Nope oldest edit is 2001:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:UuU&oldid=291430
It seems that instead of IPs, they used hostnames.

Of interest is this edit to Nupedia from August 8, 2000 to the article Hydatius which I just found while trawling archive.org:
http://web.archive.org/web/20000817023612/http://www.nupedia.com/newest.phtm...
There is also a Nupedia edit on July 25, 2000 to the article atonality but its text is not available. I believe these should be considered the earliest edits in Wikipedia's history, the evolutionary differences between Nupedia/Wikipedia notwithstanding.
I also find it interesting that the articles on Nupedia and History of Wikipedia do not mention that before Nupedia was an encyclopedia it was a directory to sources of factual information on the internet, as is easily verified on archive.org. I wonder, given the controversy between Sanger/Wales regarding cofounderness, if the actual brainstorming and prototyping processes early on in Wikipedia's history are actually documented. That would require a Sanger/Wales collaboration.
