Inkipedia:Poll selection

Polls are select questions that are shown on the main page. These should be questions that are related to the SS undefined and can be answered by anyone.

View poll suggestions from the Google form here.

Previous poll nominations can be found in the archives.

Moderation
All members of the Poll Selection Committee will moderate the votes on the poll selection. Polls are swapped on the first week of every month. An available member of the poll committee will swap the poll by tie-breaking in-case of a tie, swapping the previous poll with the winning poll, archiving the previous poll and the poll nomination. Members of the poll committee need to be informed on how to do these tasks.

On the beginning of the month:
 * 1) In-case of a tie, decide which poll should be chosen and comment about the tie-breaking with reasoning as an option.
 * 2) Archive the current poll to Inkipedia:Polls with its order of the answers and not by most votes. Don't forget submission, date and image.
 * 3) Make the poll in Strawpoll.me.
 * 4) Put the newly created poll with fitting height x width, and image with link in Main Page/Poll.
 * 5) Archive the winning nomination to archives.

Nominations that stayed five voting periods will be removed and archived.

Nomination process
Polls can be proposed in the section below by members of the Poll Selection Committee, up to two pending proposals per member. If a member wants to submit another proposal, but two are already pending selection, they could retract one of their proposals and archive it. If a member re-submits a retracted proposal, voting must start as a blank slate for that proposal.

Proposals can be voted on once by each user. Nominations may stay up for up to five voting periods before they are removed. A poll may not be featured more than once a year.

On the first day of every month, the poll question with the highest difference of those in favor minus those who oppose will be featured. One poll will be featured at any time, comprising of the winner of the previous voting period.

Nominations can be made in the following format:

 * I actually suggested the poll myself on the Google form. Prinz fanart.jpg Queenie the Overlord   [Splatz] Prinz fanart.jpg  18:12, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I've got the manga but I haven't read it yet. I think this question is very specific as I believe those characters are not main and appear only at the first or two volumes. 19:16, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * They feature a fair bit in the S1 arc and have a huge effect on the fanbase, Prinz fanart.jpg Queenie the Overlord   [Splatz] Prinz fanart.jpg  21:12, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The S4 actually appear throughout the series and are main supporting characters after the third volume. 12:23, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Many people may not have read the Splatoon Manga or may not know what it is. Since Inkipedia is mainly focused on the game, I don't think we should have a poll about the manga. 12:26, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Like what Eminence said, many people, including myself, have not read the Splatoon manga. dedf1sh07 (talk) 23:13, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with Shahar that it is pretty specific, although I would be on board if it were something like “What is your favorite team from the Splatoon manga?” However, I will withhold my judgement until this develops further. 16:06, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Pretty sure that's where Eleven left off before we were able to do this poll. We did it for the first game and a poll about the Splatfest was in-between its time period. Added rating sticker details so readers can know which physical copy they got. Shahar (talk) 16:42, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this is a good one. 17:10, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Some people may not have ever used these weapons or not know what they are. Can we add an option like "Never used these weapons" or "What are these weapons?"
 * I think "I don't play Salmon Run" already covers that. Yawshi Fan (talk) 23:18, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I wanna make this out this very next rotation so we can keep up with the new spoon3 trend. Please help perfect it :D Yawshi Fan (talk) 23:05, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Isn't there a limit to ten options for the Inkipedia Poll? dedf1sh07 (talk) 23:14, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It did say we want to keep the options below 10, but I'm pretty sure I've seen polls before with mire than ten options. I'm not sure if it works on strawpoll but if it doesn't I'll put some work into it. Yawshi Fan (talk) 23:23, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok dedf1sh07 (talk) 23:43, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Seems like the answers refer to what excites you in the trailer rather than if you are excited or not. The poll to me seems very shallow. Shahar (talk) 16:00, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I basically just listed out all the features in the trailer. I could do the same for the opposition if you want. Yawshi Fan (talk) 22:36, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * What do you think now? You can see I also grouped up those features cus it's getting huge. Yawshi Fan (talk) 22:55, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
