| Most Updated Article Award Largest amount of updated content in a single article |
The article to have the most change this week was MAP: How to inventory your VMware environment, by Michael Switzer [MSFT CSG]
This week's reviser was Tyler Castaldo,
As the change comments say, Tyler "Updated screen shots to display UI changes in MAP 9.0." and also made them a lot clearer!
| Longest Article Award Biggest article updated this week |
This week's largest document to get some attention is T-SQL: FIFO Inventory Problem - Cost of Goods Sold, by Naomi N
This week's reviser was Naomi N,
What makes this such a long document is a whole heap of code, but Naomi is always meticulous to include plenty of discussion and references!
Also worth highlighting is this week's third largest document to get some attention, TechNet Wiki Featured Article Nominees, by Eric Battalio
This week's reviser was Ed Price - MSFT,
This is a list of articles anyone can add to, from which we often choose the front page Featured Articles.
The reason is is showing as so long is partly due to an unfortunate bug that has spawned row after row of line breaks!
I've left it for now to highlight just out of interest for the blog, but if no-one beats me to it, I'll try and find time to remove them all again later in the week.
| Most Revised Article Award Article with the most revisions in a week |
This week's most fiddled with article is Windows Azure Pack (#WAPack) and Related Blogs, Videos and TechNet Articles, by Hans Vredevoort - MVP (Virtual Machine).
It was revised 23 times last week. Revisers listed below.
What a wonderful find this was. An amazing list of links that I am steadily working through, and will probably take most of the holiday season.
A complete list of recent changes can be found here, and as you can see some devoted fans of the page have been helping to keep it fresh!

What an amazing year we've had!
I've certainly learned a lot, and made some great new friends, and discovered who the real players are in this MSDN & TechNet community.
A high five to all those who have risen through the ranks, invited into our inner circles, and are now involved in various projects we have.
Congratulations also to those who have won awards, become MVPs, been interviewed and generally promoted in life, due to their efforts across these many community efforts.
It is truly joyful to think [especially at this time of year] how many kind, clever and generous people we have in this community. Generous with their time, patience, and knowledge.
If you don't hear from me again until the New Year, then I sincerely thank you for your support, and wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
Best regards,
Pete Laker
