Wha?[edit]

What the heck is this? Minor EditsThreatsEvidence 19:11, 24 December 2012 (GMT)

Errr...It's a fake interview written by Bethsda employees. At least, according to this.--Skyrimplayer (talk) 19:15, 24 December 2012 (GMT)
(edit conflict) Seems like some kind of official teaser information before Morrowind. From our main Morrowind page, — A fascinating interview with a Dark Elf from Morrowind (as written by Bethesda employees) concerning both his homeland and people., and the old site.

Oh, okay. I thought it might have been some fan creation that snuck its way on here. Minor EditsThreatsEvidence 20:51, 24 December 2012 (GMT)

() This was an interview with Bethsoft's own Alvur Relds, by Dave Humphrey, a.k.a. Daveh. Lukish (talk) 17:58, 25 December 2012 (GMT)

Perhaps an explanatory note would be prudent? Minor EditsThreatsEvidence 21:22, 25 December 2012 (GMT)
Reviving this, I vote for some sort of explanatory note on the page. Otherwise, like Minor Edits said at first, "wha?". — Unsigned comment by WoahBro (talkcontribs) at 02:43 on 11 May 2013
Agreed. An explanatory note would be practical. — ABCface 13:31, 10 June 2013 (GMT)

Date[edit]

I've restored some of the information that was deleted by a recent reformatting of this page. However, one thing I noted was that the date of February 15, 2011 was added to the article. As can be seen from the edit history, this page has been on the site since at least 2006, and I believe its true provenance is 1999. Where did this 2011 date come from? —⁠Legoless (talk) 08:16, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

The 2011 date came from this page, but looking at the Wayback archive the date on that page seems to have fluctuated over time. The real publication date is 24 April 1999, per this news update on the old site. —⁠Legoless (talk) 21:44, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
