In Memoriam, also known as September 11 Wiki, was a wiki site dedicated to everyone who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, in the United States of America.

This wiki was originally a fork of specific content from the English Wikipedia. It was created in October 2001 in response to a flurry of biographical pages for 9-11 victims that were deemed not to belong on Wikipedia. The solution was to create a separate Wikipedia to cover the attacks: Sep11.Wikipedia.org; a move unique in Wikipedia's history, and a sign of its still-uncertain scope and direction in 2001. According to 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 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 15 September 2006, it was made 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 closed on 22 June 2008.

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

The discussion relating to the creation, move, and closure of Sep11.Wikipedia.org can be read at Wikimedia Meta-Wiki: Sep11wiki.

An earlier version of the generic Wikipedia 'globe'

Wikipedia – The Free Encyclopedia — is 'the free wiki encyclopedia that anyone can edit'.

The brainchild of American internet entrepreneur Jimmy Wales, among others, and the original 'project' of the subsequent Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), Wikipedia's stated objective is to have an officially 'neutral point of view' (NPOV) of its content. Sadly, many articles suffer from systemic bias; Wikipedia is often justifiably accused by people on one side of an issue of being biased toward the other side, and vice versa. This is true across political spectrums, as well as for many other issues and subjects covered. Wikipedia is the biggest fish in the global wiki pond, and receives far more traffic, and editing activity, than any other wiki site. However, despite Wikipedias' claim to being an 'encyclopedia', many academic institutes and other professional organisations recommend that Wikipedia is not used as a primary source of information, due to the fact that many articles are frequently incorrect, and can be routinely adversely biased. Furthermore, many Wikipedia articles have a seemingly extremely low threshold of 'reliable source' references and citations. Indeed, many Wikipedia articles fail their own verifiability criteria, and can remain for many years without any citations, despite highly visible warning banners highlighting the lack of said citations (and threatening to delete said unreferenced articles); this even includes biographical articles for living people. Also, the English Wikipedia allows articles to be 'promoted' to a good article (GA) status; despite failing their own criteria on having adequate reliable source citations, editorial conjecture, and even original research. [1]

When launched in 2001, Wikipedia was initially powered by UseMod Wiki, a wiki engine software package developed by Clifford Adams used to moderate (verb) the quality of posts on Usenet groups. Wikipedia used this UseMod Wiki software during its first year of 2001, until 25 January 2002, when it started to use the 'Phase II software' as developed by Magnus Manske. On 20 July 2002, 'Phase III software' (a complete rewrite of Manskes' Phase II by Lee Daniel Crocker) was released and used on the English Wikipedia, and at the same time, was renamed MediaWiki. [2] The MediaWiki wiki engine has subsequently been extensively developed and expanded, through continued collaborative evolutions. As well as being used all 900-or-so wiki sites of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), MediaWiki is also used by many thousands of other independently-hosted wiki sites, and many free and commercial wiki farms.

In respect of content licensing, historically, when Wikipedia was founded in 2001, it released all textual wiki content under the 'copyleft' GNU Free Documentation License (GNU Free Doc License, or GFDL). However, during 2009, all existing Wikipedia wiki sites migrated to a new license: the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0 unported license (CC-BY-SA 3.0); and all content published until that migration date could be retrospectively released under either or both licenses. All content published after the migration date is released under only the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license, as are any newly created Wikipedia language version wiki sites. [3]
