There are two issues going on here, as far as I'm concerned:
Revert an edit if it is not an improvement, and it cannot be immediately fixed by refinement. Consider reverting only when necessary. BRD does not encourage reverting, but recognizes that reversions happen. When reverting, be specific about your reasons in the edit summary and use links if needed. Look at the article's history and its talk page to see if a discussion has begun. If not, you may begin one. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedia abbreviations for a glossary of common abbreviations you might see.)
The result of this reversion is to leave the page in the state I found it - namely, a useless list of numbers. I assert that, in the absence of anybody willing to fill in information from "a more reputable source", my edit should stand and be edited in turn. Not simply erased because "oh, it's from that Navypedia place I don't like". DeMatt ( talk) 11:23, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
Upon reading the information available to me, I made the decision to remove V150 and up, limiting this page to what I understand are the TBs allotted in financial year 1906. The reason is because of the changes in design throughout the years:
This would then be accompanied by new 1907-through-1910 pages, each describing the new flotilla, that would fill in the gap between this page (1906) and the next existing one (1911). The S90 page would not need to be so divided, because of the uniformity of design in S90 through G136. G137 is problematic - it had the fourth boiler and the 8.8cm gun, like S138 - but should probably stay with S90, if only because of when it was budgeted and with which flotilla it remained. DeMatt ( talk) 11:23, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
Currently the article claims that the first set of boats, S138 to V160, used water-tube boilers, and later that all examples used Scotch marine boilers. But this is self-contradictory, since Scotch marine boilers are fire-tube boilers, not water-tube ones. -- Colin Douglas Howell ( talk) 11:19, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
