Roger, you're not getting it. Gibraltar are paying you to help get lots of
good articles about their country on Wikipedia. When you edit articles
about Gibraltar, as you have been doing, then regardless of what time it is
when you do it or your motivations for doing it, you are doing your paid
job.

Whether something falls under your paid work or not depends primarily on
what it is you are doing, not the circumstances of your doing it.
