The history on that page doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  The 
following record is typical of a sample I looked at:

http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000b8b27b8

I see a map with some positioned marked on it,  but I don't see (a) a 
name,  (b) any types,  or (c) an address.  Looking at the history it 
looks like somebody has been adding and removing types and data to this 
record,  but it's pretty confusing at first glance.
