I beg to differ. The Meinungsbild (German Wikipedia's equivalent to English Wikipedia's RfC) was rejected based on formal grounds. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meinungsbilder/Umgang_mit_bezahltem_Schreiben#Ergebnis Although some users argued in favour of respecting NPOV and avoiding COI edits, the substantial part of the Meinungsbild has mere informative character. In the end the result is a rejected Meinungsbild with inconclusive opinions for or against certain aspects of paid editing and a status quo of the existing COI policy http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Interessenkonflikt
