Hey, what do you think about the new title I've suggested? Also, I've edited the mentioned skin names - it's a bit confusing, people ask us to change the skin name entirely, so I hope that for now, the label with the brackets will be a bit more precise and clear.

Question from Singularitywiki (23:40, 13 September 2022)

Thanks Epic, how can we make sure we are not called suckpuppet if we create a new article. I really want to create articles, but I am not sure how to do it without being attacked really. --Singularitywiki (talk) 23:40, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Singularitywiki, make sure to review your first article before writing your first article. Make sure to also submit it through articles for creation, you can do so by using the article wizard. reviewing your contributions, new users should not engage in AFD discussions if you want to avoid allegations of sockpuppetry. Feel free to reply if you have any additional questions. Justiyaya 08:10, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks! I created a page Draft:Elod Gyenge can you see if this is something that fits Wikipedia:Notability for Wikipedia:Notability (academics), I think it does, but not sure.

Question from SuperHyper74 (11:17, 20 September 2022)

Eric, good morning. I need your help editing a Wikipedia controlled Bing page. --SuperHyper74 (talk) 11:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi SuperHyper74, what page are you referring to? Justiyaya 11:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Good morning, Justiyaya. I am referring to a Bing search, of which Wikipedia controls the content. If you do a bing search for Bella Hadid, you will notice a disturbing word that appears twice on the page, once under her name. And then a second time underneath her photo. The word is "untermensch", a German word that means "subhuman", and was used by the Nazis to describe the Jews and other groups of people who they believed were less than human during the Second World War!!!!!! I should not have to comment any further. Now I need your help to remove that filth from the page!!!! SuperHyper74 (talk) 11:37, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
@SuperHyper74 Thanks for raising your concerns, I was unable to locate the word in the article, although the bing search has the word in it under her photo. After some digging, it seems to be caused by recently reverted vandalism added on Wikidata about a month ago, see wikidata:Special:Diff/1699148984. We do not have control over a saved index of Wikidata by bing, please contact microsoft/bing support. Thanks! Justiyaya 12:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Justiyaya, I have already contacted Microsoft and Bing support, and they keep sending me back here. Now, as you can see from that wikidata page, someone hacked in and vandalized that page. We need to restore the original content of that page, and kick that vandal off the internet immediately!!!!! SuperHyper74 (talk) 12:27, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
@SuperHyper74 It was removed 12 days ago with Wikidata:Special:Diff/1723528387. Can you ask Microsoft support to reindex the Wikidata page or review the search result again linking to this thread? If Wikidata is causing this issue it was fixed 12 days ago on our side, I don't think I can help much. Justiyaya 12:39, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Justiyaya, here is the funny thing about this. Whilst we were chatting back and forth, I noticed that I when I tried to access the page again, half of the problem had been solved. In other words, it now says American model under her photo on the right half of the page, but it still says "untermensch" under her name and smaller photo on the right side of the page. SuperHyper74 (talk) 12:58, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
On the left side of the page, I meant to say, you can still see the grotesque insult. SuperHyper74 (talk) 12:58, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Also, the vandal, whose name is Roshkara, needs to be kicked off the internet permanently!!!!!! SuperHyper74 (talk) 13:02, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
@SuperHyper74 Uhh Roshkara did not vandalize... They did restore a good revision of the page though... I did try the bing feedback feature few hours ago not expecting it to work on that specific section, probably caused by that I guess? Anyways, if it is not resolved within ~24 hours please send a report to Bing Support instead of here. Bye! Justiyaya 14:19, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Oh, sorry about the confusion!!! SuperHyper74 (talk) 15:18, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Question from SuperHyper74 (06:01, 21 September 2022)

I need to know who is responsible for the content on the top of this search page. Is it Bing, or is it Wikipedia!!!!! Whoever is responsible needs to remove the heinous insult "Untermensch" seen under Ms. Hadid's name on the top of the page. --SuperHyper74 (talk) 06:01, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

bella hadid - Search (bing.com) SuperHyper74 (talk) 06:02, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
I have been working tirelessly for nearly two days now to resolve this problem. Wikipedia, I am happy to say, solved half of the problem, as this insult actually appeared twice on the same page. But the other half of the problem needs to be fixed as well!!!! SuperHyper74 (talk) 06:04, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Question from Shootr McGavn (16:57, 21 September 2022)

Hey, I added a couple relevant sentences to a page. It was well-sourced and properly-written.

It immediately was removed on very flimsy grounds. What are my next steps? Is it a fight just to add new info to this site? --Shootr McGavn (talk) 16:57, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Little problem at the Signpost

Hello @EpicPupper. I noticed you're one of the editors in chief at the Signpost. Well, we've got a little problem over there. We've got four days left for writing and not a single one of the articles is ready yet. I was thinking to message the copyeditors about this issue, but I don't know what would be preferable to you to do. I messaged JPxG but so far there is no response. If I don't get a response by tomorrow I'll probably message the copyeditors myself. Thanks! Helloheart (talk) 00:26, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
