thiemowmde added a comment. I find it exhausting to explain the same things again and again, to the same people.
We never said "Wikidata is a repository of data that make sense". You can store "foo" as an IMDb identifier. You can store "1 January 3100" as a date of birth. You can store "cucumber" as the gender of a person. You will be able to store "-99,000 feet" as the height of a mountain. In all these cases we already **do** some validation. You can not store empty strings as identifiers. You can not store "foo" as a date or quantity. Same here. We **do** some validation, but we can not make sure everything makes sense. We call these things "claims" and "statements" for a reason. Not "facts". "31 September 2014" **is** machine readable. As I said, I would love to have a discussion (like in "sharing actual arguments") about my proposal above: Implement individual ranges for each month. This would solve this ticket.
