  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.
