Dear Wikidata people,
I am trying to find out whether QuickStatements has found a way to define Julian/Gregorian markers on dates.
We have massive lists of dates for German and English territories after 1582 that are on the Julian calendar since they come from Protestant or Eastern Orthodox calendars that switch to Gregorian far later. Is there a way to mark the proper calendar on a QuickStatement input - which we could easily do with a look at our varius sources.
Best wishes, Olaf

Hi,
Sadly, no there is not. See https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:QuickStatements#Limitations

...I had seen it and hoped someone had solved the problem. We have thousands of people who will never meet, since they miss their friends arriving 10 days too late...
Magnus, I know, Christmas has passed, there must be a special qualifier.

Hi all,
For what it's worth, it's supported by OpenRefine: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tools/OpenRefine/Editing/Schema_align...
But only if you upload your edits directly via OpenRefine - of course not via QuickStatements export.
Best, Antonin

It's possible to switch these en masse using the wikibase-cli tool, which does support Julian dates - https://github.com/maxlath/wikibase-cli/blob/master/docs/write_operations.md... - so you could always add through QuickStatements and then do a run to update all your recently added statements into the new calendar model.
