Description
A wiki dedicated to everyone who died in the terrorist attacks of 11th September, 2001.
The wiki was originally a fork of Wikipedia. It was created 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. 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.
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 Sep 15 2006 it was made read-only. Sometime in 2007 the content was moved to its new location, 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 September 2010).
The discussion relating to the creation, move, and closure of sep11.wikipedia.org can be read at Wikimedia Meta-Wiki: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sep11wiki
