For sep11, well, yes, it's not so great and it
was a weak compromise
and we should do something about it.
Sep11wiki suffers from being too focused on one event. What we need is to have
a general memorial wiki that would have Sep11 as just one of many internal
WikiProjects. Such a project could also serve as a genealogy wiki (aka
Wikipeople).
This was the gist of the Wikimorial idea. It's about commemorating the
otherwise "unnotable" people who happened to be at the wong place at the
wrong time, and fell victims to historic events that overwhelmed them.
The recent tsunami may well generate other stories that merit inclusion.
Not all people referenced there need to have died in the events. The
project could include significant survival stories. I see it as a
"human interest" kind of project.
