I have to say that I would be against any type of mechanism to protect
your user page, even if it is voluntary. I mean how can we expect people
to use wikipedia to research information, if we don't even trust the
system enough to let our user pages be edited. As I think Jimbo said, we
want to keep away from the feeling of owning pages. However much works you
put into an article, it is not yours. The whole concept of wikipedia is
anyone can edit whatever they want, now obviously with a user page I think
most of us would leave it be, but vandalism to user pages can be dealt
with just as easily as to encyclopedia articles.
