Before I dig too deeply into this with the tools, I am confused as to why the user was blocked in the first place... can someone explain the problem with their edits? Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (Message me) 12:06, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Hannah Grace Gallano was blocked for 60 hours for repeatedly adding unsourced details to a number of articles about living persons, despite warnings. The edits were problematic because not only were they unsourced, but the details were not corroborated by the corresponding Wikipedia articles, and so were unverifiable. --DAJF (talk) 14:12, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks to me like it was a newbie making good faith edits, and not reading the templated warnings that were dumped on her page over a grand total of six minutes. I'm sorry, but this block really wasn't OK: the edits weren't vandalism and the situation could have been dealt with by simple reverts and teaching the new user how to edit. That in turn would have stopped any sockpuppetry before it occurred. Given that the original block was, in my opinion, flawed, I'm closing this request.
