(I thought I had reported this, but after doing query searches for 5 min, I can't find it.)
Citoid should not assume something was published on the 1st of a month if DOI only gives "Month and Year". Example 10.1263/jbb.105.192 only results in "March 2008", but Citoid assumes it then was pubished on the 1st of March 2008 (2008-03-01). Citoid should not do that,[x] Put out years in year only format (i.e. but just add "March 2008" to the reference on Wiki.

10.1263/jbb.105.192 on CrossrefYYY)
>March 2008[] Put out all dates in a readable format (i.e. May 2010) in the date field to address the polluted data issue ASAP.
10.1263/jbb.105.192 in Citoid[] Possibly translate them on our end as well.
> 2008-03-01
This is a possible way forward for standardising dates which would occur over a longer time scale:
Similar issue with books containing only a publication year[] Write up a standard format for publishers' dates. Possible format: https://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/
[] Put the new standard in a new field called publisherDate in citoid for transitioning purposes.
[] See if any wikis are willing to use publisherDate. Each wiki would be able to decide if they want to accept the new format in their 'date' field, or if they prefer to have a separate field for it like 'publisher-date' or 'citoid-date'.
[] Assess if the standard publisherDate is now suitable for the date field and potentially replace it. If not, remove it. This bit is sticky if there is only partial conversion.
