It is in the log. See [[Wikipedia:Block_log]], not
[[Special:Ipblocklist]]):

04:01, 7 Dec 2003 RickK blocked "203.51.60.29"
(repeated creaton of nonsense articles)
05:00, 7 Dec 2003 Angela unblocked "203.51.60.29" (Was
blocked without warning. See
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2003-December/008819.html)

I'm not saying it was necessarily wrong to block this
user, but it was certainly wrong to block him without
warning. He had only made three edits to an existing
article and created a new one twice. This isn't a huge
number of edits and they were all easily reversible,
so there was no emergency need to block him in my
opinion.  

Angela.
