For [[Oxygen]], the first edit logged in the database is mine, September 15, *2001*. However, when you click on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oxygen&oldid=271622
be surprised to find a link to "older version", pointing to an edit from September 2, *2002*:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oxygen&direction=prev&oldi...
When you keep following the "older version" trail, you'll end up at the conversion script edit of February 12, *2002*:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oxygen&direction=prev&oldi...
Simply explained, the "history" tab sorts edits properly by date/time, but the arrows in the "diff view" navigate through edits in order of "oldid" number (which doesn't always correspond). The latter should probably be fixed to match the former.
