In the databank, the Character and Starship sections, the insignia is often wrong. I see Admiral Ackbar with the Galactic Empire icon, and Admiral Daala with Rebel icon, and the B-wing is seen with an Imperial one. Is something wrong?

The symbols found in the databank entries denote the era of influence of the particular subject matter, and not allegiance. The circular sigil of the ancient Sith, found on entries for Yavin 4 and the Massassi temples, for example, indicate an era thousands of years before the birth of Luke Skywalker.
The Republic crest, found on the Supreme Chancellor's podium, denotes elements from the final days of the Republic. The Galactic Empire sigil denotes the timeframe dominated by the Galactic Civil War. The symbol on Admiral Daala's denotes her prominence in the New Republic era, while elements from The New Jedi Order-era are denoted with their own particular symbol.
