[Data-modeling] Feedback on RABJ feature

[Iain Sproat]

The RABJ feature looks great, I'm quite excited about it, hopefully it makes
a significant dent in the typewriter
<http://typewriter.freebaseapps.com/>stats. :)
Unfortunately the 'add a type' button isn't shown when the RABJ dialog is
shown on a topic page, and a skip/ignore isn't available.  Which means I
can't type the topic as anything else until I answer the RABJ question.....
For example, I wanted to type the 4th Earl of
Howarth<http://www.freebase.com/view/en/william_st_lawrence_4th_earl_of_howth>as
a Noble person, but I'm being asked if he is a politician.  I can't
easily answer that as it's not explicitly stated in the wikipedia blurb
("peer" isn't necessarily politician) - it means I have to go and do some
research or take a guess :(.

Also, for a topic which is identified on more than two types the RABJ dialog
doesn't ask further questions for all potential types.  e.g. Adhemar de
Barros <http://www.freebase.com/view/en/adhemar_de_barros> is on both the
person and deceased person typewriter lists (and presumably the politician
list), but I was only asked if he was a person.

Looking forward to 100% typed topics in the near future!!
