Jordi Kloosterboer said: I tried to change a date twice (I reloaded the source page and clicked on edit the second time), but it gives me an unhelpful error both times.

This is the link to the person's source page (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/per...) the source I am changing the date for is Robert Davis, "British Newspaper Archive, Family Notices" (sorted as the second of three 1849 dates).

The image shows the error I get.

    David Newton said: So according to the public notice you need to be at an FHC to access those images. So that means one of two things is true:

    1. Jordi is at an FHC when he shouldn't be because they're all closed; or
    2. The public notice about the image access conditions is deliberately incorrect.

    Now I don't believe that Jordi is illicitly going to an FHC. So that means the public notifucation about the image access is deliberately wrong. Now why do I use the adverb deliberately? There has been controversy over Mormon access to resources others can't access, and consequently the information about this access has been removed from public view. Hence deliberately altered. Hence deliberately incorrect.

    You can try and hide and obfuscate such access all you want, but the information will get out.

    Turning to the original problem I went to the record to try and reproduce the error but I can't. Reason? I can't access the image because I'm not at an FHC. Now as it happens I have a Findmypast subscription, so even if the screenshot were not there I could see the image on their site. However I can't check whether the error occurs for me.

    So stop providing deliberately inaccurate information about access conditions to images and stop providing religiously discriminatory access to those images. Oh and fix the bug in the correction submission system as well.
