'''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|September 11]], [[wp:2001|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|September 11]], [[wp:2001|2001]], in the {{tag|United States}}. | ||
The wiki was originally a | The wiki was originally a [[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 - [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#Sister_projects_.E2.80.93_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. | ||
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. | 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.
