Are the edits in accordance with policy?
Which policy? If someone inserts a sentence into an article without including a reliable source, have they broken policy?
My understanding of the case that triggered this thread (and please correct me if I'm mistaken) is that the user in question did not edit inappropriately (and was blocked because he self-identified as a pedophile on other websites).

Ryan's block wasn't the first one, or even the first indefinite one.
