TechNet Guru Competition April 2016 Results

  • Artikkeli

All the votes are in!  

 

And below are the results for the TechNet Guru Awards, April 2016 !!!!

 

But first, a special message to remind authors that plagiarism will not be accepted on TecNet Wiki. We have a beloved member of our team who checks the articles every month for plagiarized text and we will remove those articles from the Wiki that contain anything that is lifted from somewhere else without permission. That plagiarizer will also go in both Santa's and our bad list for a while.

If it is your content that you are copying in from another site, or you have obtained permission, please state so in the article and provide a linked reference to the source, so that our checker (who will find a match) knows it's OK.

 

The TechNet Guru Awards celebrate the technical articles on TechNet, contributed from valued wiki authors like YOU!

Each month, the contributions are scored by a panel of judges (5 per category, 2-3 in each are MS experts), and the winners of each category are showered with love and attention from all corners of TechNet.

See the links at the bottom, to find out more about the competition and how to enter.

 

We have picked the top three highest scored contributions for each category to bestow our awards upon.

The awards are in gold, silver and bronze, the gold obviously being the top winner of the category.

The last column is just a few of the comments judges made during the judging process.

In some cases, we have not obtained permission to use the judges names, so they have been reduced to initials.

 

My fellow wiki ninjas will be digging deeper into some of these articles in this blog series, so watch out for those.

Starting this month you will notice some articles are marked as failing to meet our minimum bar for quality or content.

Any of our judges can exercise their right to veto an article, if they do not feel it meets minimum requirements for a medal.

When this is the case, we will at least give an indication of the reason, so you understand why.

A big thank you also to the other authors who did not make the top three of each category. Some articles only just missed out, so we may be returning to discuss those too, in future blogs. A huge thank you to EVERYONE who contributed an article to April's competition.

Hopefully we will see you ALL again in May 2016's listings?

 

If you haven't contributed an article for this month, and you think you can create a more useful, clever and better presented wiki article than the winners above, here's your chance! :D

 

Best regards,
Pete Laker
