So what's your suggestion for what her page should say? Because anything other than "January 2, 1979-December 31, 1980" is less accurate than that and includes definitively wrong dates.

It's different with something like Black Widow, where all we know is "1984". She could have been born anywhere between January 1, 1984 and December 31, 1984, but you don't need to write that in full because that is implicit in "1984".

But with Hope, you a) can't give a year, because she's one of two years, and b) can't say "1979-1980" because not every day in 1979 is possible, as is implied in that.

It's like Misty Knight. She was "5" on February 11, 1990. So she was born between February 12, 1984 and February 11, 1985. Not just "1984-1985", which would mean she was born between January 1, 1984 and December 31, 1985.

It's important for the "age" section. If Misty were just born "1984-1985", then she could be 32, 33, or 34. But since we actually know it's between February 12, 1984 and February 11, 1985, we know she can only be 33 or 34.
