Date format
Regarding this edit, the article is now listed under Category:CS1 errors: dates, because the day–year format currently used is not supported. As listed at WP:DATERANGE, the acceptable formats are day–day and year–year. I don't see any good reason for using January 1, because the map itself only has the date January 1977–8. If the citation needs to use the date the map was issued, then it should list January 1977. If if uses the dates the map was valid, then it should list 1977–78. It shouldn't mix the precision, because January 1, 1977–78 doesn't even make sense. kennethaw88 • talk 16:49, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't remember who it was, but someone from USRD had told me that, when the date showed "January 1977", it should be listed as "January 1, 1977". Has that changed? Charlotte Allison (Allen/Morriswa) (talk) 21:55, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's ever been the case. If you don't know the exact date, it's OR to choose a day. –Fredddie™ 22:02, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * It looks like the map should be cited with January 1977 and 1977–78. That would note when the map was printed (the date) while also correctly noting that the edition covers those two years.  Imzadi 1979  →   23:04, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing that up. kennethaw88 • talk 01:51, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
