Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
If regular editors revert edits, you must (a) utilise edit summaries to explain why you are reverting their reverts (b) be aware that it is better to go to the talk page of the experienced editors and have a civil discussion as to why they reverted your edits JarrahTree 04:46, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Regarding recent additions to Town of Cottesloe, Cottesloe, Western Australia, please do not keep re-inserting mention of a specific private company unless you can first provide some reason why that company is notable and of significance to the area. Wikipedia is not the place to advertise a business. See WP:NOTADVERTISING, WP:LINKSPAM. If you think the inclusion is justified, I recommend that you discuss the matter (here, or on the talk page of either article) and get consensus to do so before adding it again.
