I think sometimes we do get too wrapped up in the numbers because we can
count them, and compare them, as a measure this is ever so slightly better
than edit counts. Let's be honest, anyone who can survive multiple weeks on
en.wp probably deserves a medal depending on the topics they haunt.

Looking at my own I see some streaks are interrupted by swapping between
projects and back again. Then as others mentioned before interruptions by
travel a lot of which has been to support, promote, encourage newcomers, or
do affiliate related work that isn't marked in machine readable boxes.  I
would say there are many people who have similar commitments, the fact they
dont edit everyday does devalue their effort either.

Lets enjoy the novelty value, let's value the effort it takes to have a
long streak while remembering it's taken a lot of dedicated people over 20
odd years to get to where we are, and the movement will need many more
dedicated people well into the future.

Indeed I believe my last break of an edit streak was when I was on a plane
/ connection without wifi for more than 24h (going from Europe to Japan). I
normally edit every day since I have joined (15-ish years now), but I am
not so much addicted to edit-count so that I would plan my travel taking
this into account or pay for the internet during the flight when I do not
need it otherwise. Still, nice to have these streaks having been

[Peter Southwood]

This is a bit like edit counts, in that it indicates nothing about the value of 
the edits. In a way it is impressive that someone is so dedicated, but all the 
guy at the top of the list needs to do to crash and burn is a couple of days of 
inability to edit for reasons out of their control, so some luck is involved. 

Cheers,

Peter

Johnny Au   has been editing 
every single day since November 11, 2007, which makes him the Wikimedian with 
the longest editing streak. That's more than 15 years or - more precisely - 
5733 days of continuous editing! 


Each day Johnny checks his extensive watchlist, which includes articles related 
to his beloved hometown Toronto. From local sports teams and art galleries, to 
Toronto transit system – Johnny is passionate about all things Toronto-related, 
and carefully watches over Wikipedia articles about it. He specializes in 
minor, maintenance edits: correcting spelling and language, reverting 
vandalisms, adding images and correcting mistakes.

 

The daily habit of editing and the pure love for Wikipedia, and passion for 
free knowledge, is what keeps him going. When asked about advice to share with 
other editors, he says: Never give up. Fight the good fight. We must fight 
against misinformation and disinformation.

 

Learn more about Johnny, his work (and this one time when his editing streak 
almost broke!) on Diff  

 or on Meta

we WikiCelebrate  
 his incredible 
dedication to free knowledge. You can also leave some kind words for Johnny on

Johnny is one of the great people that have contributed so much to bringing us 
to where we are today, and continue to do so. Each month we WikiCelebrate a 
different Wikimedian, acknowledging the amazing community, the pillars of our

If you know them, share some wiki love. If there’s an outstanding Wikimedian

Happy celebrating!

Here's a version of the streaks report that checked all wikis:
.
Johnny Au is still #1, beating all other humans and bots :) Ignoring bots, 
Bruce1ee (also en.wp) is #2. Kocurwaclaw from pl.wp is #3.

I should say that these reports are for the longest *active* daily editing 
streak. At least I never got around to looking for long 
non-active streaks, though it could be an interesting research project!
If someone has ideas on some SQL to look this up, happy to turn it into a 
proper report.

Hi, there is a tool that allows you to check your editing streak in any
project: http://streaks.toolforge.org/

Although I agree that in the Wikimedia spirit of being accurate in citing
sources this sentence may not be accurate, so I will change it on the Diff
post for English Wikipedia. Thank you so much for pointing this out!

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Who is the editor with the longest editing streak? Find out!

[F. Xavier Dengra i Grau via Wikimedia-l]

Bon dia / Hi,

Is there any available tool to precisely count how many days in a row a 
Wikimedian from a specifif project has been editing? The source that is linked 
in the Diffs page 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_reports/Longest_active_user_editing_streaks)is
 only within the English Wikipedia…

Has anyone checked that there is no other user in the rest of the other 
projects (hundreds of them) with a similar or better streak, so that the 
sentence “the Wikimedian with the longest editing streak” is fully accurate 
regarding both language and Wikimedia project?

Gràcies! / Thank you!

Xavier Dengra
