== Description ==
'''In Memoriam''' was a [[wiki]] dedicated to everyone who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, in the {{tag|United States}}.
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 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 - [http://sep11.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page sep11.wikipedia.org] - a move unique in Wikipedia's history and a sign of its still-uncertain scope and direction in 2001.  According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia#Related_projects 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.

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, www.sep11memories.org, no longer hosted by Wikimedia.  The original sep11.wikipedia.org was finally closed on 22 June 2008.
