The first edit on Wikipedia was made on January 15, 2001, by Jimmy Wales, one of the co-founders of Wikipedia. The initial version of the site was created as a free online encyclopedia, with the intention of providing a collaborative platform for volunteers to contribute knowledge. The first entry was for the term "UuU" (which refers to a hypothetical language), though it was edited quickly and the content has evolved significantly since then.
