In Memoriam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Welcome to In Memoriam: September 11, 2001, a special section of Wikipedia.

The aim of the Wikipedia encyclopedia, in response to the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack is the inclusion of a neutral and complete history of the attack, including the background history, the aftermath, and more.

The pages herein provide the additional resource of personal opinions, individual experiences, memorials, and tributes, unlike the encyclopedia proper. All contributions to Wikipedia, including those here, are released under the GNU Free Documentation License.

Some Wikipedians, while not necessarily opposed to the idea of this memorial site, object to the fact that it is inherently non-NPOV, due both to its stated purpose of hosting personal experiences and to its exclusion of equally tragic and senseless deaths which were not associated with this particular terrorist attack. These people believe that either Wikipedia's mission should be expanded to include the collection of personal experiences and tributes of all kinds, or the September 11 wiki should be dissociated from the Wikipedia name and from the Wikipedia project. There is some discussion of this in various parts of Wikipedia and Meta-Wikipedia; see for example m:Dealing with September 11 pages and Talk:In_Memoriam.

Lest we also forget Chile September 11, 1973.
