How do I delete a new story someone linked to my profile

Elizabeth: The standard answer to this is that you should click on the news item, and at the lower left of the item you should see a link labeled "Report a problem". Click on that, and a form will appear in which you can send a message to the Help Desk to correct this.

In the form, leave the Reason Type as "Attached to the Wrong Name/Title". For the Reason, enter "See below". Leave the News Item as is (the letters "ni" followed by a number). Then, in the Comments box, enter something along the lines of "I am [Your Name] and this article has been linked to me in error. It is not about me -- it is about a different, unrelated person with the same name." Click "Submit" and then follow the instructions to send the message.

However, I would like to warn you that the Help Desk is tremendously backlogged. I have submitted requests to the Help Desk about news items linked to the wrong person going back as far as 31 October 2013 without having been resolved yet.
