> I'm getting editing locks on everything right now too.

Just a quick reminder: *anyone* can clear the editing lock by
visiting this URL:

http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?action=unlock

If the lock is stuck, it will take about 1 minute and then
return a message about a "forced" unlock.

Eventually I will probably make the locks self-clearing, or
possibly check the time of the lock and remove ones that
are too old.
