User:MiasmaEternal/Good signatures don't necessarily make good editors

Sure, you have the ability to create a good signature in your preferences. But is it really indicative of your skill as an editor?

Short answer: Not necessarily.

Long answer: Let's explain.

What is the purpose of a signature, anyway?
From WP:SIGNATURES:"Signatures on Wikipedia identify you as a user and your contributions to Wikipedia. They encourage civility in discussions by identifying the author of a particular comment and the date and time at which it was made. [...] Furthermore, signatures also serve a technical purpose: various user scripts and talk-page archiving bots, including lowercase sigmabot III, rely on their time stamps to know when to archive old threads."
