Perhaps "entitled" is not used as much anymore, but to say, John wrote an article entitled... is correct. According to dictionary.com (look up "entitled") this is a perfectly acceptable use of the word. Perhaps it's more British in origin, but it is correct. I must beg to differ.

According to the dictionary definition of "entitled", I see no reason why your opening sentence needs to be changed. While I do agree that there is a stylistic convention, you seem to be arguing that it's more of a black and white matter.
