This is what I initially thought, but was told by someone it was not correct.

So to clarify things.

I get the contents of a page along with timestamp and edit token.
a delay
someone else edits the page
I submit an edit request with my timestamp and edit token and my new contents

in this case it will fail ?

Or should it be like

I get the contents of a page along with timestamp and edit token
a delay
someone else edits the page
get another timestamp of latest revision
Submit a edit request with my new timestamp and edit token and my new
contents

Best Regards

Jools
