Wookieepedia is basing this upon The New Essential Chronology. Under the entry "Failing Republic, Thriving Sith," it is stated that Sidious killed Plagueis, and the date range for this entry is given as "52-46 BBY." This is where Wookieepedia gets its date from, and Anakin's birth, by necessity, is in 42-41 BBY to account for him being 9 years old in The Phantom Menace, seemingly precluding his creation at the hands of Plagueis.
However, the aforementioned NEC entry states "Palpatine... grew concerned over his Master's stated intentions to create life from nothing. The child that resulted from this Force miracle, Plagueis insisted, would be the living embodiment of the Force itself -- and at that moment, Sidious knew his Master was discussing Sidious' replacement. Soon after Sidious killed Darth Plagueis in his sleep. The work necessary to create a Force-conceived child continued, however. It is unclear whether Plagueis had initiated the process before his death, or whether Sidious instead implemented his former Master's scheme for his own dark purposes."
Later in the same entry: "On Tatooine, the slave Shmi Skywalker had given birth to a child more powerful in the Force than any other in history -- the apparent product of forbidden research by Darth Plagueis and taken up by Darth Sidious.. The boy, Anakin Skywalker, had seemingly not been conceived by a human father, but by the midi-chlorians themselves. Palpatine kept a close watch on Anakin as the boy grew. If trained as a Sith apprentice, such a child could be vastly more powerful than Maul." |
These quotes from Wookie are direct quotes from Jedi Vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force, so it is canon as of now -- until it's contradicted by future canon.
For myself, I agree with Padme. The midi-chlorians conceived Anakin, but no one knows at this point exactly what caused the midi-chlorians to do that. |
Wookieepedia bases Plagueis' death date off of the entry from the New Essential Chronology being dated those years. Anakin's birth is listed under that same timeframe. I'm just confounded how the Wookieepedia editor found those quotes, which outright say Anakin was created by either Plagueis or Sidous, and twisted it to say he wasn't. Which is frankly why I don't like the continuity crowd, along with these sort of arguments.
Also, I'm not sure what quotes from Jedi vs Sith you're referring to?
Personally, I don't think the Expanded Universe is even in a position to make a declarative statement about whether Anakin was created by the Force or Plagueis. I think Lucas purposely left it ambiguous, so I don't understand why the New Essential Chronology essentially said Plagueis created Anakin, or why the Jedi vs Sith book said the opposite.
I'm not a fan of canon debates like this either.

). Now who brings Luke back from the Dark side? Yes that's right Leia. A Skywalker. She brings Luke back from the Dark side and Helps him destroy Sidious once and for all. Fast forward another 30 years Legacy of the Force series and we see Darth Caedus rise up from the former Jedi Jacen Solo. We see him turn his back on his Family all together, his parents, his twin sister, his aunt, uncle, cousin, even his wife and child eventually. Bringing war to the Galaxy once again only his twin Sister can kill him. Yes Jaina Solo kills her brother to destroy the Sith and bring back balance to the force.
Thank you.
