I don't exactly understand the issue. I updated the information to reflect to current data and this 'edit war' thing comes up. what are people struggling to understand? Aussie information editor (talk) 05:12, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

I recommend you read and understand Wikipedia's policies about verification and synthesis. You cannot combine information from varying sources or do your own analysis of what the sources say, that is original research. Secondly, when you make a change, and it gets reverted, you are advised to follow the Bold-Revert-Discuss cycle rather than re-revert. Simply re-reverting without engaging in discussion to establish a consensus for the proposed change is by definition edit warring. You had ample opportunity to discuss the matter, but you chose not to. - Nick Thorne talk 01:34, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
