that behaviour happens quite often.
In fact the page i saved but the bot still tries.
n example of my bot trying to save an edit to page [[Polska]] on pl.wikipedia

>>> Polska <<<

Do you have any logs from the output? It might indicate if the server
said the edit failed, but it didn't in actuality. It could also be an
issue with the internet connection your bot has, as dropouts would cause
the connection to retry. Though I'm not familiar with the total internal
workings of pywikipedia, I can try and help. 300kb+ is big, but I would
like to think the servers could still handle it. You might want to put
adding notices to that users page on hold though, for the sake of the
size and them not editing in 2 months.

    Hi all,

    I noticed that SuggestBot's struggled with saving a user page earlier
    this week, see
    
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:The_Master_of_Mayhem&action=history
    
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:The_Master_of_Mayhem&action=history>
      Notice the larger number of saves that have a diff size of 0 bytes.

    I suspect it's due to the size of the page, 300+kB, is this a typical
    problem?  If not I can start digging to see if I can figure out what's
    going on. If it is a common problem, what are some typical ways of
    solving it?  Just checking the page size and skip/abort if it's too
    large?


    Regards,
    Morten
