 DS> Gibraltar is part of the UK.  Look it up.

 GS> You need to correct some Wikipedia articles, then:

Why would I do that (nor do I know how to do that).  I see nothing wrong
with the articles I have seen, nor what you quote, nor what I said.

 GS> The fourteen British Overseas Territories are: [...]; Gibraltar; [...]

So -- as you say, Gibraltar is a territory of the UK, i.e. it is part of
the UK.

 GS> The government of Gibraltar has actively worked to have 
 GS> Gibraltar removed from the list,[60] and in 2008 the 
 GS> British government declared Gibraltar's continued presence 
 GS> on the list an anachronism.[61]

That may be, but is also considerably later than the time I was talking
about from my personal experience in the early 1970's.  If Gibraltar
wants to become independent -- so be it, but what you quote implies that
has not yet happened.

 GS> And you also need to get rid of the fake TLD .gi where 
 GS> someone seems to spend all his spare time on making up fake 
 GS> laws:

I have no idea what you are talking about there.  I have no knowledge of
a fake TLD .gi.
