It tries to guess the date if it sees YYYY or YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD format in the item title. Now also looks for YYYY MM or YYYY MM DD, and looks for written out month names like Nov or November\n```\n=== vhfuhfdigestapri00unse_8\nTitle: Vhf-UhfDigest April 1999\nvhfuhfdigestapri00unse_8 already has a date field: 1999\nMy guess is: 1999-04\nEnter a replacement date, or return for my guess, or 'x' to skip.\n\nvhfuhfdigestapri00unse_8 - success: https://catalogd.archive.org/log/4583810060\n\n=== vhfuhfdigestdece00unse_3\nTitle: Vhf-UhfDigest December 1992\nvhfuhfdigestdece00unse_3 already has a date field: 1992-12\nMy guess is: 1992-12\n   ...which is the same.
