"The controversy is the second to rock Wikimedia UK in recent months. In August the chair of the charity’s board of trustees, Ashley van Haeften, was forced to resign after The Telegraph reported he had been banned from editing Wikipedia for “numerous violations of Wikipedia's norms and policies”.
He allegedly mounted personal attacks and posted “highly inappropriate” links in relation to explicit material on Wikipedia. Although he resigned as chair, Mr van Haeften remains on Wikimedia UK’s board of trustees"
Surely this gives you something you could take to the press complaints commission or even further. In your shoes I'd be asking for damages.

The DT are reporting that Wikimedia UK has been "barred from
processing donations":

Can we get this error corrected ASAP? It's also in the Wikipedia
article on Gibraltarpedia.
(I haven't yet read all of the article)
