Wikilove the tool in particular, or barnstars/appreciation in general?

found productive people, gave half of them barnstars, and looked to
see what happened. - "receiving a barnstar increases productivity by
60% and makes contributors six times more likely to receive additional
barnstars from other community members"

had a general question about appreciation through barnstars etc, but
"do you like people
saying nice things" is not the most rigorous study ;-)
