            Hello and welcome to Freebase!

            I noticed that you created a private capital city type and assigned it to the mythological figure "Paris" (http://www.freebase.com/view?id=%239202a8c04000641f80000000000783fc). I think the topic you were looking for was Paris, France, which is here: http://www.freebase.com/view?id=%239202a8c04000641f800000000002db30

            By the way, the Country type in Freebase has a property for Capital, so if you look at the topic for France as a country, you'll see that Paris is designated as the capital. We're trying to figure out the best to present the reverse information as you have done with your private Capital City type. Feel free to make suggestions if you have ideas for new types or additional properties for existing types. You can do that via Discuss on any domain, type, or topic page. Have fun!

              Oops, sorry! Yeah, I was obviously looking for Paris, France!

              By the way, I did not create the "Capital City" type, though I can see the value of something similar. The type seems to have been added by user "juniorbonner". I was looking to add a reference to "Paris, France" for the "Featured Film Location" property of the film "The Dinner Game", and picked the wrong Paris since it showed up as "Capital City" in the popup list.

              No worries. :) An upcoming feature would by default hide personal types so that the scenario you described (one person mistyping a topic leads to confusion about the topic among other users) would happen less frequently. Thanks for exploring Freebase.
