This user is a veteran Wikipedian among the top 1485 Wikipedians in edit count, editing since December 21, 2006, as a registered user. This user also holds the record for the longest current editing streak on the English Wikipedia since November 2007, the only one whose current streak began before 2008 and the top of the two whose current streak began before the SOPA boycott of January 18, 2012, despite participating in said boycott and the boycott is based on Eastern Standard Time as it is a United States congressional bill and all such bills are made in the capital of Washington, D.C., while the streak is based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), as with the rest of Wikipedia. Read more in the Wikimedia Diff blog entry here. This user is also featured in a major nationally distributed reputable newspaper of a G7 country (see below). You can also see my impact here: Special:Impact/Johnny Au. Note that the editing streak counter in Special:Impact is not accurate and Wikipedia:Database reports/Longest active user editing streaks is preferred as the latter also accounts for non-mainspace edits and I make many non-mainspace edits, while Special:Impact only accounts for mainspace edits.

Oliver Sachgau (October 12, 2015). "Meet the man keeping the Jays' reputation intact – on Wikipedia: With success, the Blue Jays entry has been getting more attention than ever — along with vandals — but Johnny Au stays on top of it". Toronto Star. Archived from the original on October 13, 2015. Retrieved October 14, 2015. [Johnny] Au spends an average 10 to 14 hours a week ensuring the [Toronto] Blue Jays and other Toronto-focused Wikipedia entries are up to date and error-free. He's made 492 edits to the Blue Jays page since he started in 2007, putting him squarely in the number one spot for most edits, and far beyond the second-placed editor, who has made 230 edits.

Please don't template me! Everybody makes mistakes, and this user finds user warning templates impersonal and disrespectful. If there's something you'd like to say, please take a moment to write a comment below in your own words.

Thanks for the invite. However, I am busy on that day as I have other plans. Oh, and I post plenty of photos of buildings under construction on UrbanToronto anyways, especially The One skyscraper in downtown Toronto, which anyone can see without needing to register. However, uploading my photos to Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons requires my permission as I took these photos on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. The One skyscraper, for example, I take photos of this building twice a week near the base of the structure and occasionally take photos of it from the Beltline Trail near Dufferin Street near my neighbourhood. Therefore, I must politely decline the invitation. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research survey

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a research survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be a Wikipedia Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10 to 15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
