No, Anakin's birth year is 41.9 BBY, and his conception is almost certainly (99.99%) within 42 BBY.
No, Anakin's birth year is 41 BBY:
And we haven't the foggiest idea when he was conceived.

Also, I'm not remotely speculating with these dates. TNEC specifies if a date is closer to the 0.5 or the 0.0.
I don't have my copy of the TNEC onhand. I'mma have to download it.
No, it's 41.9 BBY. The distinction is completely relevant. 41 BBY can refer to anytime in that time-frame. 41.9 specifies to where the meditation couldn't have done it.
I'm willing to speculate that it occurred in 42 BBY under the basis he was born in 41.9 BBY. It seems even Beni is likewise doing the same, despite supporting Plagueis.
Absolutely nothing indicates that his birth was sped up, whereas we know that individuals like Luke Skywalker and Allana Solo spent about the average time in the womb.

Spoiler:
The .9 isn't a year mark.
The birth year is factually 41 BBY, hence the image I repeatedly post.
Correct: Anakin's birth occurred within the year of 41 BBY. Which was 8 years before the Yinchorri uprising. Which, according to Plagueis, was around the time the ritual was performed. 😐

Luke Skywalker and Allana Solo weren't Chosen Ones born from parthenogenesis, though.
It's obvious that I have immense respect for you Gideon, but you're being absolutely brain dead here.
Okay, fine, 41.9 BBY refers to his birth date. Whatever. My point is that the the meditation happened prior to 41.5 BBY.
If it happened prior to 41.5 BBY, then Anakin Skywalker, born .4 years later, couldn't have been the product of it.
It's really not that hard to understand man. 😬
Likewise, given that his birth date was 41.9 BBY, the notion he was conceived in 42 BBY is almost absolutely true.

"approximate year of birth"
ap·prox·i·mate
adjective
əˈpräksəmət/
1.
close to the actual, but not completely accurate or exact.

If you read the years for the other characters, a lot of them have the approximation sign next to it, hence the comment.Note, however, that Anakin Skywalker also has a BrS date, which is even more in my favor. 👆
"List of approximate year of birth for major characters."
It applies to all of them.
And if you're referring to this sign "~" that's only next to Chewbacca and Jabba's name and that's likely because he didn't have the actual canonized years of their birth in front of him and couldn't say for sure that the years were correct.

That said, I'm just sitting here with metaphorical popcorn 👆
You're aware that the ".9" was added likely to further canonize Plagueis and Sidious's actions in the novel leading to Anakin's birth, correct?

Refer to Chaos' post then. 😬
And, again, Anakin Skywalker's other birth date is anything but approximate.

Regardless I don't actually care. Somebody will get Luceno to clarify and then the face will be over. I'm just using Ant's own logic to prove that even in this realm of dating errors he has no confirmation of what he so desperately wants.

I'm not part of this debate?
I'm shooting the shit and laughing my ass off
And bemoaning the nature of this forum's niche topic (as in, the general ******* wouldn't be able to identify what I'm trying to study) that I can't use these discussions for my thesis *shrugs*

I know but you did feel the need to declare your thoughts that the ".9" made it to specific for the approximate quote to apply. I thought that was indication you had something more substantial to offer to the overall discussion.

Likewise, I respect you too. The problem is, you haven't proven any of this.
I've spent the past several minutes peeking at every Star Wars related timeline that's available and it all comes back to the same place:
Anakin was born in 41 BBY and the Yinchorri uprising took place in 33 BBY and that's approximately 8 years that separate those events, which is the time Plagueis assigns for the ritual.
In addition to being a good novelist, Luceno is known for a very refined sense of Star Wars continuity. He made the circumstances of Anakin's birth in relation to that ritual a pivotal element of that book.
The only contradiction is the one you've manufactured.
