This poll was not representative for wikipedia

Germa editors are not representative for German speaking people but far more

for German editors because only a few voted.
233 would be a *large* turnout on en:wp. What is a large turnout on de:wp?
Your arguments look to me like fully-general counterarguments against
*any* on-Wikipedia poll whatsoever, no matter the structure or
subject. What would you accept as a measure of the de:wp community
that would actually be feasible to conduct?
233 is a large amount for a poll on de:wp. But it was no democratic poll, because the
manner by which the poll was conducted was not democratic. A democratic and representative
poll has to be equal, common and private. The poll was not common because not every user
entitled to vote was noticed about the poll,
(example for a more democratic poll was the poll from the foundation in question
bildfilter: it was on an anonymous server and I was notified by email that I was entitled
to vote),
it was not private, because everybody can see who choose what. And finally it was not
equal, because there was no means to exclude the possibility of sock puppet voting (Which
is very common and very easy as far as I know - I know an unpunished such voting).
