Perhaps we should put a link to that unlock command on the edit lock page.
We can say "Hey, please wait about a minute and try resubmitting, but if that
doesn't work, click on the link below to clear the edit lock, which will take
about a minute."
Does that make some sense as a short-term measure?

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.
