Contributed to a notable Open Source project
I feel good and ethical: I just wrote an article on Dmitri Pavlovich Romanov for the Wikipedia.
Now I half expect a gaggle of enraged royalists, historians, and others with a vested interest to roll over it and tear it to bits. Unless it's so not interesting to the public any more that nobody bothers. Quite possible, what with the take general history has on poor Dmitri....
Of course I did it because I disliked the Dmitri-less state of the Wikipedia (there were actually red links with his name, calling for someone to write an article), but that is why anybody does anything in Open Source, after all.
And thanks to schiarire, a discussion with whom spurred my impulse to do it!
