On sr.wiki we had an extremely positive experience when we organized a 
competition in article cleanup where the user who would clean the most 
articles up received a wikireader that was donated to Wikimedia Serbia. This 
has resulted in some 30% (total 300) of articles in need of cleanup being 
cleaned up, no user dissatisfaction known to me, and one very happy 
Wikipedian.
