Matt,
I think people politely declined to criticize your proposal in the knowledge that it was absolutely sure to fail, meaning vocal opposition was not required. But I can understand your frustration at the lack of response, so I'll briefly provide you with mine. The "WikiTribute" idea firstly fails to meld with educational purpose of the "sum of all human knowledge" mission. Secondly, the system you describe for managing it is utterly unworkable in a non-profit, volunteer driven wiki setting. Finally, online repositories for obituaries already exist. These are by no means the only weaknesses of the WikiTribute idea, but they would seem to be fatal.
