She blocked this user while involved with him (edit warring on the same article). The user [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User%3ASoutherndata&type=block was blocked at 15:04, 28 June 2008] for so called "vandalism". In a few places Gwen Gale lied she edited the article only after the block. In reality she edited this article a lot before and after the block. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Noonan&oldid=2399161 Actually Gwen Gale wrote this article, when she still edited as Wyss], but let's see June 28,2008: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Noonan&action=historysubmit&diff=222286333&oldid=222286201 Gwen Gale] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Noonan&action=historysubmit&diff=222287525&oldid=222287133 was edit warring] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Noonan&action=historysubmit&diff=222288253&oldid=222288170 with the very same editor she later blocked].

She was not just involved. She was heavily involved, but nobody from arbitrators bothered to undo her action and at least warn her.
