	==History==		==History==

			Although tricks from the wiper family like the infinity had been known since the year 2000, it was in November of 2002 when Tohlz from PenstudioZ named wiper and its reverse:

			“Wiper got its name from the idea of the car screen wiper (the thing
			which wipe the car screen when raining). The trick looks similar to a car
			screen wiper and can be link to other tricks. A very nice and simple trick for
			beginners to learn.”

			In Japan, the name ハーフウィンドミル (half windmill) originated some-
			time around 2002-2003, although its exact origin isn’t known. The direction of rotation of the Japanese half windmill is opposite that of a wiper. It was
			in none of the early web pages; its origin is in the bulletin boards. One of
			the earliest instances of the trick is from 2003, in a Shitaraba thread.
			One theory is that someone gave the name “windmill” to figure 8 so a single wiper became “half windmill”. Some spinners remember that use, and it’s also written down in Aysh’s wiki. Another theory is that the trick “windmill” was listed at some point in Hideaki’s website, so people speculated what half a windmill would be. However, there’s no trace on the archived version of the website of that ever happening. Another theory is that the mysterious “windmill” trick was a direct translation of the Korean 윈드밀 (windmill), which is a twisted sonic. This is unlikely since there are no other pen spinning loanwords from Korean in Japanese.
