Possible Order Problem with Wiki

I wrote a few paragraphs for games that weren't very detailed but better than what they had, because they had nothing. Someone has already submitted a much better wiki articles before I did but I don't know because it wan't yet approved, and I wasted my time, which isn't really a big deal but it seems kind of weird. It might be nice to be able to see by clicking some link what people were trying to change the article too before it actually gets approved. Also, a question, if my worse description has some information the better one doesn't is it lost and I have to add it again later or does the staff try to incorporate these things as they are approving/denying it?

With the current queue size, moderators and staff are supposed to put your article in the moderator comment, and tell you to try merge it with the current article. You get the moderator comment by email though, so if you don't have that enabled, your article is pretty much lost.

I'm sorry if a mod didn't give you your article back though.
