The Croatian Wikipedia is the version of Wikipedia written in the Croatian language. It's like a huge online encyclopedia where people can find information in Croatian. This special edition of Wikipedia started in February 2003.
What is the Croatian Wikipedia?
The Croatian Wikipedia is a part of the bigger Wikipedia project. It's built by many volunteers who write and edit articles. These articles cover all sorts of topics, from history and science to pop culture and geography.
How Big is It?
The Croatian Wikipedia has grown a lot since it started. As of October 2015, it was the 41st largest Wikipedia edition. This means it had more articles than many other language versions of Wikipedia.
In May 2013, the Croatian Wikipedia had over 137,000 articles. This shows how much information is available for readers in Croatian.
Important Information About Accuracy
It's really important for any encyclopedia, even online ones like Wikipedia, to have correct and fair information. In September 2013, a government official in Croatia, Željko Jovanović, who was in charge of science and education, suggested that students should be careful when using the Croatian Wikipedia.
This was because some people were concerned that certain articles on the Croatian Wikipedia might not always be neutral or accurate. They worried that some information might have been presented in a way that supported certain past political ideas. This reminds us that it's always a good idea to check information from different sources, especially when you're doing school projects or learning about important topics.
