As an administrator myself, I tend to give people a chance and assume good faith. Blocks are meant to prevent harm to be done to your wiki, but they are not meant to punish a user. As such, I think it is important that you give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but that doesn't meant that you cannot keep a close eye on the user if you're worried about their actions due to their background on other wikis. As the others have stated, and especially Tupka's "you don't have to defend yourself. Though it's better if you can", I'd wait and see to see whether or not the user in question would indeed issue bad edits on your wiki as well. If you block them beforehand, you never know and in the end, reverting a bad edit and blocking when necessary doesn't take that long, but then you will have the added benefit that you at least have given him a chance to prove himself one way or the other.
