| Mar 16, 2018 at 21:34 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @Scott, true, but after investing time in the edit, that would have been the practical solution. Few people are likely to kill the edit they just worked on, accept the proposed one, and then redo their own edit. Simultaneous edits don't happen all that often, so stuff like this occasionally happens. | |
| Mar 16, 2018 at 21:18 | comment | added | Scott - Слава Україні | @fixer1234: All right, maybe the OP didn’t click on “Reject and Edit”. Even in your scenario, they (knowingly) copied Thimo’s suggested changes into their edit. | |
| Mar 16, 2018 at 21:12 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @Scott, a slightly revised scenario: they were both working on it simultaneously. At Save time, the OP became aware of the suggested edit, perhaps because the original was open on another page or they got the automated warning of the conflicting edits. The OP then incorporated the other edits into their own. | |
| Mar 16, 2018 at 20:53 | comment | added | Scott - Слава Україні | This could, theoretically, be the case. But the edit by basin (the OP of the question) is an exact superset of the suggested edit by Thimo Demey (the author of this meta question); no part of the suggested edit was rejected or even tweaked. What is the probability that basin came up with exactly all the same changes Thimo suggested without looking at the suggested edit? IMHO, infinitesimal. | |
| Mar 16, 2018 at 16:05 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | This is the most likely chain of events and should probably be the "correct" answer. My answer is simply addressing whether or not the behaviour would be "acceptable" if it were done intentionally which, as you say, it probably wasn't. | |
