    • Naomi has been commenting to encourage more See Also sections.
  4. Feature Requests & Bugs - Ed Price (& Richard Mueller)  
  5. Spam, Plagiarism, & Article Deletion - Peter Geelen (& Naomi)
    • Peter and Naomi (and Carsten, Richard, and others supporting) have done some great work identifying and removing any plagiarized articles and spam!

  13. Wiki Ninja Belt Rankings - Ed Price (& Margriet Bruggeman)
    • Lots of work to do to add new belt holders, to update current belt holders, and to reward them some more.

  14. Collaborating with Microsoft Field Representatives - Brent Groom
