    For future reference, TES Wiki is awful when it comes to lore accuracy. UESP is generally a pretty reliable source, but they don't always have everything. TES Wiki lore articles often just make stuff up though, or assumes things based on sketchy inferences.

    As far as I know, The Argonian Account is the only canon source that discusses the Nagas. As I said in my last post, it's not completely clear on the singular form, but it is absolutely undeniable that "Nagas" is the correct plural assuming you trust the in-world author of the text. And why wouldn't you? There's nothing in that text to imply he's untrustworthy, and a lot to suggest he has experience in the Black Marsh, and therefore a solid foundation of knowledge regarding its inhabitants.

    A for the double-spacing, try just copying and pasting maybe. If that doesn't work, you can click the HTML tab and check for any abnormal tags around the relevant paragraphs.

    Ok, well that will be handy to know in the future so thanks for the heads up. you'll have forgive me, i'm a history student, and as there is practically no evidence i wouldn't like to say i believe either. Pocket Guide to the Empire, 3rd Edition The War with the Trees: Argonia and the Black Marsh uses the term ""Naga" thugs" while the Argonian account says "Nagas" so really i don't believe we have a clear winner do we?
