| The '''In Memoriam wiki''' is a former [[Wikimedia]] project on the [[w:September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11, 2001 attacks]]. It was made read-only in September 2006[http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-September/023338.html]. It is still in [[Special:SiteMatrix]], but no longer online on a Wikimedia site. It has been moved to the non-Wikimedia site http://www.sep11memories.org , where it is read-only. It can be accessed with interwiki link [[sep11:]] ([[bugzilla:24805|bug 24805]]). As of August 2010 it's offline. See [http://web.archive.org/web/20070929094309/www.sep11memories.org/wiki/In_Memoriam sep11 main page at Web Archive].

| I'm a little worn out now, as I've spent the last 12 hours straight on this site, so I'll try to keep this brief.
| |
| | |
| I think that the page [http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack] could be one of the great accomplishments of Wikipedia, if everyone gets involved. Already it's pretty remarkable, and it's only been four days. Many people built an amazing [[en:Timeline of the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks|timeline]], while my focus has been on the [[en:Casualties of the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks|casualties]] entry. But everyone can help in any way.
| |
|
| |
| I've put in a lot of effort because I live in New York City, and this is the small way I can do something in honor of the thousands of people who died, including the 350 firefighters who died because they rushed in to save people, and in respect for the thousands of people working until they drop, exhausted, after literally days without sleep, digging through the rubbish, cutting through the twisted steel, and getting this city back on its feet--so well that all over the city people can go back to their cafes, be fashionable, and chat merrily with their friends, as if nothing had happened. And it's important that we do get back to normal--but also that we don't forget what happened. And the only way to prevent that is through the preservation and dissemination of knowledge, the reason for something like Wikipedia.

| === What can you do? ===
| |
| First off, remember that you can [[Be bold in updating pages]]. So if you want to plunge headlong, do. There are no experts or masters of building this site--everyone is in charge. That said, here's a list of suggestions, in increasing levels of difficulty or intensity (please add if you think of one):
| |
| | |
| === Build the memorial pages ===
| |
| <i>Five minutes or less</i>
| |
| * Go to the [http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack/Personal_experiences Personal experiences] page and add your own experience or thoughts
| |
| * Go to the [http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack/Casualties Casualties] page, pick one person on the list, and build their initial entry using the [http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack/Casualties_template template]
| |
| * If you know a victim on the [http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack/Casualties Casualties] page, please build or add to their entry
| |
| * Scroll down to the external references that haven't been fully incorporated and add that information
| |
| * Track down the online version of the newspaper local to the lost and use the info to write up the entry.
| |
| | |
| <i>Several minutes to several hours</i>
| |
| * Find authoritative lists of the missing and add the names, properly formatted, to the [http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack/Missing_persons Missing Persons] page
| |
| * Figure out how to redesign the Personal experiences page (break it up, most like) to make it useful and easily navigable
| |
| | |
| <i>Best of luck to you!</i>
| |
| * Build a dynamic, sexy frontend to the pages, get a memorable and appropriate URL, and give the memorial pages their own virtual site
| |
| * Convince professional media organizations such as the New York Times to put its memorial reportage into the public domain for the public good
| |
| | |
| === Build the historical pages ===
| |
| <i>Five minutes or less</i>
| |
| * When you hear new information, add it to the [http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack/Timeline Timeline]
| |
| * As you surf (or scour) the web for stories, make note of the urls of informational stories and add them at the bottom of the appropriate subpages.
| |
| * Go through info on the Timeline and incorporate it into the appropriate subpages. If they don't exist, make them.
| |
| * Edit current subpages for content, style, and formatting
| |
| | |
| <i>Several minutes to several hours</i>
| |
| * Write comprehensive, critical entries (like the [http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack/terrorism terrorism], [http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack/Osama_Bin_Laden Osama Bin Laden], or even [http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack/box-cutter_knife box-cutter knife] entries) on related topics, such as militant Islam, the tension between civil rights and security throughout history, or the construction of passenger jets and why their pilot doors are made to open easily, even if locked (there are a lot of good reasons).
| |
| | |
| <i>Best of luck to you!</i>
| |
| * Hack Wiki to allow the use of templates, so complex subsites like this can be more easily managed and rapidly prototyped (to use a little bizness jargon)
| |
| | |
| You can also promote the site through whatever means you desire, getting people to link to it, making a simple logo/button, etc.
| |
| | |
| Of course, there isn't really a hard line between the memorial and historical pages--all the pages act as one great memorial, and every individual page is a bit of history, from the "big" names ([http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/John_P._O_Neill John P. O Neill]) to the "little" names ([http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Dana_Falkenberg Dana Falkenberg]).
| |
| | |
| In particular, I've tried to make it as easy as possible to build intial entries for the casualties, which can then become full-blown tribute pages over time. It takes less than five minutes to build an entry. To do all of them is an impossible task for one person, a simple task for all of us.
