What?? was this unexpected?? If im not mistaken thats an advertisement on the front page of the WP!!
Is now the time to complain about anon/newbie votes?? No. The only gripe now is for somebody with dev access to roll up their sleeves and unplug the disposal from any dross and detritus that would (only naturally) come as a byproduct of putting a ninety-foot billboard up. -S-

OK, I'm a bit pissed. The first two voting "users" who I checked don't have /any/ Wikipedia contributions. They linked to their user pages on de.wiki so I checked their contribs;

Only contrib /ever/ was to create a user page
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Spezial:Contributions&target=...
No contribs at all for this account
This is beyond the pale. I hereby call for a recount and a validation of every vote; in order to have a vote counted each and every person should have to declare which Wikipedia they are a contributor to and to provide a link to their Wikipedia user page.
I'm not willing to propose what the defintion of a "contributor" is at the moment, but certainly the two "users" above do not fit the bill.
