Description

See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=551077184&oldid=551077105. Somehow, Masem's creation of a new section managed to overwrite another user's edit. I suspect what happened is that both tried to save at the same time, and the mechanism to resolve save conflicts (as opposed to edit conflicts) is implemented incorrectly.
