That is an exceedingly good question. Where, indeed?
Well, one guy
asked Gwen about this block] and she responded she emailed to him.

Hi!
I found
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Funguy06#blocked but after looking through the edits, it seems like the user did make attempts to create encyclopedic edits. While it seems like the user had issues with image copvio warnings, it doesn't seem to match the block message. Some of the articles the user started are still there.
Would you mind if I unblock the user? WhisperToMe (talk) 07:26, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Hey! I've sent you an email. Cheers, Gwen Gale (talk) 21:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Gwen the bully, why not to respond in an open. (IMG:
smilys0b23ax56/default/hrmph.gif) It is a very simple question about a very simple situation. What are you afraid of?
In a meantime
I posted question to Jimbo's Commons talk pageThere was no response there.
And
The user is unblocked! Of course it is too late and too little, but still. As usually Gwen was dishonest. She
emailed to WhisperToMe, and told him she blocked the editor because of "image uploading issues, copyvios" at least it is what WhisperToMe wrote in their unblock edit summary, but here's the deal: first Gwen protected the article because of "excessive vandalism", then
she reverted an encyclopedic edit and in the very next minute she blocked the editor who made this encyclopedic edit with the edit summary "(Vandalism-only account: no meaningfully encyclopedic edits)". The editor was blocked not because of "copyvios" but because Gwen decided that an encyclopedic edit added to the article is "vandalism", and did not bother to check it neither before nor even after the block.
And now imagine yourself making not only a good faith edit, but an encyclopedic edit as well and getting blocked as "(Vandalism-only account: no meaningfully encyclopedic edits)" (IMG:
