[WikiEN-l] We've Hit One Million

[STEFAN CLAUDIU TIULEA]

I went and read on History of Wikipedia, and it does
mention that Jimbo made the first edit, but I already
knew that. That edit, however, was just a test. The
very first article was created on the second day of
Wiki (January 16, 2001) and it is not exactly of FA
quality:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=UuU&oldid=291430

WTF is that? Yeah, Jimbo, if you know who created the
first, reasonble article on Wiki, let us know. We
could add it to the History of Wiki article.
