Numbers are off throughout the paper.  They also quote 48M instead of 58M
topics for Freebase and mischaracterize some other key points. They key
number is that 3.2 billion facts for 58 million topics has generated
106,220 new statements for Wikidata. If my calculator had more decimal
places, I could tell you what percentage that is.
