[WikiEN-l] Two proposals against wheel warring

[Ilmari Karonen]

I thought I'd let folks here on the mailing list know something I just 
found out about -- there's not one but _two_ active policy proposals to 
curtail wheel warring:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Proposed_wheel_warring_policy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Admin_zero-revert_rule

I'm not sure how we ended up with two redundant proposal pages, but 
somehow we did.  The first page, which I hadn't heard of until today, 
includes polls for five alternatives, the last two of which seem to have 
some support.  The other page features one, more detailed and somewhat 
stricter, proposal, which hasn't been put to a poll but has been 
extensively discussed and seems to also enjoy some degree of consensus.

Anyway, I agree that it's probably time to turn these proposals into 
actual policy.  There are folks here on this list who have much more 
experience with doing this than I have, so I won't try to teach grandma 
to suck eggs.  What I've done so far is point people to the talk page of 
the former proposal page, suggestion that the issue be hashed out there, 
using the consensus versions of both proposals as basis for the policy.

Anyway, your input and policymaking skills are appreciated.  Let's get 
this thing done.
