I just spotted an edit ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Commercial_Orbital_Transporta... ) that makes me wonder if we just had a DB burp. The IP author appears to be responding there to earlier comments on Talk:Muhammad (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/213.6.228.77 ). I happen to have both pages watchlisted and have given a minor warning to the IP earlier today, and noticed the bizarre landing spot for the second edit...
It's not a DB burp, whatever it is -- I have a log entry showing that the URL used to save the page was for [[Talk:Commercial...]]. So the problem is further towards the client than MediaWiki -- i.e. apache, squid or user. My money's on the user.

Ok. My apologies for the false alarm then. Thanks for checking.
