Ouch. Bit 'arsh. Do be fair to TD.

The page at Doctor Who was in a state of lockdown for the last half of 2013. It was only re-opened to editing on 1 January in a way that wasn't publicised. TD wouldn't have expected great changes to that article from its late 2013 state. I mean, it's not like people generally sit around reading articles that have been on long-term lockdown. We generally assume that if we read it on 15 December, and it was locked indefinitely, that it'll probably be the same on 4 January.

As I said upthread, if there is any source for the confusion here, it's me, not TD. I should have set the block to expire automatically on 23 November, but didn't.

Oh, and it wasn't "one of SOTO's first acts as an admin". It was one of SOTO's many acts as an editor. No administrative skills were harmed in the making of that edit. :)
