Compassion Propaganda
In October 2005, under the assumed name "Muhammad Lotusflower", I created a vanity article on Wikipedia about a movement called Compassion Propaganda, which was justly ridiculed and deleted as nonsense. It was too large to be included in Wikipedia's Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense section, but, in fact, the movement lives. If any Wikipedian reading this cares to know what I'm talking about, I would appreciate if they'd be so kind as to message me.
Update: Compassion Propaganda lives on in the spirit of [group].
