You call him blind, but I or someone else could just as easily say that you blindly believe the archive and the guides without referring to any other source. "The only problem here is that"  you're a stubborn hypocrite who can't accept any opinion that isn't yours, and have to continuously fight until you selfishly prove yourself right, regardless if the claim is true or not.

The reason you say it's not debunked is because you don't agree with it and can't tolerate someone else thinking differently to you. In your eyes - if someone does not strictly stick to in-game sources and lore books, like the guides or the archive, you can't and won't believe their information. That's ironic considering that that information is what the wiki puts up on their pages - where do you think the site gets its lore from? You can't imply either him or the site is wrong because not only would admins simply correct the page and remove any false edits, but it would also defeat the purpose of having the wiki at all.

You say anyone can edit it - what, did you come up with that by reading the main page's "Helping Out" section? If it's so open and free to contribute to and edit, then this entire site should be full of false information, spam, and misleading lore, except it's not - why is that? Well, duh. Of course when an ingame source contradicts someone fanfiction, it's obvious which is right and which is wrong.

The ingame one is right, just in case you couldn't grasp it.

Why is that? Because there's a mod team. Not every page can be maintained by a team of what, 20 people max? The wiki has 50000 pages, fanon on for example the Anvil page has been there since 2014, the Fourth Legion page stating that it's the Legion in Skyrim has been around until as late as 2015.

Not all the inaccuracies can be found, and if they are found, they are quite often linked with a template. If we look at the Orsimer page, that's exactly what it has when it's stated that they are a race of Elf.
