As one of the contributors to the now-retired TechNet Wiki, I received accolades for publishing quality technical articles, guiding community members, and helping build a rich technical repository.
While the Microsoft TechNet Wiki platform longer exists, the impact and memories of those contributions remain a proud part of my journey.
Badges from Microsoft
As part of my active involvement with the Microsoft TechNet Wiki and the broader Microsoft technical community, I was honored to receive two Silver Contributor Badges:
-

Awarded for consistently contributing high-quality technical content to the TechNet Wiki — including articles, revisions, and collaborative knowledge sharing with the global tech community.
-
Silver MSDN and TechNet Galleries Contributor

TechNet Guru Awards
The TechNet Guru Awards is a monthly recognition program, which celebrates the technical articles on TechNet. The articles are contributed and nominated by wiki authors for the current month.
Each month, the contributions are assessed and scored by a panel of judges (5 per category, 2-3 in each are MS experts). From each category, 3 articles are chosen and are awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze Medal based on the article score.
