To be clear, I'm not saying don't edit if there's no % data on the page. But if there's a % on the page, it may come from EQ emu data, which is the most accurate in theory data we have and likely more accurate than a playing experience. So in those cases, it's better to add a note saying "The wiki says this %, here was my experience killing 100+ cycles"

Quite frankly, with the way RNG is in this game I wouldn't even say that killing a mob 100 times provides a lot of clarity on spawn/drop chances. You only have to search these forums to see absurd variations in RNG...people taking like several hundred kills to get something and others getting it in less than 50 kills for instance. It's just all anecdotal so it should be noted as such if you edit the Wiki.
So what do you think is an accurate sample, what's an acceptable margin of error and do you think anyone in their sane mind would ever kill that many?

This is why it should be noted as anecdotal evidence
Which is exactly what I've done.
