--- Comment #1 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- This is the way the bot works. It trys to put the page for several times which is given by maxretries in the (user_)config.py. Edit conflicts are detected (by the mw api) except you are using your bot account for multiple edits on the same page in the same time.
