Flood flag for month items

It seems that there are a few thousand items like September 1837 (Q16676202) that need instance of (P31) September (Q123) and such. Requesting flood flag so that I can add the statements with Autolist. Thanks. --Yair rand (talk) 14:26, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Is this indeed a proper usage of instance of (P31)? In many languages I see "instance of" literally translates to "is a", which would look wrong to me in the use-case you pointed out. Vogone (talk) 14:34, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

I can't see why it wouldn't be. September is a class of months, and September 1837 is one of those months. September 1837 is a September. --Yair rand (talk) 14:39, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Likely, indeed. Vogone (talk) 14:43, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

@Yair rand: You are ready to go, as always, please remember to remove the flag again after you are done with your task. Vogone (talk) 14:46, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

 Done, thank you. --Yair rand (talk) 16:36, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Interesting point but although it sounds strange, I think Yair rand is right here. So I guess we can now easily get a list of all Septembers? Did you also add that statement for other months? -- Bene* ^t_a^l_k 21:23, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Only Julian/Gregorian calendar months (January (Q108), February (Q109), etc.). --Yair rand (talk) 21:41, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
