My resolve is unwavering on this matter.
As wikipedia grows, if you take no effort to increase the quality and nature of the connections between the articles, then u will eventually have to rely on some googlish mechanism, bag of words, vector space retrieval POS to try and extract data, as you are now.
My proposal is the solution.
You'll see the original discussions here:

If u would like me to clean it up, I can.
