Hi,
for a dissertation study, I try to find a reliable datasource from where I can extract user account events, specifically creation and blocking of user accounts, with usernames, the event name and timestamps,
Is such data available? If yes, could anybody point be to where I can get it from?
Thanks a lot

Yes. Go to http://dumps.wikimedia.org/ You want to grab the pages-logging.xml.gz file.
Despite its name, it does contain creation (not for the very old account) and blocking logs for accounts.
