[Developers] Freebase data sources

[Tristan Buckner]

Hi Deepak,

To answer your second question:

All bulk image loads have, so far, been from wikipedia.  The  
freebase.com client has an image upload mechanism, and quite a few  
have come from that, but the supermajority (of the 679,346 images in  
freebase) have been from wikipedia.  Basically any images created by  
someone other than mwcl_images (our bot account for image loads) were  
probably uploaded via the the client, one at a time.
