The advice in this essay seems to be an admixture of dodgy and dubious.
The top piece of advice "Using short lines" is an example of a perverse incentive ... article sentence length should not be influenced by edit conflict avoidance.
The next two pieces of advice - multiple separators - seems like a bizarre fantasy.
The advice for 'Extremely busy pages' seems plain wrong; again, edit conflicts should not influence article design, including heading design.
This is not a helpful essay in any sense. It dispenses poor advice. It belongs in the bin. Tagishsimon (talk) 01:03, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - Some of this is technically absurd, and none of it seems useful. Useful advice on avoiding edit conflicts should start with identifying them as race conditions. This is no better than the rest of its originator's career as an editor. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:23, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
