Why not make that part of the Wikidata game?
You could show the proposed description and the article lede, in the
user's preferred language, then offer options to:
* Accept the prosed description
* Edit the proposed description, then save it
* reject the proposed description and skip to the next article
For "en" users, you could add a check-box to "also save the proposed
description to "simple".
