Kurt, et al...

In principle, it does not scale well.  I can understand a Wikipedia
article on an event (disaster)... but a memorial project?

The mission of the Wikimedia Foundation is to empower and engage
people around the world to collect and develop educational content
under a free license <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:free_content> or
in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally.

The memorial project does not appear to meet the above statement.  The
"Wikipedia article" on the tragedy would appear to better meet this
mission statement, as opposed to a "memorial wiki".

And that my friend, is what, in principle, is wrong with that.


Best,

Jon
