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. On Sep 19, 2012 11:32 PM, "Roger Bamkin" victuallers@gmail.com wrote:
Tom, I'm not criticising you. I very often edit wikipedia to de-stress or whilst trying to resolve more difficult problems. The problem of demarcation can be a tricky one as to which task you are doing if you resolve one problem whilst doing another. If its a pure 9 to 5 job then it can be simpler, but many of us are finding a working day somewhere outside the hours of sleep.

Hi Tom, being busy means I don't have time to answer every email immediately. As you can see I try and get there eventually.
Actually I think you'll find that questions can be both rhetorical and facetious. However if I am creating or editting Wikipedia articles then
you
can be sure that I am not being paid and its in my own time.
I often do work for my employer outside of regular office hours. It is (in theory!) my own time and I don't get paid any extra for it. That doesn't mean I'm not working for my employer when I'm doing that work. Demarcation between paid and voluntary work isn't as simple as the clock striking 5pm.
