I don't generally protect my user subpages because I'm pretty cool with other users making minor/adjustment edits for style reasons (see this edit as an example of one). That doesn't really extend to my signature, thought. I haven't protected that partly because it is transcluded on so many pages, so if something in it breaks and thus breaks those pages, I'd want someone to be able to deal with it right away. But yeah, unless that's happening please don't edit my signature. Thanks! Bob Moncrief EBDW! 17:40, 23 September 2013 (BST)
