Vejer de la Frontera data is wrong #101

Sorry if this is not the correct way to send this error but it is the first time I do it.

I'm testing dbpedia with several cities and worked fine. One of them is Vejer de la Frontera and I found that its dbo:country is "Cádiz" which is incorrect. The correct answer would be "Spain".

seems like this is intended in the mapping. see http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/Mapping_en:Infobox_settlement and search for subdivision_name maybe this is an error in wikipedia itself or just a very rare exception. see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_settlement

subdivision_type | optional | almost always Country subdivision_name | optional | Depends on the subdivision_type—use the name in text form, sample: United States
