Hurricanehink (hence-force known as me or I) is a Wikipedia user, member of the Tropical cyclone Wikiproject, and 2011 Wikicup winner. I first became an anonymous user on December 27, 2004. My first anon edit was to the Wikipedia sandbox, changing the word hello to Hello. This was to test that I really could edit the articles. Minutes later, I made my first mainspace edit to the 1969 Atlantic hurricane season by adding Inga to the lead for notable storms. For 8 months, I continued to become better at articles, during which I created my first article; 1949 Atlantic hurricane season. I also created 1939, 1925, 1924, 1923, 1909, 1907, 1905, 1904, 1903, and 1902.
On August 11, 2005, I became a Wikipedia user; my last name is Hink, and I like hurricanes, so I chose the name Hurricanehink. My first Wikipedia edit as Hurricanehink was a fix for the 1903 Atlantic hurricane season article. I am currently #3 on the List of Wikipedians by featured article nominations. A few featured articles that I did a lot of work to have appeared on the main page.

From The Signpost:
A number of editors continue to expand hurricane related coverage, with four separate topics listed (2003 Atlantic hurricane season, Florida hurricanes, Hurricane Isabel, and Retired Pacific hurricanes).
The "number of editors" clearly refers mainly to you. That's why you should get this. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 00:58, 1 February 2008 (UTC) |
