    The auxiliary verbs may be omissible regarding to style of your context, styles that are often used in magazines headline, reports , warnings and etc. As you may know, many languages around the globe doesn't have an exact word for the verb BE, because BE doesn't have discernible meaning on it's own, so it may be omitted when you just want to give the terms as clearly as possible. – Kian Maghsoodi Jul 16 '17 at 13:11

    Not mentioned yet here or in the link is Telegraph style: wording shortened for special reasons. The notice sign, road sign, and telegraph style all have economy in common, but differently. The telegraph charges per letter, so space is not limited, but comes with a cost that taught us to how to economize. Notice signs often became rubber stamps (Request Approved), a space limitation. .Road signs economize space to economize time to put the driver's eyes back on the road quickly. – Yosef Baskin Jul 16 '17 at 13:42
  • This is called a bare passive. – Mohd Zulkanien Sarbini Jul 16 '17 at 23:31
