Uncyclopaedia or the Wikipedia Review are going to love this one.

1) We ask for donations
2) Virgin Unite offers donations
3) Virgin Unite creates an article on itself, totally above board,
using its own name
4) Virgin Unite gets blocked
5) The article about Virgin Unite gets expanded, then nominated for
deletion. (and, as noted, kept)

It's bad enough that an article about a major philanthropic foundation
got nominated in the first place, but that it happened to be the very
organisation that was that day giving *us* money. Jeez.
