If you want to train your own tagger, I could provide you with a corpus of  
3.5M words from Wikipedia automatically labelled with named entities:

24677   ORG
38976   MISC
69971   PER
118922  LOC

It's produced in a similar manner to what Renaud linked to, described in  
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.artint.2012.03.006 (a pre-print version is  
available at http://www.it.usyd.edu.au/~joel/aij-wikiner.pdf).
