your signature the following is a passage from wikipedia sign your posts on talk pages images images of any kind should not be used in signatures many concerns have been raised over the use of images in signatures and they are considered to serve no use to the encyclopedia project images in signatures should not be used for several reasons they are an unnecessary drain on server resources and could cause server slowdown a new image can be uploaded in place of the one you chose making your signature a target for possible vandalism and denial of service attacks they reduce searchability making pages more difficult to read they make it more difficult to copy text from a page they are potentially distracting from the actual message in most browsers images do not scale with the text making lines with images higher than those without they clutter up the file links list on the image page every time you sign on a different talk page images in signatures give undue prominence to a given user's contribution i believe you were not aware of this but please remove the image from your signature thank you
