minor data.base cleanup

The new entry for 'shade' had "acrossthe" run together on the first
line.  While fixing that, I changed that entry to use two-space
separation between sentences and did the same for 'shield'.

I also made indentation for various attribution lines (new necessarily
new ones) be more consistent (two tabs, for for the data file format
and one for indentation, unless the line is wide-enough to warrant
shrinking the second tab) but burned out before getting very far with
that.  Also removed line split between "Dante" and "Alighieri" in a
couple of places.  Shouldn't split a name unless other alternatives
are worse...
