The article to have the most change this week was Editando tabelas direto no SQL Management, by Luciano Gusso
This week's revisers were Ed (DareDevil57)& Luciano Gusso
Now here's an odd one. The article is only on it's second revision. The original was published in the Brazilian version of TechNet, in Portuguese, yet the next version has been completely translated into English.
Looking at the comments, we see "Ed (DareDevil57) edited Original. Comment: added in tags", which is a perfectly normal thing for Ed to be doing, yet it seems to have been translated too?
A mistake maybe? Revert maybe?
| Longest Article Award Biggest article updated this week |
This week's largest document to get some attention is Exchange ActiveSync Client Comparison Table, by Adam Glick
This week's reviser was Durval Ramos
This slurpy slurp bundle of columns pack a load of platforms into one fat comparison table. Very useful, albeit a little broken on the right side formatting/width.
Why do some web designers think it's simpler to design for the smallest form factor?
So much of my wide-screen monitor never gets used these days, when I browse the web. So many pixels going to waste!! :]
| Most Revised Article Award Article with the most revisions in a week |
This week's most fiddled with article is Guide to Specializing Azure, by JoeyDj. It was revised 23 times last week.
This week's revisers were JoeyDj& Richard Mueller
Another excellent contribution from JoeyDj. A great check list for specialising in the omnipresent Azure. A must read for a must have.
| 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 September 2014, by XAML guy

This week's revisers were RSingh(), Inderjeet Singh Jaggi, saramgsilva, Anil Maharjan, Johns-305 [boatseller], Adnan Umer, Nonki Takahashi, João Eduardo Sousa, Mang Alex& Chervine
The article to be updated by the most people this week is Small Basic Known Issue: 26720 - Event Subroutines Should Be After They Are Registered, by Nonki Takahashi
So here we have Small basic known issue TWENTY SIX THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY?
Wow, a lot is known, and there are many issues, but the love is strong and the solutions ARE out there!
