TASK DESCRIPTION
  The property suggester keeps suggesting completely inappropriate human 
properties to me on items which are not humans.
  
  For example, right now, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q504582 has the 
properties
  
  - `P31` (instance of)
  - `P373` (Commons category)
  - `P625` (coordinate location)
  - `P17` (country)
  - `P18` (image)
  - `P935` (Commons gallery)
  - `P885` (origin of the watercourse)
  - `P1599` (GeoNames ID)
  - `P646` (Freebase ID)
  - `P214` (VIAF ID)
  
  Of those, 6 are generic and can apply to a variety of items, 3 are specific 
to geographical features and 1 is fairly generic but not usually found on 
humans.
  
  Despite that, if I go to add a new property, the suggested properties are:
  
  - `P131` (located in the administrative territorial entity)
  - `P21` (sex or gender)
  - `P569` (date of birth)
  - `P735` (given name)
  - `P27` (country of citizenship)
  - `P106` (occupation)
  - `P19` (place of birth)
  
  The first of these would be a good property. The other 6 are all specific to 
humans (and other living beings) and should definitely //not// be added to 
rivers.
  
  I can't see why it's so biased towards human properties here. I would expect 
to see properties relating to rivers (e.g. `P403` (mouth of the watercourse) 
would actually be a useful suggestion) or at least properties relating to 
geographical features rather than humans.
