and an add-dates.js template:

module.exports = (id, dob, dod) => {
  const claims = { }
  const wos = { P248: 'Q88552852' } // Women of Scotland

  if (dob && dob != "''")   claims['P569'] = { value: dob, references: wos }
  if (dod && dod != "''")   claims['P570'] = { value: dod, references: wos }

  return {
    id,
    claims: claims
  }
}

Then select the entire set of data, and bulk add everything to Wikidata using:

pbpaste | xargs -n 3 | wd ee add-dates.js --batch --summary "Add birth and death dates from Women in Scotland"
