Hi all, thanks for an amazing mapping race. It's been a lot of fun!
While Portuguese maintained and strengthened its well-deserved lead, one language stands out as the new contender for the top spot: Bulgarian! From zero incredibly close to number one in a little over a weak, this has been the amazing work of, as Pablo said, "the Stoichkov of mappings". :-) The Arabic mappings also made great progress, thanks to Haytham, and Jimmy did a lot of work on the Basque mappings. Good job! The progression lines [1] have a dent on May 9 because I imported the latest Wikipedia template and property counts into our statistics pages. I also fixed the bug that many property names were displayed as "property name<includeonly>". I had expected many languages to make a great leap forward, since the corrected property names were now also counted, but I'm a bit sorry to say that that didn't happen. On the contrary, the percentage for some languages actually decreased, because the total number of templates and properties in Wikipedia increased. I really wished my data update had pulled your numbers further up, but instead it pushed them down a bit. Thanks everyone! Your work will be help make the upcoming DBpedia 3.8 release better than ever. :-) Cheers, Jona Christopher On Sat, May 5, 2012 at 5:07 PM, Jona Christopher Sahnwaldt <[email protected]> wrote: > Pablo, all, > > great, funny, motivating message! > > The race is still on!
