To view the original author of an article, simply click 'history' (on monobook) or 'view history' (vector) at the top of any article (monobook)/in the left of the search bar (vector) and you should see a sorting option 'newest/oldest'. Choose 'oldest' then scroll at the very bottom of the page. The first edit that you see is the original author of the article. If no such sorting option is available (meaning there is only one page detailing the history of edits of the page), simply scroll at the very bottom. I hope I understood your question right and what I suggested helps.

And to give you an example, I sorted by oldest the history of this article and scrolled at very bottom of it where I can see that, on the 14th of September 2011, Jack Phoenix created the article.
