The editing conflict is to prevent the loss of valid information in the update of the entry data of the two versions whose submission times are too close. If A and B edit entry X at the same time, A simplifies and adds new content to X in a large length, while B only adds a new inner link to the text of the entry. A submits 10 minutes before B. If both version A and version B can be approved without any problems, the approval of version B will overwrite version A, resulting in the loss of valid information in version A, which is inappropriate for the enrichment of encyclopedia entries and user contributions.
