This user is a veteran Wikipedian among the top 1510 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, DC, 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).

Hi, Johnny! As many people have already noticed, your editing streak is absolutely amazing. And worth celebrating! I would like to invite you to be part of WikiCelebrate project, as someone who is celebrated. You can find the details at the page, but is just a simple way of telling the movement about amazing Wikimedians. If you would like to be one of the Wikimedians we celebrate there, please drop me an email: nszafranwikimedia.org. It would be great to tell the movement more about your wiki-work (It makes a difference, for example, because of you I feel more motivated to edit regularly on my volunteer account!). Thank you for the awesome work that you are doing! NSzafran-WMF (talk) 15:18, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I e-mailed you, NSzafran-WMF, as I am interested in being a part of the WikiCelebrate project. I would love to share my achievements. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 01:34, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I replied to the e-mail you sent me, NSzafran-WMF. I have also filled out the online form, clarified about myself and my role on Wikipedia, and included a recent photograph of myself that can be uploaded to Commons (in a nod to the 2015 Toronto Star article about myself and my contribution to the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team article, I wore a Majestic Toronto Blue Jays T-shirt and a New Era Jays baseball cap as seen on the right). Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 15:47, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have also added my photo to the top of my userpage because I am now considered notable within the Wikipedia community (but not notable enough for a Wikipedia article yet, despite there being a few non-WMF-affiliated reliable sources about myself as linked at the top of the page, including the Toronto Star article about myself). Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:28, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Found out about you through Twitter, just wanted to convey my admiration and awe for the work you do. godspeed. 2406:7400:51:9972:2996:BE3C:331E:6AF5 (talk) 17:27, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Johnny Au. :) I'm looking for people to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:33, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Clovermoss:  Done I have provided extensive details of myself for the interview. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:49, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happy First Edit Day! Hi Johnny Au! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 21:32, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for recognizing my Wikipedia contributions. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:05, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let everyone reading my talk page know that I am attending the event. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:39, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Toronto WikiClub 2024 event went well for me and made new friends there. I get to meet some Wikipedia admins in person including Clovermoss, OhanaUnited, and Xeno. The event came with a pizza lunch delivered from Domino's ordered by SophieWMCA. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:20, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

	The Real Life Barnstar
	Thank you for participating in Toronto's Wikipedia Day :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 18:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are very welcome, Clovermoss. I am very impressed with your Wikipedia contributions too, like the Ketchup chip article you have created that I find fascinating. I would not have imagined the article existing otherwise if it weren't for your amazing contributions, but keep up the great work! Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 01:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Johnny. Thanks again for attending the last Toronto WikiClub in January! If you want to help plan the next meeting, please add your name in the designated section of the WikiClub page. Please do not worry if you are not interested in the organizing aspect. We will keep everyone informed once the meetup is scheduled through the WikiClub page. SophieWMCA (talk) 16:16, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the offer, but I would wait and see first. It depends on where and when the meetup is scheduled as I have many commitments outside of Wikipedia. There's also the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, despite it being on a Monday and being at least ten kilometres outside Toronto's city limits on land. Not just that, but there may be various Pokémon Go events I would like to attend. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:13, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
