I think you have a type in your email. The linked page says:
"The Poll will be closed on Friday, January 23, 2009, at 24:00 UTC"
So that would be in ~24 hours, not ~48 as the 24th would suggest.
--Falcorian
That is a really short time period for a poll!

The poll started weeks ago, I think David's just letting people know it's about to finish. (It seems the closing date was only just decided on.)
Ah ok! I figured something was up as we never have polls that end so fast! Thanks for posting here as I did not know otherwise!

It's been on the en.wiki watchlist notices for ages although i guess that wouldn't help if you don't keep a watchlist.
Yep! You got it exactly :D

Actually, Jimmy wrote on his talkpage that he considers the proposal closed and successful, and that he intends to ask that the extension be enabled. He also wrote that any of those in the 40% that opposed the trial who wished to should formulate a compromise proposal in 7 days, to be voted upon within 14 days.
So if you would otherwise oppose on the poll, you should probably turn your attention to what sort of compromise would be acceptable to you.

"As an aside, I consider our BLP issue to be so important that I think it is actually unethical to not use a tool which holds great promise for helping with the problem, now that it has been successfully tested elsewhere. Anyone who would like to see this tool not go into practice needs to start by convincing people that either (a) it is ok for the BLP vandalism problem to continue or (b) there is a better way to solve it. Anything else, for me, is just a total non-starter."
Well. I'm glad we have such a neutral person in charge of these procedures.

now that it has been successfully tested elsewhere.
Where and what was capacity was the site? i know know about the backlogs and such it would cause on somewhere huge like en.wiki even with all the autoconfirmed users being "reviewers" or whatever the term that they are using for it is now.

As you can read on [[Wikipedia:Flagged revisions]], the other site was de. The stats are interesting; [[User:Hut 8.5/DEWP reviewer stats]], [[User:Hut 8.5/German editing stats]].

dewp, which I believe is roughly about as large as enwp was a year or two ago. It's certainly not just small-scale testing...
Funny how it supposedly closes tomorrow but it's already done and archived.

I've never liked the idea that a poll should ever be closed. It would be enough to make the subject matter implementable when certain pre-defined thresholds are reached. If at some later time a contrary threshold is reached, including an allowance for people changing their votes, the result could be reversed.
We chronically limit voting to those people who happen to know that something is happening on a current basis. There is also a steep cliff to climb for future contributors who weren't around when a distasteful policy was set.

Will these things be applied differentially to talk pages and articles?
I don't believe flagged-revisions was ever anticipated to be used on talkpages (or other "internal" pages) even in a full-scale implementation
FWIW, I did a radio interview yesterday about flagged revisions, on Chris Evans' show on BBC Radio 2:

(cheers to Chris Down for the transcript)
Hopefully I set out the controversy neutrally and accurately :-)

Seems reasonably good, although a lot of the opposition struck me as being on principle and not worries that it'll be 'applied to too much, too fast'.
