Jc3s5h added a comment. I wish to point out this edit: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q692&diff=193453963&oldid=193042089
It creates a timestamp +00000001564-00-00T00:00:00Z But of course month 0 and day 0 are not valid ISO 8601 values. The proper ISO 8601 representation of a date with a precision of 1 year, in this case, would be +00000001564. The Z would be appropriate in the case of Shakespeare. Also note that the Z, indicating the time is UTC (Coordinated Universal TIme) should in general be omitted, because normally the date is the local time for the place where the birth or death occurred. Usually UTC is not appropriate because UTC was not created until the early 1960s, and editors (or especially bots) will usually not be equipped or willing to figure out the time offset between Greenwich and the place of birth or death.
