 * Similarly with your edits to Whangamata and Hauraki Rail Trail.- gadfium 01:47, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Please stop trying to change the subject of the article Coromandel Peninsula. You are welcome to create an article on The Coromandel, but as HMPhillips (is that you?) has argued at Talk:Coromandel Peninsula, these are not identical.- gadfium 04:25, 30 July 2019 (UTC)


 * No that is not me, although I do agree with her argument. The facts she has stated are correct, the "Coromandel Peninsula" article is extremely misleading and is full of incorrect information (clearly explained on the talk page). If you wish to leave the article as Coromandel Peninsula, you need to investigate the peninsula and edit the article accordingly. Although if you read the talk page you can see there is a clear agreement that the article is only to be edited if there is consensus about the change to The Coromandel, in which HMPHillips is told to edit the page (after a long debate) and her edits are then deleted. Please stop undoing her, my or other edits as they are factual and correct.  Dean.J.Gordon (talk) 21:32, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at coromandel peninsula 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&mdash;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&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
