ANI

There have clearly been several edit-conflicts leading to accidental blanking of comments. DuncanHill (talk) 11:54, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DuncanHill thanks for the message, my edit was reverted, I got the little 'your edit was reverted' message in my notifications. I know this doesn't happen when a comment is blanked, but if you know another way this works I'm unaware of please let me know :). Thanks again, John Cummings (talk) 11:57, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usually it happens when someone gets an edit-conflict and follows the instructions, instead of abandoning the edit and starting again. It can also happen without an edit-conflict notice. It's been a problem on ANI for years. It looks like you did it to another editor's comment too. DuncanHill (talk) 12:00, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DuncanHill thanks so much for explaining, I don't think I have ever written on ANI in the many years I've been on Wikipedia, sorry if I've accidentally deleted anything :) John Cummings (talk) 12:02, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's OK, and well done for keeping away from ANI for so long! DuncanHill (talk) 12:04, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
