I've restored the UseMod-era (through January 2002) edit histories to the database. (With a few caveats, notes and exceptions; please see http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3AUsemod_article_histories%C2%A0)
The earliest edit retained in the database is [[UuU]] by an anonymous user at eiffel.demon.co.uk from 8:08 pm PST on January 16, 2001: http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=UuU&oldid=291430

Coolness - many thanks!
Now if Andre can rerun the user edit stats again then maybe we can get a better breakdown of stats. Hopefully at least Larry is close to my count -- if he isn't, then I must accept the fact that I really don't have a life outside of Wikiland. But then there still is the issue of UseMod deleting old histories, so we may never have an accurate tally.
