Ed, I do have to say that the edit number isn't perfectly accurate. For some article edits I did notice that my profile activity feed indicated multiple edits when there should have been only one. Please have someone on the team look into this. With this said, last weekend I targeted and edited every article on the TechNet Wiki that contained one of the following tags:
"SharePoint"
"SharePoint 2003"
"SharePoint 2007"
"SharePoint 2010"
"PowerShell"
I didn't keep track of the number of edits, however I will say that it took hours to do and if it wasn't over 2k, it was pretty close. My guess is somewhere around 1900.
I will create an article on "how to find SharePoint 2010 articles in different languages" - makes sense to me.
Cheers,
Craig
