[WikiEN-l] Poll on 24 hour bans for revert wars

[Daniel Mayer]

This is a bit different than the 3-revert/article/day rule. This is a
6-revert/day set-up. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:How_to_revert_a_page_to_an_earlier_version#Policy_vote%3A_24_hour_bans_for_revert_wars%3F

The vote is not going well, but some people have proposed a neat alternative
enforcement of the new 3-revert policy: If you revert the same article more
than three times in one day, the page gets protected as the version you were
reverting. Thus your version gets pushed into the article's history. 

Not sure what would happen if more than one person breaks the 3-revert rule on
the same page or what would happen for repeat offenders on the same article.
But the above mentioned alternative has the advantage that it is a refinement
of current practice instead of something really new. More refinements can and
should improve the system in the future.
