For someone in the public eye, no matter how properly they behave, a
person with an axe to grind can always spin an appearance of impropriety.
"The self-promotional aspect here (the degree to which MonmouthpediAis
clearly used by Roger has a way to advance his personal career) is real and
somewhat unsavory. Serving on a board of a non-profit oughtto be done first
and foremost to serve that organization's objectives,not to promote
separate business goals."

That is simply nonsense. There was no need to instrumentalise Wikipedia as

to derive personal income from these projects.
