Jc3s5h added a comment. In response to Candalua's comment, consider that the Julian calendar was used in Europe. Outside Europe, some countries converted directly from a calendar that was neither Gregorian nor Julian to Gregorian. The Julian-to-Gregorian switch occurred at many different times in various European countries, and sources will usually use the calendar that was in force at the time and place an event occurred. Also consider that the dates that can be dated with a precision of 1 day have been increasing rapidly since 1582. Thus, a great number of dates to be added to Wikidata appear as Julian dates in sources. I do not favor having the software behave differently before and after 15 October 1582 because the need for conversion must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
