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

 

The article to have the most change this week was Exam 70-462 - Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases, by Ed Price - MSFT

This week's reviser was Durval Ramos

Originally earmarked by Ed, but obviously two and a half years is long enough to wait, so Durval went ahead and filled it in

 

Ninja Award Longest Article Award  Biggest article updated this week  

 

This week's largest document to get some attention is Troubleshooting Windows Firewall with Advanced Security in Windows Server 2012, by DocGuy - MSFT

This week's reviser was Ed (DareDevil57)

A great article this one, well worth a flick through. Ed saw fit to turn it from US spelling to UK spelling. Hmm, not worth your effort Ed, it'd be like "painting the Forth Bridge" ;) Don't get me started on the "Pants"/"Shorts" debate again...

 

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

 

This week's most fiddled with article is Turkish Avengers Team Council Center, by Gokan Ozcifci. It was revised 29 times last week.

This week's revisers were Koray_Düzgün, Yavuz Tasci -TAT, Alper Yazgan - TAT, Hasan Dimdik - TAT, M.Ufuk TATLIDIL - TAT, Mustafa.Kaya - TAT & Nihat ALTINMAKAS

Always up there, these guys show an organised approach that would put a nest of ants to shame. Their tireless efforts shine through the dusk of shortening days!

  

As they often shine, I highlight this week's SECOND most fiddled with article is Guia de Sobrevivencia Windows Server 2012 e R2, by tcardoso1. It was revised 15 times last week.

This week's reviser was Jefferson Castilho

This R2 survival guide has had the loving touch from Jefferson this week. Lots of tweaks takes him into an award spot. Nice work Jefferson.

  

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

 

The article to be updated by the most people this week is TechNet Guru Contributions for August 2014, by XAML guy

As another month bursts onto the scene, many great names appear with their latest offerings of knowledge-cake! YUM!  

This week's revisers were XAML guy, Durval Ramos, Magnus (MM8), João Eduardo Sousa, Johns-305 [boatseller], Brian Nadjiwon, Andy ONeill, Darshana Jayathilake & pituach
