If the article doesn't meet standards, and has this template, yet hasn't been edited in a reasonable amount of time, it should simply get deleted. There's no way to lock a page so that just the creator can edit it. The only thing that has worked in the past is the abuse of the protection feature by past admins. It was never meant to be used to protect personal articles.

People are posting to a wiki, which is designed to be publicly editable. There's no real way to prevent edits from other users. If a user is editing your page, they're either a vandal, don't know any better, or they're legitimately correcting something. All edits are reversible anyway, so there really shouldn't be any issues.
