I've found these lists to be very useful for adding topics to types, and
Freebase suggest is a great way to find the lists. +1 for keeping these
lists around at least until the data are in Freebase. Coming up with a
common strategy for linking related Freebase table views and Wikipedia lists
sounds like a good idea too.
