Sometimes I wonder what happened, David. I recall you describing one of my posts to Foundation-l as the "post of the year" a couple of years ago:

What I am opposed to is poor content, BLP violations, or Wikipedia being abused for commercial and political interests.
That applied then, and it applies now. I don't think the average Wikipedian would have that much of a problem with that.

I would oppose any support from Wikimedia UK for targeted use of the Wikipedia main page to increase the visibility of projects like Gibraltarpedia.
What do you count as "projects like Gibraltarpedia"? Are you opposed to the entire concept of wikitowns? Or is it the specific circumstances of Gibraltarpedia you object to?
It is important to remember that Andreas is opposed to Wikipedia in general and to chapters doing anything.
