Inkipedia:Poll selection

Polls are questions that are shown on the main page. These should be questions that are related to the SS undefined.

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. For each month there will be a person in charge (Judd). Their role involves tie-breaking, swapping the previous poll with the winning poll, and archiving the previous poll. Polls are swapped on the first day of every month. Members of the poll selection committee must be informed on how to do these tasks.

This list will be changed as people join or leave the committee.

On the beginning of the month:
 * Tasks of Judd
 * 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) Put the winning poll with fitting height, width, and image with link in Main Page/Poll.
 * 4) 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:

Comments

 * The merchandise page has been expanding recently and shows vast items that can be purchased from the Splatoon universe. It will also show some spotlight and might make editors fill the missing merch. It's also possible to ask which merchandise you got but I think there are too many categories with that. 16:43, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't we put OFFICIAL? Also I support as we have had vast improvements Prinz fanart.jpg Queenie the Overlord   [Splatz] Prinz fanart.jpg  18:15, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by official? like the official merch? 19:16, 1 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes thats what I mean. I've got a LOT of pins of splatoon characters but they're not official so i was wondering if that countsPrinz fanart.jpg Queenie the Overlord   [Splatz] Prinz fanart.jpg  21:13, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I know some that might've started the Hero campaign and never finished it or haven't touched it at all so I'd add an option of 'None of the above' or 'I don't have a favorite'. 19:16, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Comments

 * 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)
 * 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)

Comments

 * It's something quite different from what the polls are, and so I'd like to give it a try. Yawshi Fan (talk) 02:59, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Again. same problem with the Octo Canyon Bosses. Some might not played the Octo Canyon so this can't be answer by anyone if it doesn't cover all the options. Shahar (talk) 10:26, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Now that I look back at the older polls, we didn't have a getaway option so I guess it's not mandatory to have a poll that can be answered by anyone. Shahar (talk) 17:56, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I won't support this until the poll name becomes more precise and compact. 18:31, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
