Please note that my contributions to the Gulen article is no more than my contributions to other articles.
According to the contributions of Light&Truth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Light%26Truth ): The account made 11 edits to Fethullah Gülen (or the talk page). 7 more edits to user_talk and Wikipedia pages related to the controversy on the Fethullah Gülen page and/or the account's relationship to Rgulerdem. A few edits to the user page; and a total of 8 edits to any other page. Of those 8 edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? title=Speech_act&diff=prev&oldid=47905348 was changing quote marks; http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? title=Amoeba&diff=prev&oldid=47906593 was a good, useful addition (which I appreciate), http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk: Myosin&diff=prev&oldid=47908396 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk: Integrin&diff=prev&oldid=47908564 were apparently useful suggestions; http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? title=Ezra_Crack&diff=prev&oldid=54071880 was changing quote marks; http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? title=Papiamento&diff=prev&oldid=54072104 was apparently changing a space, or at least, nothing shows up on the diff; http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? title=History&diff=prev&oldid=54073468 was an apparently useful clarification of the def; http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? title=Cuiheng&diff=prev&oldid=54075558 was a small, but useful rephrasing.
Looking this over, it seems clear that the account was started on Wikipedia to participate in the Fethullah Gülen controversy (as over 50% of the edits are on that subject), but that the account holder is apparently honestly willing and interested in contributing to Wikipedia in other areas. Bringing new users to Wikipedia in order to sway the outcome of a controversy is justly frowned upon, however, on this evidence alone, I would recommend an unblock if, and only if, the account holder agrees to avoid the Fethullah Gülen controversy for a period of time (at least a few months, and maybe a year).
