It was created in October {{tag|Founded in 2001|2001}} in response to a flurry of {{tag|Biography|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 [[:Category:History|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 wiki|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 15 September 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.
