Can't load content at the moment

I have an Android cell phone. There are web pages and applications that formerly allowed me to attach in image from my "Photos", but don't work anymore. From a place where I would attach a file, at the bottom of the screen is "Choose an action", with three choices: (a) Camera for a picture (b) Camera for a video (c) Files. Files used to allow me to access files on my phone, such as in Photos, but now, "clicking" on Files goes to a page titled "Drive" and it says, "FILES FROM DRIVE / (my gmail address)" followed by a large hourglass with red sand in the bottom, followed by "Can't load content at the moment". I spend over an hour in "chat" with my ISP's email support, and the best they could come up with was "Delete all your cookies", but I believe that this is wrong. What do I really need to do to fix this problem? BTW my partner has a very similar Android cell phone, and does not have this problem. On my partner's cell phone, from "Files" one can access the photos gallery. —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:27, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Number of articles on English Wikipedia

Does the English Wikipedia really have the mark of the beast times a myriad articles? How was this number arrived at? What counts as an article, anyway? Does a redirect page count, even if it does absolutely nothing but redirect to a "real" article? 2601:18A:C500:E830:20A4:2B6A:AD66:2F2A (talk) 23:08, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The count reported as of 2023-05-20 was 6658548. By extrapolation of the trend, 6660000 was reached the next day. According to wikimedia:Article count reform, the count only includes articles in mainspace having at least one internal link but excludes redirects. --Lambiam 11:09, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Try mw:Manual:Article count instead. -- Verbarson ^talk_edits 23:25, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As of 20241113092343, the article count is 6,909,877. (Refresh to update.) --Lambiam 12:50, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
