Date format

 * 1) It is suboptimal to to have different date formats: November 28, 2015 and 2020-07-09.
 * 2) It's nice to have DOI and ISBN of a book.

 * It is an approved and standard format to spell out the dates when they are used for publication dates, and abbreviate them numerically when they are used for access-dates. That is why there is an option for the use-dates template to specify exactly that format. As for "nice to have doi and isbn": they could easily have been added in a way that did not repeat the whole title of the book twice in two lines and violate WP:CITEVAR. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:39, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
