And, just like last year, I missed again.<br /> <br /> My goal was to grow the coverage to 50% - i.e. half of all the words in a Croatian corpus would be found in Wikidata. Instead, we grew from 45.5% to 47.9%. The number of forms grew from 4115 to 5506, more than a thousand new forms, a far bigger growth in forms than last year. So, even though the goal was missed, the speed of growth in Croatian is accelerating.<br /> <br /> Part of that growth in forms is due to [https://github.com/google-research-datasets/WordGraph Google's Wordgraph release], a free dataset with words in about 40 languages which describe people - both demonyms and professions.<br /> <br /> Do I want to set again a goal? After missing it twice, I am hesitant. Would I again reduce the goal further? But less than 50% sounds defeatist. But back to 60% is obviously too much. So, yes, let's go for 50% again. Let's see where it will take us this time. It's only 2.1% of coverage away from 50%, so that should be doable.<br /> <br /> * [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata%3ALexicographical_coverage%2Fhr%2FStatistics&amp;diff=2296112426&amp;oldid=2044020185 Changes in Croatian coverage in 2024]<br /> * [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexicographical_coverage/hr/Missing Top 1000 missing words in Croatian]<br /> <br /> {{tag|Simia}}<br /> &lt;noinclude&gt;{{simiapost|english}}&lt;/noinclude&gt;</div>
