Just noting in passing that ascribing this to the gadgets that make up a personal profile...isn't always what is the problem. I don't think standard non-logged-in profile has any of these finicky bits, yet the same thing happens to users who are not logged in. All the time - half the time I find out about an overarching banner, it's from someone who knows I "do" Wikipedia, and they're complaining to me. I have to disabuse them of the idea that any editor is likely to be able to change this...
