    Mostly language tags, but some other thoughtful work too. Great performance Maheshkumar.

    Also, nice to see Ed, Naomi and Benoit all in the top five. Great work folks.

     Longest Article Award  
    Biggest article updated this week

     

    This week's largest document to get some attention is an oldie but goodie : Available Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Plugin Messages by Jamie Miley.

    It's thanks to Maheshkumar S Tiwari's obsessive tag work that he's dug this one up for attention. 

    I remember this article from before, because of the cut off column. Someone really should try to fix that...

     

     Most Revised Article Award  
    Article with the most revisions in a week

     

    This week's most fiddled with article is another new arrival How to Rename a Windows 7 User Account and Related Profile Folder by TNJMAN.

    28 revisions, mostly his own, as he buffed this to perfection, but also tweaks from Richard Mueller, Naomi  N and Maheshkumar S Tiwari  

     

     Smallest Significant Edit Award  
    Size isn't everything! Every edit counts.

     

    Ignoring the addition of tags, this week's smallest but most valuable tweak is to How AD RMS Works by Jim Groves.

    It was by Santi Fernandez Muñoz, who realised it was missing the Other Languages section

    Cross linking articles like this is very important to us, and if you spot any such missing translation likes, please be sure to add them, in the appropriately formatted way shown above.

     

     Most Popular Article Award  
    Collaboration is the name of the game!

     

    The article to be updated by the most people this week is for the THIRD week running, is TechNet Guru Contributions for September 2013 by me!

    As the month draws to an end, we saw a rash of new contributions from NINE people

    Thank you everyone for contributing some outstanding work yet again!

     

    Another outstanding performance by ninja Maheshkumar. If you see any added value you can add to articles as you go through them that would be great too. Extra sections, suggestions for missing content, and especially "see also"s. We like to try and link everything to something if we can, so readers can browse further for related articles.

     

     

     

    One last article I'd like to mention is Top Contributors of Week:Records.

    A great collection of stats, thank you for doing this Maheshkumar, a great idea!

     

     

     

    Yet another record number of revised articles this week!
    Luckily I've had time to make some urgent adjustments to the crawler and it all worked this week!

     

    Best regards,

    As always, here are the results of another weekly crawl over the updated articles feed.

     

     Most Revisions Award

    #2 Naomi  N with 62 articles.

     

    #3  with 47 articles.

     

     

     Most Updated Article Award  
    Largest amount of updated content in a single article

     

    The article to have the most change this week was SharePoint 2013 : Installer un serveur en mode ferme (fr-FR) by

    tweaked this excellent French article on how to install SharePoint Server 2013 in farm mode.

      

     Longest Article Award  
    Biggest article updated this week

     

    This week's largest document to get some attention is Developing Integration Solutions Using BizTalk Server 2009 and Team Foundation Server by

    Again it was who tweaked it this week, but just look at the table of contents for this article...

     

     Most Revised Article Award  
    Article with the most revisions in a week

     

    This week's most fiddled with article is new arrival eDiscovery FAQ, by  which is "the process used by organizations to find, preserve, analyze, and package electronic content (often referred to as electronically stored information or ESI) for a legal request or investigation.".

     

     Smallest Significant Edit Award  
    Size isn't everything! Every edit counts.

     

    Ignoring the addition of tags, this week's smallest but valuable tweak was to Default Skeleton Server Services by Maheshkumar S Tiwari.

    Just one of his many, many edits this week, but rightfully highlighted, as adding the en-US tag and minor formatting is just what we need to keep this boat afloat.

    Thank you for all your hard work again this week Maheshkumar!

     

     Most Popular Article Award  
    Collaboration is the name of the game!

    More monster scores leading the charts again, with Maheshkumar way out in front.

    Naomi a respectable second but half the points. Half again to Richard & Carsten battling for third.

     Longest Article Award  
    Biggest article updated this week

     

    This week's largest document to get some attention is the most monstrous Active Directory: Get-QADUser Properties and Get-QADUser Full Help, by . 

    This is a third party application, but as it was recently tweaked by one of our veterans and is related to Active Directory I guess it fits?

     

     Most Revised Article Award  
    Article with the most revisions in a week

     

    This week's most fiddled with article is another new arrival T-SQL Useful Links by Naomi  N. This is a superb collection of links referring to many great sources of info that Naomi has found useful.

    A list of bookmarked favourites, so to speak. Naomi has also entered this into our monthly in the TechNet Guru for September competition. Good luck to you Naomi.

     

     Smallest Significant Edit Award  
    Size isn't everything! Every edit counts.

     

    Ignoring the addition of tags, this week's smallest but valuable tweak is somewhat controversial!

    It was the correct thing to do, no doubt, but on the face of it looks a little mean.

    It was by the hand of our almighty wiki leader,

    He "dehumanised" the article Progress of a Task in C# by Jaliya Udagedara by removing the sign-off at the bottom...

    Happy Coding.

    Regards
    Jaliya

    <sad face> It was the right thing to do of course.

    I just thought I'd let Jaliya know my coding will be that little happier, thanks to his contributions! :D

     

     

     Most Popular Article Award  
    Collaboration is the name of the game!

     

    The article to be updated by the most people this week is for the second week running, TechNet Guru Contributions for September 2013 by me!

    The month is in full swing now and we are getting some delicious morsels served up on our table, for us to savour!

    This week saw TEN people tweak, add and buff the submissions page: pituach, Timo Sö, Maheshkumar S Tiwari, Naomi  N, Ike Ugochuku - MSFT (IdM-FIM Consultant), PaulDAndrea, Steef-Jan Wiggers, Jaliya Udagedara, Ed Price - MSFT, SathyanarrayananS and Xyroid  

    Thank you everyone for such a great month so far. Keep the work coming!

     

     

    This week saw another monster, monster week of updated articles, again mostly due to Maheshkumar.

    Thank you to him, and everyone else for such hard work all round!

    Even the wiki crawler took an insanely long time to collate all the data for this week's article, which is why it is a day late :/

  • Friday with International Community Update - Lists of Wiki Articles in Italian and French

    In the TechNet Wiki International Council meeting this week, we discussed the progress of the top 10 non-English languages on TechNet Wiki...

    1. Portuguese - Represented by Luciano and Luiz
    2. Turkish - Currently by Gokan
    3. Spanish - By LeoPonti
    4. Persian/Farsi - By Patris
    5. Russian - By Dmitri and Denis
    6. Japanese - By Tomoaki
    7. Italian - By Luigi
    8. French - By Bruno and Yagmoth
    9. Indonesian - By Aris
    10. German - By Horizon Net

    See the August list of all 29 languages here.

     

    And we brought up the discussion of lists that show all the articles in the specific language.

    For example, here's the list of all the Italian articles (from Luigi):

    Articoli italiani su TechNet Wiki (it-IT)

     

    And here's a list of all the French articles (mostly from Hezequias, Gokan, and Benoit):

    Guide ultime des articles dans le WIKI (fr-FR)

     

    Are there other lists like those for the other languages? If so, leave me a link in the comments, and I'll add them here!
