A signature (from Latin: signare, "to
sign" is a handwritten (and often
stylized) depiction of someone's
name, nickname, or even a simple
"X" or other mark that a person
writes on documents as a proof of
identity and intent. But it seems that on nairaland signature means something else. Most persons (I don't knw if its delibrate or out of ignorance) mistake it for "favourite quote". This isn't facebook abeg. I'd rather you don't write anything there than ignorantly write "wise saying" (in most cases). Wise up.

@OP
the signature on NL is whatever represent that person, whatever that person stands by, however that person wants to be represented..... unless of course, you expect people to write their full names, duh!

signature, in this instance, is more like when you say someone has a "signature" move or a "signature" style.

Is that UR own definition of signature or the english definition? I wanna knw.

if you had taken the time to read the WHOLE definition that you copied from Wiki, then you would have also read the following: Similar to a handwritten signature, a signature work describes the work as readily identifying its creator.

so again, a signature can be anything that portrays the person, or that this person feels represents them..

you wish.

How does a "popular wise saying" define who you are?

Totally meaningless!! The Op must be a 2yr old or his brain cells are damaged extensively

And your signature.....?
