Johnny Au <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User: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 <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/07/28/more-than-5700-days-with-wikipedia-meet-the-editor-who-has-been-editing-each-day-for-15-years/>or on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/WikiCelebrate/Johnny_Au>, as we WikiCelebrate <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/WikiCelebrate> his incredible dedication to free knowledge.
