Let's see, wizards in the campaigns I play or have played in recently are: -

# A human evoker (Mulan from Thay);
# A human transmuter (Vaasan from the Dalelands);
# My air genasi wizard (originally extraplanar in origin but spent most of his adult life in Calimshan).

Only elves that have been played are a moon elf rogue and my wood elf ranger/druid.

diaglo's response speaks for 2 campaigns I play in, his OD&D game and Olgar's 3.5 game.

In my online game we have a human wizard. We have had, in the past, a dwarf fighter/wizard and one of the first PCs was an elf wizard. They are both dearly departed.
 

Our High levell group went through a gnome illusionist, elven mystic theurge, and a human wizard /cook by the end of the campaign we only had a sorcrer. We averaged 1 death per game, and the wizard/cook retired after 3 of them, the theurge was eaten by a Balor.
(the damage lised in sig. was part of our revenge for this act)

In the new Campaign I am trying a gnome enchanter.
 

In the last two fantasy campaigns I've been involved with I have played human wizards -- a 2rog/7wiz in Greyhawk and 4wiz in Eberron (but he thinks he's a Dwarf). I have found that despite the favored class and all that for elves, the extra feat and skill points provided by being human are a better selection, particularily for magic using classes.
 


The campaign I DM has a human wizard and a (mostly) human warlock, converted from wizard when CAr was released.

The last game in which I played, I played a human Rogue 4/Thief-Acrobat 5/Wiz 1. Otherwise, no wizard.
 


No wizard in our primary game, but we have an enchantment-focused sorcerer. Since the rest of the group are all divine casters of one form or another (Paladin, Cleric, Druid, Ranger/Cleric), we're a little odd anyway. :)
 

I play a middle-aged grey elf wizard7/loremistress2 (I'm a munchkin).

In the same party, we have a gnome wizard5/summoner4 (summoner is the DMs homebrew class)
We also have a pixie rogue3/wizard2
 

My group has two multiclassed sorcerers. One is half elf and the other human. One elven wizard two levels higher whipped their ass pretty good last game session. As a result of seeing what a true wizard can do, I can see someone taking a wizard class next campaign. Though my players tend towards human.
