Lets cut to the chase.

There is a place, somewhere out in the wilds of the internet, where glowing
tributes to other-unexceptional people killed in the Sep. 11 atrocities should
be.  They should stand as a monument to the tragic and senseless killing of
that day.

But en.wikipedia.org is not that place. Really its not.  Encyclopedia's are
for notable people, not just those caught up in notable events.

Perhaps we someone should set up sep11.wikipedia.org where these articles
should be placed as a tribute to these people.  Oh, wait, they already have.
