'''Quickpolls''' are polls among Wikipedia regulars on issues that need to be quickly resolved.

'''Quickpolls''' were a trial of a system for making fast decisions about problematic users. They consisted of polls among Wikipedia regulars on issues that needed to be quickly resolved. It operated from [[March]] to [[June]] of [[2004]], although some action continued into [[July]].

After mixed reactions in the 30-day review process this page fell into disuse. As seen on the [[Wikipedia talk:Quickpolls|talk page]], there was much dissatisfaction with the process, and no agreement on what changes were needed to fix it.

==Policies==

Potential alternatives to the quickpoll system include the "[[Wikipedia:Three strikes you're out policy|three strikes rule]]" and other ways of [[wikipedia:dealing with trolls|dealing with trolls]] and [[Wikipedia:dealing with disruptive or antisocial editors|dealing with disruptive or antisocial editors]].

You are responsible for reading [[Wikipedia:Quickpolls policy]] before using this page. Quickpolls are '''not''' for arbitrary issues between users.

At the time, [[Wikipedia:Quickpolls policy]] contained the policy for this procedure. Concluded polls shouldhave bebeen moved to [[Wikipedia:Quickpolls/Archive]] (which also includes an example poll).

A proposal to revive quickpolls was active in March, 2005. See [[Wikipedia:Bring back quickpolls]].

==VeryVerily and 172==

Both users violating the [[Wikipedia:Revert|3 revert guideline]] on [[Saddam Hussein]]. This is the third time we have had a quickpoll that involved both of these users. I am not requesting a ban for either one. Although it's not a standard remedy, I am proposing a [[Wikipedia:Requests for mediation|request for mediation]] for their ongoing interpersonal conflicts over multiple articles. I would have proposed the remedy of a [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration|request for arbitration]], which is listed in the [[Wikipedia:Quickpolls policy|policy]], except that mediation has not been attempted yet that I know of. --[[User:Michael Snow|Michael Snow]] 22:37, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

:172 is stalking me, now more than ever; any controversial page I'm on, he shows up soon enough to oppose me. In my defense I want to note that (a) my last revert on [[Saddam Hussein]] was to undo my second-last revert, (b) I had followed the three-revert guideline for quite a while until it was (to my disappointment) [[/Archive#User:172 (11 votes / 1 for / 10 against / 9.1% in favour)|empirically shown]] to not exist. As for now, reverting is my only tool against 172's rampages; any less, and he would just always get his way, which wouldn't be right. By the way, I don't expect him to accept mediation; in his mind, he is too far above all us ignoramuses. -- [[User:VeryVerily|V]][[User talk:VeryVerily|V]] 22:58, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

===Support===

#[[User:Isomorphic|Isomorphic]] 22:49, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC) - Obvious case for mediation.

# Absolutely. Either they settle it once and for all, or we take them out in a field somewhere and shoot them ;) I'm up for either. [[User:Raul654|&rarr;Raul654]] 22:52, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)

===Comments===

* I would support a 24-hour ban. To me it seems as a clear and deliberate violation of the three-revert guideline, maybe encouraged by the past failed Quickpolls. The very recent Quickpolls make me think they are given a fair chance to improve their behavior, and have clearly failed to do so. --[[User:Ruhrjung|Ruhrjung]] 22:54, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
