I went and read on History of Wikipedia, and it does mention that Jimbo made the first edit, but I already knew that. That edit, however, was just a test. The very first article was created on the second day of Wiki (January 16, 2001) and it is not exactly of FA quality:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=UuU&oldid=291430
WTF is that? Yeah, Jimbo, if you know who created the first, reasonble article on Wiki, let us know. We could add it to the History of Wiki article.

I guess Jimbo seeded Wikipedia with its initial articles. Best would be to check [[History of Wikipedia]] or ask him.

Who wrote the first article and what was it about? Anyone who knows?

Anyways, congratulations on the great
achievement to
everyone.

The article is [[

This is a pretty big accomplishment. Good
job,
everyone. Our next
milestone
will be 1,000,000 featured articles,
sometime in
March 2050.
I think our next milestone will be 1,000,000
userboxes... sometime next
week. ;-)
Everyone don't party too much tonight, we
don't
need to have a huge
WikiHangover tomorrow. :)
