We have bad data too.
Until very recently, a number of suburbs of South London had P31 =
battle, for no apparent reason.
(Presumably, because a parameter hadn't been updated in a script being
used to extract from templates or a category).
Battles (I think) are something that haven't been extracted very
systematically -- I was hoping for better coverage, because quite a lot
of the maps in the British Library georeferencing project are maps of
battlefields, but I found it wasn't very good. (Another problem even
then is that really I would have needed the extent of the battlefield,
rather than just central co-ordinates, and that information is currently
almost totally lacking).
Had Freebase done much extraction of battlefield info? I do rather
agree with Gerard and Tom, that I had hoped the Freebase migration would
have brought with it rather more of the information extractable from
Wikipedia categories.

(and to make it clear, it is unclear whether this is an error due to
DBpedia or due to the companies extraction framework, I was not diving into
the data)

Depends how good the DBpedia data really is - as the BBC article says,
some 2007 football match in the UK was extracted as a "Battle"...
