There wasn't a vote for, "Can you phrase the question to be
more misleading?"

"Is it ok to pay people to post or edit Wikipedia content?"
- I'd say it's easy to have wrongly interpreted that to be
a question about whether it's OK for Wikipedia to hire
editors/posters.  If you phrase it as, is it OK for
companies to insert undisclosed ads and PR into articles,
you'll get very different survey results.
