Wikipedia’s Infoboxes – Wikipedia

The datasets here are generated from intermediate dumpfiles prepared by DBpedia, “a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web.”

From Wikipedia’s ‘Wikipedia:Ten things you may not know about Wikipedia’:

It is in the nature of an ever-changing work like Wikipedia that, while some articles are of the highest quality of scholarship, others are admittedly complete rubbish. We are fully aware of this. We work hard to keep the ratio of the greatest to the worst as high as possible, of course, and to find helpful ways to tell you in what state an article currently is. Even at its best, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, with all the limitations that entails. It is not a primary source. We ask you not to criticize Wikipedia indiscriminately for its content model but to use it with an informed understanding of what it is and what it isn’t. Also, because some articles may contain errors, please do not use Wikipedia to make critical decisions.

• Mine template definitions (the actual implementation on Wikipedia) for better field descriptions and to cull spurious field values

• Also, use the template definitions to convert positional-parameters to uniformly named-parameters

• Many of these tables are “subclassed”—for example all of the infobox_olympics_[COUNTRY] templates. Help identify and unify these subclassed objects

• Tag fields with semantic information
