The initial 6 month ban for Joesome (12 June 2013) was shortened to 1 day within 17 minutes and then just removed prematurely 6 hours later. I guess because they had posted on their talk page to say "sorry"?

His log refers to "nonsense/gibberish" and the 2 pages edited prior to the block were "Franz Gutentag" (regarding trivia "a reference to Dr. Joseph Mengele") and a controversy section on "It's Raining Luggage" linking to an article on The Sun.

I figure it relates to the first one since he talks about supplying proof for the relationship. The transcript included:
 * "If he pointed to the left, you did hard labor. If he pointed to the right, you died."

Page 2 of Mengele: The Complete Story published in 2000 appears to support that connection:
 * Death to the left, life to the right. Four hundred thousand souls - babies, small children, young girls, mothers, fathers, and grandparents - are said to have been casually waved to the lefthand side with a flick of the cane clasped in a gloved hand. Mengele was the chief provider for the gas chambers

Joesom's edit was certainly not gibberish (it was legible) and not nonsense, since it turns out to be 100% correct. All it was, was under-referenced. He probably should have linked to a citation like the above and directly quoted the episode transcript before adding something like that, so I can understand reverting the addition of trivia on that basis (the burden should be on people who add it to support it) but if blocks are being handed out to first-time editors simply because they don't know the necessity of substantiating the inspiration of characters, the summary for such a block should describe more accurately the nature of the offense, which was adding unsupported info, not nonsense/gibberish.
