Understanding "Wikified" language 

Hi, and thanks for taking the time to "Wikify" the language I added to "Ballast Point".
If you don't mind, I would like to ask a question so I can better understand this; I am new to this, still learning.
The background is that in the 1800s, the European settlement of the Sydney area was in its early days.  Place names were informal, and often duplicated.  There were at least two, probably three places on Sydney Harbour known as "Ballast Point" then.  This is what I attempted to clarify with my comment that it was another site also known by that name.  The revised wording gives me the impression that there was only one place of that name in the 1800s, and it changed.  So can you please indicate why the new wording is preferred, so I can adopt the best approach in future?
