Nupedia error from Wikipedia request
I have been trying for hours to find what two users who recently uploaded
files have contributed. Frustrated by timeouts in Konqueror, I tried Lynx and
got the following:

Sorry! 404 error!
Probably, you should log in!

The page you clicked on or typed in is not (currently) available.

Why? Various possible reasons:
* If you encountered this message while trying to get to or navigate
the member area, then probably, you are not logged in--so please
log in! E.g., you might be an editor and trying to do something
that only editors can do. Then definitely you should log in.
* It is possible that you are logged in, but you do not have
permission to see the URL your browser is pointing to. If you
believe this is in error, we'd like to know about it:
comments@nupedia.com.
* It is possible that we simply don't have the page on file. This
is always embarrassing, and we'd like to know about it:
comments@nupedia.com.

Whatever the problem, we sure hope it's fixed soon. We aim to please,
but we are overworked!

Please hit the "back" button on your web browser, or choose a link
from those listed above.

The command was:
time lynx
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/special:contributions\&theuser=Hellspawn
and it took about 10 minutes. The other user is Malkav.

Can you add an index on the contributor user ID in the table that logs who
contributed what? That should speed up the join in the database lookup.
