"The standard practice is that if any change is disputed, the original situation before the dispute is kept until a solution is found."

I certainly agree on this. Check please here http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=chassis&diff=next&oldid=5989012 to see that my edit was the original one since January the 21st 2009 and stood almost unchanged for 8 months until this edit http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=chassis&diff=prev&oldid=10619395 (October the 4th) when it was changed without citation of reliable sources with the exact wording "probably from capere (“to take”)". As you can understand the author of that change states "probably" and, even himself, is not certain for his claim. There should be intervention from administrators for defending the original version until dispute is resolved with discussion.

When I reverted to that original version some hours ago my change was met with opposition by Equinox who stated initially "Nope, it’s from capio" which doesn't seem as a citation to me and then "What does the Greek word for "gulping" have to do with the Latin word for "box"?" (see http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=chassis&action=history) obviously a huge error (confusing the Greek "capsis" = little case and "cataposis" = gulping). In this point are those editors that must prove their claims and until then, the original version (as old of January 21st 2009) should be restored.
