Rules for Editing With US Airdates
This page remains locked for editing, presumably because the episode has yet to air in the UK. However, it has already aired in the US. This does present a new situation here, as I believe this marks the first time that an episode in the Doctor Who universe has aired in America before it aired in England. And the US is ahead of the UK on this by a few days, not a few hours.
So, my question on this is, do pages for all episodes have to remain locked until they air in the UK? If so, what's the rationale for that?
