I also gave my standard "WP:Canvassing is a stupid policy" speech: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=447912187

Perhaps he wants new account and a clean slate so no one would recognize him for his pro-PRC stance. He probably went into stealth mode. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=465333410 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...UtTCKz34ou7YDQX Quigley un-vanished himself and is back as "Shrigley". This isn't the first time Shrigley has his account renamed. He was formerly known as "Splittist": http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...ser%3ASplittist Shrigley was also formerly known as "WilliamWater": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contr...ns/WilliamWater I wonder what caused him to vanish in the first place?
