What is a way to make sure that no one is editing your page at the same time? Don't be signed on to both usernames at the same time or else you might loose your data. If your wikispace gets deleted, then you have to go to history and revert back to the correct wikispace. You have to message each other and see who has been on and see who is doing it and who is not. It is easy if you just communicate. If your friend has a phone then call and make sure that they are not on at the same time as you are It's best to work next to your partners and make sure you communicate. When I worked on my project I always made sure that my partner wasn't on by simply asking her, "May I get on?" Also they have the page activity pop up sometimes. Like now I am looking at a popup that says page activity, other users editing this page- none. Now I know I am the only one about to edit this page.**
