Rollback granted
Hi Esowteric. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:
- Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
- Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! DanCherek (talk) 18:39, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for this, User:DanCherek and I'll certainly abide by the terms of use. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 18:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
What do you think about submitting it for a GA review? Skyerise (talk) 11:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wouldn't the fact that it's volatile and not a stable, established article go against that? (I'm just guessing). Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 11:53, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm sure it's within your capabilities (though handling ongoing edits would make the task more difficult). Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 12:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Continued misrepresentation of RFC by Esterau16
Esterau16 continues to misrepresent the conclusions of the "Biden giving aid to the Palestinians" RFC based off of sloppy wording from a non-administrative closer. (He improperly mentioned: "besides the lead already covers humanitarian aid for Gaza"
) You can see that Option #1 which states that it should be removed altogether had 25+ votes while both Option #2 (include) and Option #3 that states: Aid in general should be mentioned. Not the port itself
only got 5 votes in total.
His wall also shows that he does this stuff repeatedly. So he's essentially edit warring it into the Joe Biden lead at this point. Despite the fact that essentially no aid was reached to Palestinians at all.
The port in question is not even operational anymore. KlayCax (talk) 17:24, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
