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.
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.

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.
