This user is a veteran Wikipedian among the top 1470 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 with over 6500 consecutive days since November 11, 2007 (over 17 years straight), 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; UTC is not to be confused with Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Read more in the July 2023 Wikimedia Diff blog entry here and in this January 2025 Wikipedia Signpost essay (with a Reddit thread here). This user is also featured in a major nationally distributed reputable newspaper of a G7 country in 2015 (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.

WikiClub Toronto Meetup January 2026

I signed up for the meetup and will attend it. However, it will very likely be crowded, given the number of attendees and the room booked. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 01:33, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It went well and I enjoyed my time at the meetup. It would be great if there were more options for lunch other than sandwiches and wraps. Previous meetups had a few pizzas with various toppings from Domino's. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:29, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ontario Northland bus connection at Highway 407 station

hi there just wanted to let you know the Toronto-York Spadina subway extension page under "connecting infrastructure" has been updated to include the Ontario Northland bus connection at Highway 407 station.

Have you heard the new regional transit connection announcers on TTC Lines 1 and 4 trains?

Hi Johnny, have you heard the recently added regional transit connection announcers - such as GO Transit, Ontario Northland, York Regional Transit etc - on the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Toronto Rocket trains on Line 1 Yonge-University and Line 4 Sheppard?

I believe these were added in December 2025 when Line 6 Finch West LRT opened for passenger use.

For instance Line 1 trains approaching Highway 407 station now say "Transfer for GO Transit, York Regional Transit and Ontario Northland".

I don't think subway train announcements ever announced connections with other regional transit systems prior to December 2025, they only announced the next station including transfers to other subway lines, and that was it.

The Toronto Rocket trains originally did not come with regional transit connection anmouncers even when they 1st came into passenger service in 2011 until a retrofit was made in December 2025. Alexscarborough (talk) 03:12, 14 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. However, it is best to find a reliable source as my word is not absolute. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 17:49, 14 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

here is the YouTube video clip that shows it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EWDFwzvsD1E Alexscarborough (talk) 03:30, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube is generally not a reliable source. Let me summon Joeyconnick and Transportfan70 as well for their thoughts on this as they are the primary editors for Toronto transit-related articles, while I mainly do minor edits. Thanks. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 16:14, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
