It weren't just a poll. It was also a discussion in search for 
arguments. One big issue is question on how we decide what is or might 
be objectionable. From the point of an encyclopedia nothing is 
objectionable, as long it is a fact and represented that way.

Another issue is the questioning in comparison to the referendum. The 
referendum showed that the global community is divided. But more then 2 
weeks after the referendum we still have no results per project. This 
makes it impossible compare both polls and come to a conclusion what the 
reasons for the different outcome is: Where it just the (manipulative) 
questions of the referendum or does the German play a very different 
role in global context. Something we can answer. I asked for this 
results multiple times. But still no reaction whatsoever. This sucks.
