Sorry, I really don't mean that to be flippant. Just pointing out that we could probably handle the proofreading within the Wikimedia network.
FYI: There's a project digitalizing the German Meyers Konversationlexikon from 1888 and most of the content in included to the German WP after proofreading and such. I don't know excact figures but google-search indicates that about 200 articles already were imported, though this is surely only a fifth of the real imports. * http://www.meyers-konversationslexikon.de/ * [[de:Meyers_Konversationslexikon]]
Personally I'm against buying encylopedias in the major languages from en: to pl: and would like to suggest to give WPs with less than 5000 articles an helpfull basis.
Images and drawings would be a very good thing, even more than text.
