Are you serious? What's in it for them is the ability to participate
in the community of their choice, protected from the occasional
madness that is Wikipedia. And more to the point, *knowing* they're
protected. They would never have random strangers coming along
criticising their work (or if it happened, they wouldn't know about
it), or complaining that they used the wrong template or category or
something. (Not that that happens all that much, but perception is
what it is.)

How you manage the feeding process would be very interesting.
