That diff is for 8 May 2001 but if you look to the left the "older" (previous) diff is dated 25 September 2011.
The diffs are going backwards! I was trying to find the very first diff for [[[[Sony]]]]. I would have to do some major clicking to even get back to May 8. I have Windows XP Pro, Google Chrome Version 46.0.2490.71 m, browser, and the Vector skin. Please advise. Cheers! ~~~~
See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sony&diff=next&oldid=452510105 - those were imports of old edits.
Setting priority to lowest as this does not create any problems plus is from four years ago.
Interesting... If you go to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sony&action=history&year=2001&month=10&tagfilter= you see that the first three revisions have broken parent revisions set.

The broken parent revision is just for size diffs.
Sounds more like T4930
Import was https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sony&diff=452510106&oldid=452358134 and the next rev id on that page is now used for the prev or next link
This data from the oldest displayed diff says that 58,058b were removed on May 8:
11:19, 8 May 2001 198.133.22.xxx (talk) . . (260 bytes) (-58,058)
Where is the version prior to that where the data was removed from? I want to see the very first diff for Sony ... the day it was created. Thank you.
The first 3 revisions acutally shown in the history were imported back in 2011. Due to a bug in the import (T114806) the size diff information are broken.
The version of the creation was https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sony&oldid=280561 (which has a size diff from 0 to 406 bytes), the 3 versions before that are imported version, but I cannot say the reason for the import.

Not the case anymore for the link given; there is now nothing to the left (in LTR) for this first revision.
I'm going to close this task as resolved, but please reopen if I misunderstood something or if you see something different. Thanks a lot!
