Scraping a random Wikipedia article works for about 1000 iterations with Beautiful Soup until I get an attribute error

Question

Code I have used in a Jupyter Notebook:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

corpus = ""

for x in range(10000):
    URL = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random"
    page = requests.get(URL)
    html = page.text

    soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
    text = soup.p.text

    text = text.replace('[1]', '')
    text = text.replace('[2]', '')
    text = text.replace('[3]', '')
    text = text.replace('[4]', '')
    text = text.replace('[5]', '')
    text = text.replace('[6]', '')
    text = text.replace('[7]', '')
    text = text.replace('[8]', '')
    text = text.replace('[9]', '')
    text = text.strip()
    corpus += text
    print(x)

with open('Wikipedia Corpus.txt', 'w') as f:
f.write(corpus)

Error I get:

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
/tmp/ipykernel_8985/763917129.py in <module>
 11 
 12     soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
 ---> 13     text = soup.p.text
 14 
 15     text = text.replace('[1]', '')

 AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

Could this error have been caused by a temporary internet disconnection? I do not know why this code stops working after about 1000 iterations.
