ambiguous. But then I disagreed with myself since other &quot;CS Alert&quot;s are all named of the form &quot;CS Alert ({Year})&quot; so it could still be ambiguous even in HN context. Maybe the title could editorialized to &quot;CS Alert 1890&quot; or &quot;CS Alert, 1890&quot; or something, but I understand that HN rules are against editorializing titles. It&#x27;s an interesting problem.

Interesting that they cut the lines instead of tapping them. Maybe the technology wasn’t there yet, or they were in too much of a hurry.
