If you do a web edit/pr, github will create a fork on your account for that PR... this happens to me if I do a quick readme submission (a few times a month) ... I go in every few months and constantly surprised the number of lingering forks I have. I really wish that if the fork was created to do a documentation edit in the web interface, when the PR is requested, if the only things in the fork are that edit, it would just vacuum it away for me.

Aside: I've also forked repos just to remember to look at them later. I really need to get in the habbit of curating my browser bookmarks better... I don't trust them though as the syncing has sometimes borked them.
