 Actually, I have several notes for you;
-# I created accounts named for ''roles'' and not for people (e.g. not by name). For example, the account for our President, is [[User:President|User:President,]] not User:KevinVogtmann. It's best if we separate personal content, which you might find at User:KevinVogtmann from official by-the-president content that Kevin creates ''in his role as President.'' Think about what happens one day when we elect a new president: you wouldn't want "presidential" content on the wiki to suddenly be owned by the person who is no longer president. For these kinds of reasons, we want to separate the ''role'' of President from the ''person'' serving as President.

 # The same reasoning applies not just to CreatorSpace officers and board members, but also stewards and co-stewards.
 # I have pre-populated all the officer, board member, and steward pages with simple content naming the person serving in that role. The  page [[User:President]], for example, reads "Our President is Kevin Vogtmann ('''[https://creatorspaceteam.slack.com/archives/D06KDMXAZDM @kevin]''' on Slack). As President, Kevin also serves on the [[BoardOfDirectors|Board of Directors]]. Kevin also serves as [[User:ElectronicsSteward|Electronics Steward]]."
