I took out my bad header formatting and corrected the tiny print bullet points. Finished for me.

I made version 14 from version 12 by removing the rogue "h1" and "h2" formatting tags.

the two paragraphs you moved further down are back up? If you do move them, they's need to be amended to fit with those nearby.

They're back where they were.

There is in fact no trace of me moving them in the first place.

Are people abusing the "minor change: don't save a new version" feature?

Didn't move any paragraphs at all. If they're the two that were at the end of the inserted piece, I asked about them above.

I'm talking about the existing two paragraphs immediately before the insertion.

"Public leadership..." and the paragraph in bold?

If those are the two you mean, I left them where they were in version 5 (writeboard 2) where Jérôme himself left them - before the insertion on financial costs.

I have now seen so many edits I don't know what they mean any more.

Jérôme, if the two paragraphs you mean are "Public leadership..." and the following paragraph in bold ending "...core topics of the debate", they were before the "financial costs" insertion in version 5 yesterday.

They seem better at the end of Section Two, leading on to the missing questions in the GP.

Should they be moved down there? (i.e. at the end, not the beginning, of the insertion?)

The text is now as Jerome left it.

In fact it hasn't changed, I don't know what he means about moving down and back up.

However, don't those two paragraphs make more sense at the end of the insertion rather than the beginning? Meaning, as a lead on to Section Three, the missing questions?

I saw a version (Migeru's) where they were brought down, which did make sense. I was simply suggesting to slightly update their wording to make them fit with the following sentences a bit better.

As far as I can see, these two paragraphs have not moved in any version.

I'm beginning to wonder how we see what it is we see and then we don't...

I did move them.

I'm wondering whether people tick the "minor edit" box when they shouldn't, or what a genuine edit conflict looks like.

Not to waste time on it, but your version 11 has them in the same place. If I inadvertently used my verson 10 that became version 13, it wouldn't concern your 11, presumably. And you put the drafts back on the right track in 14. Which has them in the same place.

The question is, is it right to move them down?

I did move them down. There is now no version that shows them down. I am puzzled by that, someone (maybe even me) must have overwritten the version that had them down instead of creating a new version. I think there's an issue with the "minor edits" or with edit conflicts.

Even a minor edit changes the name, I think I noticed (unless, of course, it's your own, as you say).

But I am beginning to wonder about conflicts, since we have had several that are really inexplicable.

I certainly didn't delete this financial costs piece by Jérôme, for example. I would not delete a piece as substantial without referring to the author. And when you pointed out that it was missing, I would have remembered and said I took it out for one reason or another. I wonder if he and I were editing close in time to one another and one version scrambled the other.

And Jérôme didn't see the version that resulted from your copy-editing, then mine...

I just deleted a double "the" in a minor edit, which changed the credits from Jerome to DoDo.
