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=…
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jupiter&dir=prev&action=history>
which takes me to the revision as of November 5, 2001:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jupiter&oldid=332461507
<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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia%27s_oldest_articles>
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2010-December/063088.html
<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
