Could you describe what happened? What browser were you using? (By 
digging through the history of your talk page, which seems to have been 
the location of the problem, apparently you're using some version of 
Opera.) Did you see any error messages? Mysterious flashing lights? An 
odd humming noise? Burp in your net connection? _Anything_? Was there 
any particular text (or symbols) that you put in that edit that did not 
appear in other versions that were successfully saved?

The server logs are a little scanty, but it looks okay -- your 
submission was met with a 302 code (redirecting from the submit address 
to the view-article address). Just, your submission appears to be empty...
