    What source connection string are you using for them? Are any of them Web.BrowserContents? If so change them to Web.Contents and see if that helps.

Hi Watsky, I just came across this reply when searching for reasons why I couldn't refresh some Wikipedia data I am using. Because I'm fairly new to Power BI, and am a freelancer doing my own IT setup, I had naturally assumed that all the problems were "my fault" and had wasted hours trying to fix my gateway settings and permissions etc. Thank you so much!
