The article to have the most change this week was Office 365-Nouveaux Entêtes pour les Bibliothèques de Documents (fr-FR), by Benoit Jester - MTFC
This week's reviser was Benoit Jester - MTFC
New in from Benoit, this is a shining example of his work. Another fine article explaining headers for Office365 library documents. Lots of scrummy pictures to make this a simple tutorial. Thanks as always Benoit!

Longest Article Award Biggest article updated this week |
|
This week's largest document to get some attention is Decoding I/O Control Codes (IOCTL, FSCTL and DeviceIoCodes) w/ table of known values, by Bryan S. Burgin
This week's reviser was Althea_MSFT
A monster dump of codes, to be sure, but a very useful debugging article that will help many.
Bryan includes plenty of context and instructions on how to decode these vital clues within a network trace.

Most Revised Article Award Article with the most revisions in a week |
|
We have three winners this week, all revising 12 times...
This week's most fiddled with article is Microsoft Message Analyzer, by Greg Gille - MSFT. It was revised 12 times last week.
This week's reviser was Greg Gille - MSFT
A great initiative from Greg here, to... "provide feedback about Message Analyzer Operating Guide topics"
Another great use of the Wiki, good luck Greg.
This week's most fiddled with article is Wiki: ASP.NET Portal, by João Eduardo Sousa. It was revised 12 times last week.
This week's revisers were Sandro Pereira & João Eduardo Sousa
A great start to another great portal, and I think this is one that could blossom very big!
Thanks João for a great start, and to Sandro for his experienced hand!
This week's most fiddled with article is Small Basic: Label, by Nonki Takahashi. It was revised 12 times last week.
This week's reviser was Nonki Takahashi
And another newie, this time from the famous Nonki.
Nonki is a leading authority on Small Basic (as is Ed Price of course) and this simple article is of his usual high standard.

Most Popular Article Award Collaboration is the name of the game! |
|
TechNet Guru May and June come first and second this week, but as they often win, I'll skip them this time to highlight another regular winner, from Gokan.
The article to be updated by the THIRD most people this week is Turkish Wiki Ninjas Blog Authoring Schedule (tr-TR), by Gokan Ozcifci
This week's revisers were Hasan Dimdik - TAT, Ersin CAN - TAT, Ugur Demir - TAT, Mehmet PARLAKYIGIT-TAT, Davut EREN - TAT & Gokan Ozcifci
The TAT (Turkish Avengers Team) are a hardy band of code warriors from Turkey that are second to none on the international avenging circuit.
Their technical prowess is the stuff of legend, and membership guarantees immortal fame on TechNet Wiki and across their tech disciplines.
If you think you are at the top of your game, and think you could give a little back [and you're Turkish of course] then look up this band of brothers.
If you're good enough, you could be accepted into the group!
