So really, why write a story about it in <s>newspaper</s> the Daily
Mail? A friend vandalises my userpage. Do I use this as a stage to
attack him? No. I move on.
And Jerry Sanger, I ask you... ;-)

What caused this is writing an article about someone who is not notable
enough that the article would be read or watched. If it were not
autobiographical, at least the creator of the article might have it on their
watchlist. But as it is, who knew or cared? Our process depends on articles
getting enough attention that errors are noticed.

How much an article is watched is not necessarily related to how notable it
is. That said, it may be a relevant part of this case, but I haven't checked
the article yet, so I couldn't tell if it was the case.
