Topic: Past and future records
There are a number of records on the Atlas with dates that are seemingly improbable (past) or impossible (future):
(year followed by the number of records)
115 105
201 1
999 225
1000 697
....
2018 1
2019 1
2021 2
2022 1
2025 1
2027 1
2030 1
2031 1
2033 2
2034 20
2035 3
2036 29
2037 46
9999 2067
I haven't looked into all of these but here some observations:
- records with a date of '1000' mostly appear in the Balfour Browne water beetle dataset and I am guessing they use '1000' to mean 'Unknown'
- ditto for records with a date of '9999' from the Standing Waters Database - Scotland
- one record (1d703382-95b1-4103-b8ec-0b0ec09ee78a) I looked at had supplied the Event date end as 19/06/1927, the Event Date as 19/06/27, Date precision as Day and it's come out on the Atlas as Event date start 2027-06-19 and Event date end as 19/06/1927
- one record (a4686257-67e4-4553-8b15-1f95d6b188e4) I looked at appeared to supply no date information (blank fields for Date precision, year, month) but this is being shown as Record date Year:2031 Month:08 Day: ""
