Yes, Ant, exactly. If this project is to be

I have a picture of Danny in my head from Wikimania 2005, but I
struggle to recall his surname.
Using first names (or handles or nicknames) only is a method to keep
the "in crowd" in, and the "out crowd" excluded.
Actually, Danny is also [[User:Danny]], and he makes it clear who he
is on his userpage(s). So I don't think using his first name is
intended to keep anyone out at all; unless you want to say "Danny
Wool, Wikimedia Foundation staff" every time you refer to him I think
that's the clearest way to refer to him among Wikimedians.

[[User:Mindspillage]], like the sig says
Point taken. But the match between "Danny at the office" and
[[User:Danny]] has to be assumed by a newbie. Here the start of the

Hi
Welcome to my page. I've been a Wikipedian for a while now. I have
recently been asked to help coordinate the Wikimedia Foundation
Grants Committee. For more information and ideas about how you can
help, please see Grants.
About me: I now live in St. Petersburg, Florida, and work fulltime
for the Wikimedia Foundation, helping Jimbo out where I can. In the
past, I have worked overseas in various media, including print, film,
and television. In fact, I still do some odd film work, which I enjoy
immensely.

And by the same token Jimbo, Danny, SJ, Angela, Eloquence, Athere...
we all know who they are.
