Would be nice if the checker detected WFT on a date like this and gave slightly different error noting:

Alfred Turner, September 1, 1999, at http://www.genealogy.com/forum/general/topics/gen/1689/:

Actually, it is an estimated date or range of dates provided by a World Family Tree algorithm used in cases where the submitter did not provide a date. It is used to satisfy the database requirements of the World Family Tree Project has no basis in fact. For genealogical purposes it is best to ignore these computer assigned WFT dates.
