Less than this. Tell the user in question to shove it up his or her ass and go back to writing an encyclopedia. We do not, generally speaking, get this nervous about whether someone claiming to hold a copyright is lying. Until we up our copyright paranoia to that general level, you should be fine.
So wait.. We screwed up by blocking the user (and his four socks) who was claiming to be Trey Parker (of south park) and who was claiming to release southpark episodes under the GFDL?

Oh please. Cut the drama. If someone makes an unusual claim we can and should ask them to back it up via correspondence with the permissions queue. This doesn't deserve a goofy mailing list thread over the issue.
It's certainly not productive when the involved parties won't even provide a link to the discussion. Sean, Why must you ask the list to form opinions based on a one-sided retelling rather than just directing us to the discussion to read for ourselves?
