Date formats

@Trappist the monk and Jc3s5h: I saw that you had been discussing date formats at Help talk:Citation Style 1, but it went over my head.

Here we have an article with {{Use dmy dates}}, and {{cite book}} using accessdate=1 July 1987. It seems faultless, but is showing an error, Check date values in: accessdate=

Please check what's going on with that parameter. – Fayenatic London 14:40, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Those dates are completely bogus. You can't have |access-date= before the start date of Wikipedia (15 January 2001). This is mentioned at Help:CS1_errors#bad_date (the help link in the error message).

@Trappist the monk: D'oh! Thanks.

For the record, user:Jonathansammy has fixed the errors by correcting the parameter from accessdate= to date=. – Fayenatic London 21:29, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
