Can't delete some articles, for example http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=242_skateboards&action=delete The database seems to be locked. Someone told me it already happened before. Note that our "Articles for deletion" page is also locked, saving is impossible and is extremely annoying. See, http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP%3AP%C3%A0S Error : Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Erreur de syntaxe dans la base de données. La dernière requête traitée par la base de données était : (SQL query hidden) depuis la fonction « Title::touchArray ». MySQL a renvoyé l'erreur « 1205: Lock wait timeout exceeded; Try restarting transaction (10.0.0.102) ».
This is a transient error, run it again.
Apparently this is continuous; some kind of stuck lock on the page entry. Got one of our MySQL guys helping look into this now...
This incident was resolved weeks ago. :D
