It is possible in the current software for two people to edit the same page, and both to see their changes, and only one go into the database. This happened with Artiodactyla; Josh Grosse deleted a few lines at the same time that I added the new reference (which I have forgotten, assuming it was recorded) and Moschidae. Is this possible with the new software?
Also, the current software first displays the article, then writes the new timestamp, then writes the article. Does the new software use BEGIN ... END to make sure that the timestamp cannot be updated without the article, nor vice versa?
