And yes, of course there are core things in TES that definitely happened because we witness them in-game. But there are lots of things we don't directly witness (ie stuff we read in books, which could be biased, in accurate etc... because they are written by in-universe authors). As a lot of MKs stuff is presented as a book, written by an in-universe author, they too are fallible, just as Pocket Guide to the Empire is. The political party analogy works, but it doesn't invalidate MK's OOG contributions, it just leaves his work open to the same kind of doubt as any other. But that's the entire point. The Pocket Guide to the Empire is used by Bethesda, making it canon. However MK writes a lot of things that are NOT used by Bethesda, nor referenced by them. He's an ex writer just because he says something doesn't mean it's true by default. He doesn't speak with Bethesda's authority. Note: I'm not bashing him, he contributed a lot (mainly for Morrowind), but he's an ex-member and any work of his that's not used by Bethesda should be taken with a grain of salt. Agreed, it should be taken with a grain of salt. That is a bit of a step back from saying it has no place on the wiki. It does. But we flag it quite strongly as being OOG and needs treating with skepticism.
