Log Message:
-----------
Don't edit the operator's talk page if edit encounters errors

This is bad because
- this is fragile -- the edit routines don't do proper error handling
- this is annoying
- this might encourage operators to omit the operator parameter
to the constructor to avoid getting these notices
- this removes control of error handling from the developer
- this only deals with errors encountered while editing

Just remove it and let devs do the right thing.

Fixes gh-68
