Any edit on an article, no matter how small, when someone else is editing it may cause an edit conflict just because you create a new version of the article, while the other person is still working on the old version. An edit conflict means that if I try to publish the page, I'll fail and be prompted to redo my changes or restore the old version and redo the new changes. Either way, the point is that causing an edit conflict may cause issues for the person. For example, reverting an edit from a mobile device isn't exactly that easy, while if someone decides to publish an edit just as you do yours... it's not exactly a pleasant surprise...

Sure I'm being a bit jumpy this time (highly related to the fact that I had to spend hours reviewing your massive editing sprees where you make one edit with a problem and it carries over through all of your edits, when if I reviewed that one edit before the spree of edits, all that extra work would have been avoided... and you just continue making another editing spree before I'm even done with the first, ignoring my indirect message that you're overdoing it..., so I am in a very foul mood), but the point is that if you see a hint that the person is still working on an article, you should ensure that they're not working on it AT THIS VERY MOMENT before editing the article. That's just common decency, which I hope we can maintain on the wiki. Or, as you can see, it may end up as a trigger for a conflict, especially when the other person is already not in the mood. I'd prefer to avoid conflicts when possible, so next time, please pay more attention to what people are writing.
