I agree, every bit helps.

As for ignoring issue: I have a (somewhat badly formatted) edit notice  
telling people to please use the {{talkback}} temp, and sign/date  
their message. I finally put a message behind my user name telling  
people to use the {{talkback}} temp, since I suspected some people  
weren't even looking at my talk page, never mind edit it, and new  
people still don't sign their message. *sigh* Any solution for BLPs?
