Well. I was right in the middle of a lengthy edit,

my local computer before I lost it all.
If you are afraid of losing edits, you should probably think about using
a browser that doesn't eat them. I don't know what browser you are
using, but if it's Internet Explorer, it is known to eat submitted form
data frequently; this really isn't Wikipedia's fault or in any way under
Wikipedia's control.
I use Firefox. When Wikipedia is down, I just press Reload a few minutes
later and it will re-send my edit.
