- Wow. What a boring page to be the oldest in Wikipedia. No pictures, etc. And is this an advert anyway? Now that would be funny; the oldest page on VfD. --Lord Voldemort 28 June 2005 18:36 (UTC)

- This is the oldest version of the oldest page on Wikipedia. It is signed: "Written by Daniel Latch, 6/16/2002. At the time of writing, Mr. Latch was the Operations Manager of Nu-Wood Decorative Millwork, and "worked to create a more friendly and stress free work environment." —Encephalon | ζ | Σ 02:31:09, 2005-08-10 (UTC)
- Not quite. It's the one that was least recently edited, and it won't stay that way for long >:-) --Ihope127 00:20, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

- Ihope, this article's last edit was on July 10, 2005. That's not what Special:Ancientpages is measuring. I think it really is measuring the oldest recorded edit, but I don't think this article is actually the first that was written on a wikipedia project. This article was begun in 2002, and I seem to recall that wiki was launched a year or so earlier. What I think is happening is there must have been hardware/server changes, and the earliest that Special:Ancientpages can reach back is to this article, the previous ones being stored where it cannot reach/recognise. That's my semi-nerd theory, anyway, and I'm sticking to it. ;)—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 00:57:04, 2005-08-12 (UTC)
