Um. Aren't we here to make an encyclopaedia?  I think I'd made a few
hundred edits before I decided to add anything to my user page. From
memory, I added a few links to my favourite pages so I could get there
easily.  Even still, I have nothing about me on my user page - just
links, and two dreaded user boxes.

I would be more concerned about someone with no edits other than a user
page. That would be a MySpace candidate...
