I have nothing but absolute respect and awe for people like you and him. Yes, these are positive externalities and most people will not get any personal benefit from it, unlike say writing open-source software which can potentially get the authors work, fame, and more. But don't think of this as a useless clean-up job but rather unselfish charity in the form of passive tutoring. It is true that the world isn't going to end without you editing Wikipedia but if everyone in your position did the same, things would certainly get a lot less informative. No one can force you to contribute your free time to any project but if you do have the desire, drive, and time to do so, I wholeheartedly thank you for it.
