Missing Damage Numbers

I'm beginning a collection of every single type of fully heated bomb. I want to help update the missing wiki numbers, but I have two questions as to how I should go about it:

1) Should I constantly update the talk pages of the bombs, or should I wait until I have multiple new numbers to update?
2) What should I do if I gather data contrary to what has been listed? I mean, I'm pretty sure my number(s) would be right, but I'm sure they thought the same thing. (As an example, see sealed sword talk page).

Hmm

Either way is fine. But I like to do edit in bulk to minimize the history, makes it easier to track the history.

If the damage data is wrong go ahead and change it, especially if you are sure you are right. The old poster probably just had a damage bonus on and didn't realize it.

Go for it! :D

If you're 100% sure your numbers are correct, feel free to update them on the bomb's actual page. BUT be sure you're testing at the lowest and highest depths of each stratum, and not considering what's in between. Also, ignore any numbers you get in danger rooms (due to scaled up foes) as well as some Kats in Scarlet Fortress levels (one of the Cravat halls) since sometimes one will take more damage than another. Another no-brainer, but be sure you're not using any damage modifying UVs or gear, because that will skew your results.

By what I can tell at-a-glance regarding the sealed sword talk page's table, depths 9 and 12 should have damage min and max values (respectively) for stratum 3, and depths 14 and 17 have the min/max for stratum 4. The fact that the original table is lacking damage values for depth 12 yet counts 13 leads me to believe he who gathered this info may not have been paying as much attention as they should, since the Terminal is at 13, not 12. So I'd also question their damage values. Anyways...

All I ask is please don't put "This damage table is wrong!" on the page if you find many values are incorrect (I had to revert such an edit from someone...). Just take the initiative and correct what you find to be wrong :)

Thanks for the encouragement!

I'll continue to collect data. I will work slowly, as I do have real life (yeah, I know, sad), but I will add to a page on my user page (here). I'll only update the talk pages once in a while, or when a specific tier is completed.

I did know not to do damage-modifying bonuses, etc. However, I did not know about scarlet fortress spookats, and I forgot about danger rooms, though my numbers haven't come from there yet, so I'm good.

Thanks for the encouragement, and I'll continue testing/adding.
