Year zero doesn't make sense for Wikidata because 1BCE is stored as -1, so what 
0 would be? I don't see any actual year to be represented by it. If storage 
format changes then we'll need to change it, but then we'd also have to change 
all BCE dates.

If you need beginning of the October, then you need day precision. If you say 
month precision, you don't know if it's beginning, end or middle of October, 
thus you can not compare it with, say, October 1 or October 15.
