These won't be in the block log. The IP block list
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/special:Ipblocklist) records when an IP
is blocked because it was used by a blocked username, but these blocks
only last 24 hours and don't stay in the list for long. If RK tried to
edit while his account was blocked, these would show up in the IP
block list, but they would be gone from it shortly afterwards. If he
tried to edit, well, we needn't assume nefariousness: it could just
mean that he followed a red link or has "edit pages on double-click"
turned on; I know that switching that option on leads to the
occasional accidental edit.
