That is an unexpected outcome. Do we have any idea of the proeminent arguments for rejecting the filter ?

Dear readers

Yesterday, on September 15th 2011, the German Wikipedia closed the poll
(Meinungsbild) "Einführung persönlicher Bildfilter". [1] It asked the
question if the personal image filter can be introduced or if it should
not be introduced.

A strong majority of 86% percent voted to not allow the personal image
filter [2] , despite the fact that the board already decided to
introduce the feature.

The questions are:
* Will the board or the WMF proceed with the introduction of the
personal image filter against the will of it's second largest community?
* If the WMF/board does not care about the first question. Will it
affect the way the personal image filter will be implemented? For
example: Not for all projects. A different implementation as suggested
inside the "image filter referendum".
* Will there be an attempt to follow this example and to question other
communities the same question?
