Well. I was right in the middle of a lengthy edit, and tried to save it, and got a message access denied. I've tried multiple means of access. Wikipedia seems to be somehow completely screwed up right now. Fortunately, I had the (for me) atypical good sense to save the whole edit on 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.
