Lawrence Shick's job title is loremaster.

Also, please remember that whilst MK did contribute a lot of lore at the time, and we DO have a lot of his work on the wiki (because it's elder scrolls related), its "Out-of-Game" references, so, it's not "official". (Or its as official as you deem it to be).

As for the Lore Bible?

Well, you have to remember that they are troublesome. For one thing, there is the publishing date. I own a copy of one printed for Doctor Who from just before the 50th anniversary. The 50th anniversary and the Christmas Special are not included - neither is the 13th Doctor. Thus, it is already outdated. There is not only the time of publishing that makes these problematic, though. Take Star Wars - there have been numerous almanacs and such for the Star Wars series. (Star Wars A-z, Star Wars Encyclopedia, those collection magazine things, etc). Then, Disney buys Lucas Arts and decides that most of the content in them NEVER HAPPENED.

On a final note though, our wiki *IS* as canon as it is possible for a wiki to be.

As much as possible, we reference everything that is up on our wiki, lore-wise. So if something is mentioned in a book in-game, theres a reference to that book (hopefully - if there isn't there should be, but thats a different story).

With any wiki though - the fact that anyone can edit is both a strength and a negative at the same time. It means more editors (and overwhelmingly, positive, meaningful contributions), but at the same time, there is no guarantee that it is accurate). Heck, the Imperial Library makes mistakes from time to time (being edited by humans :P). Although don't tell them I said that :)
