Miraak's race[edit]

First off, welcome to UESP. I'm sorry to welcome you in this way, but unfortunately, "Elf" is not a race. It's an umbrella term for a collection of races, and our race parameter in the infobox is for how the game labels an NPC, not how they may present themselves or how they might appear. Thus, we only include specific labels (Altmer, Dunmer, Nord, Elder, Dremora, etc.), and "Elf" is not one of those choices. I don't know why you keep trying to add it, as you're not using edit summaries to explain yourself. Maybe some dialogue or something in the game has led you to believe that he's an elf of some kind, but that's not how the game treats him.

Alfwyn, one of our patrollers, added his race as Nord, and it's apparently from the game data. It is not going to change at this time. Please refrain from trying to change his race again on the Miraak NPC page, or it will lead to a warning, and eventually a block if it continues further, in order to avoid disruptions to the site. Thank you. Minor EditsThreatsEvidence 08:24, 11 December 2012 (GMT)
