Dear Mehmet
you can improve / increate the data that are extracted from Wikipedia by
better mapping the infobox to the DBpedia ontology [1] [2]
This is a crowdsourced process that needs regular updates due to changes in
Wikipedia templates
Once you improve the mappings, DBpedia Live [3] will reflect all the
changes (within a short time) but dbpedia.org will be updated on the next
static release.
Best,
Dimitris
