Some have mentioned the pages should go to some special wiki - that's fine with me, but I *very strongly* feel they should leave Wikipedia now. The meta is the best place for them now. I've already brought this up some months ago, and I agreed then to wait until after September 11, 2002. It is now September 25, and time to move on with these pages - there has been plenty of time to think of other/better solutions. As I've said before, I don't think we should give 911 any special treatment anymore - there's no reason for that.

I agree the non-article 9/11 pages which including hundreds of tribute pages should be moved (while still allowing Google to index them at their new homes - we will still get traffic that way). But I do not agree that this should be a hasty cut and paste effort. What I would like to see is a mechanism whereby the move feature could move a page and its history in WIkipedia to Metapedia.

It would also be a very good idea to add "w:" link-backs where appropriate in the moved pages. But to make this cross-linking work pages on Metapedia need to look different than pages on Wikipedia. I've already suggested a light gray background.
