'''In Memoriam''', also known as '''September 11 Wiki''', was a [[wiki]] dedicated to {{tag|People|everyone}} who died in the {{W|September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks}} of {{W|September 11}}, {{W|2001}}, in the {{tag|United States}}.
'''In Memoriam''', also known as '''September 11 Wiki''', was a [[wiki]] dedicated to {{tag|People|everyone}} who died in the {{Wp|September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks}} of {{Wp|September 11}}, {{Wp|2001}}, in the {{tag|United States}}.


The wiki was originally a {{tag|fork}} of [[English Wikipedia]].  It was created in October {{tag|FoundedIn2001|2001}} in response to a flurry of {{tag|Biographies|biographical}} pages for 9-11 victims that were deemed not to belong on {{tag|Wikipedia}}.  The solution was to create a separate ''Wikipedia'' to cover the attacks - [[Archive.org:20030413072718/http://Sep11.Wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Memoriam|Sep11.Wikipedia.org]] - a move unique in Wikipedia's history, and a sign of its still-uncertain scope and direction in 2001.  According to {{W|Wikipedia#Sister projects – Wikimedia|Wikipedia's article on itself}}, '''In Memoriam''' was the first sister project ever created for Wikipedia.  When the creation of new memorial pages for 9-11 victims died down on the [[English Wikipedia]], activity on the September 11 Wikipedia mostly ceased as well.
This wiki was originally a {{tag|fork}} of specific content from the [[English Wikipedia]].  It was created in October {{tag|FoundedIn2001|2001}} in response to a flurry of {{tag|Biographies|biographical}} pages for 9-11 victims that were deemed not to belong on {{tag|Wikipedia}}.  The solution was to create a separate ''Wikipedia'' to cover the attacks: [[Archive.org:20030413072718/http://Sep11.Wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Memoriam|Sep11.Wikipedia.org]]; a move unique in Wikipedia's history, and a sign of its still-uncertain scope and direction in 2001.  According to {{Wp|Wikipedia#Sister projects – Wikimedia|Wikipedia's article on itself}}, '''In Memoriam''' was the first sister project ever created for Wikipedia.  When the creation of new memorial pages for 9-11 victims ceased on the [[English Wikipedia]], activity on the September 11 Wiki mostly ceased as well.


Concern eventually surfaced that a wiki dedicated to memorials for the 9-11 victims violated [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia's]] mission of a collection of wikis with a neutral, worldwide point of view.  Discussion on whether to delete the wiki began in 2006.  On September 15, 2006, it was made {{tag|ReadOnly|read-only}}.  Sometime in 2007, the content was moved to its new location, www.Sep11memories.org, no longer hosted by Wikimedia.  The original Sep11.Wikipedia.org was finally {{tag|GoalAbandoned|closed}} on 22 June 2008.

In August 2010, the wiki was reported as {{tag|Dead|offline}}, and it has not been restored (as of March 2013).
