I found the reference in someone else's blog, and followed the guidelines by submitting the original, and not the link to the blog. I kept the title as it was on the blog because that's what auto-completed when I used the bookmarklet, and it felt justified given the line:

    Even today, downloading one of the papers
    would cost a physician here $45, about
    half a week’s salary.

The mods appear to agree with you, though, so even though the title I used was the title from where I first found it, and even though it matches one of the lines in the article, and even though it helps provide more information about the content/conclusion, it's been reduced to the less informative exact title of the original.

What was the title you submitted?

As originally submitted:

    Yes, We Were Warned About Ebola,
        but It Was Behind a Paywall

Perhaps the submitter encountered the NYT's own paywall
