I argue that entering the timezone when no time for the event is provided in the source is valid. For example the White House web site <https://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/president-obama> tells us Barack Obama was born August 4, 1961 in Hawaii. We know that Hawaii standard time is 10 hours behind UT, and Hawaii does not observe daylight time. We can safely conclude Obama was born between 04:00 August 3 and 14:00 August 4, UT. Providing the ability to input a correct time zone allows the information from most statements in sources about births and deaths to be faithfully reproduced.
