Dictionaries! Wiktionary is the place where you still can give small "easy" contributions (as well as Wikiquote, but not bigger Wikipedias)
Do you have any examples of dictionaries that have been proofread in Wikisource and were found to be useful for Wiktionary?
No, I don't: this is a proposal. If I remember correctly, the Merriam-Webster dictionary imported by en.wikt was already available somewhere, fr.wikt imported something but I don't know what (I'm not even sure they did), ru.wikt imported some dictionary which I don't remember because it's quite difficult to find info on this. On it.source someone started http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Indice:Vocabolario_degli_accademici_della_Crus... obviously having Wikisource and not Wiktionary in minad (the 1623 Vocabolario della Crusca is the most important dictionary in Italian language history, but not so helpful for Wiktionary now). On it.wikt we found some PD dictionaries http://it.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wikizionario:Importazione_dizionari_PD from IA (by Google Books), and OCR is quite messy: http://it.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wikizionario:Importazione_dizionari_PD/Rigutin... http://it.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wikizionario:Importazione_dizionari_PD/Zambald...
