Awesome, thank you! I checked the WayBack machine, but must have done it
wrong.
Thank you Brewster!
And thanks Benjamin,
Denny

But it would still be nice to know that the archives are still maintained
by Wikimedia though.

Or even better, if there is a Web accessible version of these early edits.

I wanted to see the beginning of the article
about Jupiter.
When I go to Jupiter's revision history and click on oldest, I get here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jupiter&dir=prev&action=…
which takes me to the revision as of November 5, 2001:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jupiter&oldid=332461507
Given that the the article at this point doesn't look like this were the
original edition, I expect more history to be in the UseMod archives.
I remembered Tim Starling announced a few years ago that he found a few
old archives:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia%27s_oldest_articles
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2010-December/063088.html
Unfortunately, that link has gone stale.
Does anyone know where these archives are?
Cheers,
Denny
