I'm going to finally remove the dates taken from the fan-made files. To remind you guys what I resesarched last year:

There's a set of S.H.I.E.L.D. files that have been used as a source in a few articles on the wiki. But I have a lot of evidence to suggest they are fake. It's the images I've placed underneath.

So, Hawkeye and Fury's dates of birth should be removed from their articles. Natasha's date of birth should just be reduced to "1984" (which we're told in Captain America: The Winter Soldier).
 * 1) Every single date of births is the actor's actual birthday. Romanoff and Barton are exactly the same date as Johansson and Renner respectively, Coulson and Fury are exactly 3 years after Gregg and Jackson's respective dates of birth, and Hill is exactly 2 years earlier than Smulders.
 * 2) Coulson's date of birth is firmly set on July 8, 1964, with his badge in Marvel's The Avengers and Pilot, his obituary from Hot Potato Soup, as well as a behind the scenes image from Iron Man. So the date of birth is actually wrong.
 * 3) This suggests that Coulson's parents died exactly 5 years apart to the day. Another massive coincidence.
 * 4) The official files for Barton, the Tesseract, and Item 47 from the Phase One box set all have the Marvel copyright at the bottom. If you look at all memorabilia, there is a Marvel copyright. These do not have it.
 * 5) The images used are taken directly from the films/one-shots. Now sure, Marvel has used direct footage as in-universe footage before, but it's not correct.
 * 6) "Last known address: S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier", and "Previous address: Mobile" are informal and not like what would be in an official file.
 * 7) An exact second of death for Coulson isn't realistic or what Marvel would do when making realistic files.
 * 8) These files appear nowhere else. The only images we have are in this array. They're not from the Phase One box set. There is no source out there.
 * 9) In Pilot, it is clearly shown on Maria Hill's badge that her date of birth is 1982APR04, yet this file decided she has Cobie Smulders' birthday, on April 3, 1980.
 * 10) The Marvel Database lists Coulson's birthday, using the source of Pilot, and gives no other source. It lists Hill's birthday, using the source of Pilot, and gives no other source. It lists Romanoff's birthday as simply "1984", based purely on the source of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and gives not other source. It has no date of birth listed for Fury or Barton. They've recognised that these are fake.
 * 11) In One of Us, Coulson says he was "9" when his father died. This places the death somewhere between July 1973 and July 1974, yet this claims his father died in 1987.

I'll link this post in my edits for anyone who doesn't understand.
