Same thing happened to me, where the title was changed from "Java Creator James Gosling: Why I Quit Oracle" to "Why I Quit Oracle".

It doesn't make sense.

Your example (taken with this one) actually makes it make more sense though -- seems like they remove names from articles.

I don't know why the mods have chosen to do that (I'm not going to speculate because there could be lots of reasons), but at the very least they're doing it consistently.

well, it's a very different thing if the title is "Why I quit Oracle" or "Java Creator: Why I quit Oracle" and when it's all about removing name the consequence would have been a meaningless "Why I quit".
