I'd like to move this over to the Funds established after the Sept 11 attacks, and include it with a discussion of the controversy over the Red Cross's use of the funds, as well as some other initiatives set up after the attacks. Any objections?

hmm-- another article that doesn't wrap properly in IE. This time there are no tables to be blamed... JDG

OK this does need some serious reworking, for a start, if we must link to the orgs, (please not in the main text) let's link to something informative, not their credit card site. Also, there are many other significant initiatives not mentioned here. I'll help if you like, but not today!

Also,I think that the controversy surrounding the use of funds by the Red Cross shouldbe mentioned.

  • Relief funds created in reaction to the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks - maybe the sentence "Many relief funds were immediately set up to assist victims (personally and economically) of the attacks." is worth merging w/ the main article, but otherwise, the article is useless. Page was created 23 Sep 2001. We're no longer donating. --Jiang
    • Delete, agree. Merge and delete. Fuzheado
    • Merge and redirect. --mav 16:13, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • Redirect now the information has been merged elsewhere.JamesDay 03:00, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC) Keep; merging all of the sub-pages would make the main 9-11 article way too large. JamesDay 18:09, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
      • See above. I did not propose to "merge" all subpages. The content on this one is just insufficient. --Jiang
    • Sentence above was merged into main article; any other useful info was merged into Financial assistance following the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks (what's the difference?). --Jiang 04:20, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Anything of historical significance can be merged. -- Minesweeper 02:21, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • It is better to keep separate pages than to merge content. The entry title is a perfectly valid one under any criteria. --The Cunctator
      • Then can you explain the difference between this and "Financial assistance following the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks"? Why do these need to be separated? The content has already been merged. There's no point in separating them again. Please read the articles for yourself. --Jiang
