You keep asking how they [signature books] help build an encyclopedia. But you also link to Wik.ipedia.Pro:Esperanza. I think that is your answer, no? Anything that builds a spirit of friendliness and co-operation and helps people get to know each other as human beings seems to me a good thing. Unlike divisive userboxes, the autograph books seem to just be about saying hello and being friendly.
