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&am…
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
