BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE
    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1008236&group_id=34373&atid=411192
    Originally submitted by Nobody/Anonymous - nobody  2004-08-12 22:28


    (Is there really no Wikipage to discuss this first
before submitting a report?)


In
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump#The_B-Movie_Bandit
the possibility was raised, that the suspected
vandalism may be in fact a software problem which let
some users not see the newest version. And let them
overwrite it with an edited older version.

Now there was a similiar case in [[Unicode]], but not
with an anon, so you can ask him, what really happened,
see  [[User talk:Bletch]]

[[Pjacobi]]

Comment 1 Wil Mahan 2004-09-17 18:10:51 UTC 
On the talk page Bletch said "I am not sure if it Wiki's fault of a simple
oversight on my part". Since the only other evidence for this bug is speculation
about an anonymous vandal, this bug seems too vague to work with. Unless there
is a way to reproduce this bug, it should be closed IMHO.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2004-09-17 19:00:11 UTC 
Could have been accident or temporary caching problem which has since been resolved. Resolving as 
WORKSFORME since there is no further report of similar.
Comment 3 River Tarnell 2005-05-22 17:18:00 UTC 
CLOSED not verified, no evidence it's a bug.
