extended edit summaries
Hi - clearly there are issues you wish to flag in relation to articles about toodyay - it is probably better in your favour to put the lengthy commentary on the talk pages of the items, rather than edit summaries - the problem with extended commentary in edit summary space - it is a lot more easily lost, ephemeral - whereas a comment on a talk page is more retrievable - and consequently better stated where it can be seen.

Toodyay Barracks, aka Military Barracks, Police Station or Police Barracks
(Also pinging .)

"... two links on the opening page of West Toodyay ..." This edit to West Toodyay, together with these edits to Toodyay Barracks should address this.

Everett's cottage

To create a link to an article (whether it exists or not) just enclose the text in square brackets. If you edit any existing article you should see plenty of examples. And/or see Help:Link. If the article exists, the link will appear blue, else it will be red. Creating a link to a page that does not yet exist is OK - see WP:REDLINK.

In general you can create an article by clicking on a red link, or going to that page (eg using "Go" or "Search" buttons - may depend on which skin you're using; see Special:Preferences ) and clicking the redlink in the text "You may create the page ...", or see WP:YFA.

Note that some details of article creation may depend on your user rights. You have WP:AUTOCONFIRM, so you should be able to create an article. However, it may be better to create a user-space draft (e.g. A Cromb/Everett's cottage) to work in until the article is ready to "publish". A user draft is still visible to anyone who looks for it, so we can easily provide help with it if necessary, but is treated as a work-in-progress and not help to the same standards as an article. (Note: don't add categories to the draft. See WP:USERNOCAT.)

We can change the article title later if necessary, but it's worth thinking about whether the "cottage" should be capitalised or not. Generally it would not be, because it is a common noun, (e.g. Samuel Ferguson's cottage) but if the "cottage" is deemed by all the references to be part of the full proper name of the place - "Everett's Cottage" - then it would be capitalised (e.g. Connor's Cottage, Connor's House).
