I screwed up big time & am so sorry about it!

To: Quaerens-veritatem - I made a huge screw up on the talk page of "Killing of Rayshard Brooks" and in doing so, I confused you - or I got you confused ... anyway, I am very sorry for my screw up. BetsyRMadison (talk) 21:01, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

No problem BetsyRMadison. It's hard to be human. Best regards, Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 06:44, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

On The Image Issue

Following our conversation here & your reply, I’m really happy for you. It’s a great thing you got yours fixed, I’ve tried to follow every step you took in correcting yours but for some reason I keep getting stumbling blocks every which way, maybe it’s because I’m residing in Nigeria or perhaps the IPhones sold in Nigeria maybe different from the ones sold in Europe & North America all this just makes me want to move back to Utah. At least there i’d get Apple customer care representatives to interact with faster. Celestina007 (talk) 18:52, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Celestina007: I suppose the problem is either a software glitch/your phone lacking "Safari"->"Advanced"->"Experimental Features"->“Intersection Observer” that should be on your phone. I can't believe your phone is different except for the SIM card, the operating software should be the same. I suppose you called 0800 444 4261 (the number is for landlines; you may be charged when calling from your iPhone; and, the number may not be accessible from your network provider). You could try getting the "Apple Support" app that has a chat option. You could try Twitter (https://twitter.com/AppleSupport) and see if they can provide an answer or a phone/chat option from where you are. The best idea I have is you could try to make an international call to the U.S. by dialing the exit code for Nigeria (I think its "009" but you need to check this) + “1” or "001" (the U.S. country code) + 800-275-2273 (say “speak with the representative”)(I'm not sure, but you may be charged for the call). If you can't get Apple to fix the problem as I did, it will be a pain, but you could disable JavaScript ("Safari"->"Advanced"->toggle off "JavaScript") that corrected the problem on my device, or you could download and use the "Google Chrome" app for web surfing, Misplaced Pages, and Misplaced Pages editing that allows the images when I tried it. Best of luck. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 06:25, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, again @Celestina007: - If you couldn't get an Apple fix for the software glitch, I understand the upcoming iPadOS 14 software update will let you set the default browser from Safari to Google Chrome (and other browsers) that doesn't gray out Misplaced Pages images. See, https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/22/21299342/apple-ipados14-default-apps-email-browser-choice-features-wwdc-2020. Best, Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 02:53, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

@Quaerens-veritatem, Ah! Thanks for looking out for me. I figured I’d just purchase an Android phone instead & use my iPhone for just listening to music. Generally speaking I think Android phones/devices give their owners little or no stress compared to Apple products. Celestina007 (talk) 08:02, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Celestina007 Glad to help. You may be right about the stress, but I'm now used to Apple, have had few problems, like the features, and love that its security software is the best out there. Best wishes, Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 06:25, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Quaerens-veritatem, yeah no cap there! Apple does have the best security. Celestina007 (talk) 07:34, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Guess whose images finally stopped graying and returned to normal after almost 6 months? Yap! You guessed right. My iPhone finally decided to fix itself today. Celestina007 05:25, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Celestina007 Yea! Great to hear. Maybe a software update or cell provider fix. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 09:40, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people.

Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Tap to display image.

Hi, I noticed you’ve provided a solution to the new Misplaced Pages problem where mobile/tablet users have to tap on photos to display them. I however do not have intersection observer on my version of iOS, as I found out quite painfully after many hours of research. Would you be able to help me as I do not want to tap to display each image on my iPad. Thanks, 101.0.49.246 (talk) 12:02, 29 June 2021 (UTC)Johnnytest5

Hi @101.0.49.246: Unfortunately, the only fix I know of is to activate intersection observer. I am not sure why you have not updated the iPadOS but, if possible, update your iPad; however, if you have an old iPad you may be stuck with an earlier generation of the operating system because your iPad doesn't have the hardware that's necessary to run new operating systems, and the only solution I know of, unfortunately, is to buy a newer iPad or iPad Mini.

Edit-warring on Byron York

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 20:38, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Actually I was the one being reverted and used the talk page before Snooganssnoogans posted the above notice. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 21:31, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to the article Chris Cuomo. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Misplaced Pages's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Contents/Editing Misplaced Pages, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. KyleJoan 02:18, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Although I now realize the 'editor consensus' is the NY Post 'should never be used for information about a living person', the edit has been verified by others. I wonder if the NY Post should be reevaluated as it has been accurate, for example re: the Hunter Biden laptop.
