I think Hugh is once again mistaken, he means http://en.wikipedia.org, replacing en with your country code. However an edit conflict is easily replicated by opening your userpage in two windows, clicking edit in the first window and then in the second and clicking save in the second.

You can probably "force" this to happen by choosing an extremely popular article on http://www.wikipedia.org (such as the main one currently referenced on the main page), start a almost null edit, wait 30 mins and try to save.

Hello. Trying to find out what happens if 2 users to to edit the same article/section at the same time? Does the 2nd user get a "read only" access-type message indicating the article is locked for editing by another user? Or will one user's edits overwrite those of the second user? Thanks, Colleen Robledo
