Not true. The
first other languages were introduced on March 15 and
could be part of this archive if the different Wikipedias were in one
database under UseMod.
My earliest recorded entry in de.wikipedia dates September 2001 (and I
have a low two-digit user ID, which was created upon the switch to
MediaWiki), so there seem to be some versions missing indeed. Do you
know the oldest preserved esit on de.wp?
Local lore claims it is your edit
<http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polymerase-Kettenreaktion&oldid=2613>
in Polymerase-Kettenreaktion. But I never checked that.
Do you
remember how this worked?
AFAIR, every language had its own UseMod setup. My import script only
took the last version; Brion later wrote one that filled in the
previous ones from the stored diffs.
That's unfortunate but only a small dent in the wonderful news that
Wikipedia has its very first (English) edits back.
