The [[Doctor Who]] edit was one sentence of POV

articles which were started by this IP are trivial, light-hearted and
opinionated, but are about genuine(-ish) topics and aren't obscene. All
five edits made by this IP fall into the category of "newbie experiment"
rather than vandalism, and I think blocking was very harsh.
There were nine edits, not five (the other four were the creation of useless
articles). I thought, looking at the times, that two people used the same IP
address - one created [[Colin Baker]] and [[Jive Bunny]] and then the other
created the useless articles.
An article called [[of the]] containing "The french leader of the guerilla
movement in the 20th decade." does not look like a newbie experiment to me.
It looks like someone intentionally polluting the Wiki with silliness. An
article containing "Put your text for the aoeusnth page here" is a newbie
experiment.
If you think blocking was too harsh, go ahead and unblock the address.
