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...
