Poi-DB uses an automated report system, so aside from minor bugs (usually sample size for these are single digit) the overwhelming majority of the information is correct. Its accuracy is higher than any human-based source since people are prone to careless mistakes. However, screenshot/API-based information would be the most accurate of all.

The enemy compositions threads have all their information sources cited accordingly, and anything that depends on a single source that cannot be said to be 100% reliable is marked with an asterisk visible even outside the editing interface. From my experience compiling the compositions, Wikiwiki is actually extremely inaccurate - it has conflicted with our screenshot and API sources, and with poi's automated-report source multiple times, while we have never conflicted with poi even once.

This was the only logically possible approach as disregarding sources entirely would lead to incompleteness (since nobody wants to visit some really bad nodes like E3 Hard node E), while simply copying from a source will make it impossible to verify later on. With this current approach, any registered wiki editor is capable of double-checking my work and correcting it if necessary. Even in cases where I am personally the source of the information I'm using, I upload it on the threads anyway specifically to ensure accountability.

I linked that particular source on Eugen after it appeared in the comment thread. While it is questionable whether or not it really happened (I left language very specifically mentioning that it might not be fully accurate), that claim made sense according to how KanColle works as so far, we have never had a system that completely bans redrops, only a system that bans redrops if the ship is in the fleet.

Re: armour-breaking, basically what Qunow said. Unless we have a source stating an impossible level of damage for a mere armour-debuff system (like AF's 411-damage hit on AD Hime Hard in Summer), there is no reason to believe the system is not an armour-debuff system this time around.
