It is important to keep the community informed about this. By making it clear on the talk page that the article is being reproduced by LoC the article may be kept to higher standards. I'm guessing the community were not informed about Pope/Tsunami? Anyway, it's good news.

I remember a similar request from 2004 during the Tsunami (okay, the actual request should have been from january-february 2005) from the US LOC for a collection about this. Maybe someone is able to find the ticket and how we reacted to this. As far as I am concerned, their request is fine and I consider it a shame that libraries are requested to ask for this to preserve the cultural heritage, no matter if it is on dead trees or on a DVD.
I found a ticket where Jimmy forwarded the request for http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Pablo_II to OTRS (ticket 119314), but the ticket doesn't include the permission. According to the email, Jimmy gave permission for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope on 2005-04-13 by email (not thru OTRS).
This request http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_conflict was also forwarded by Jimmy to OTRS.
As far as I'm aware the board needs to explicitely approve any use of their logos. Last time it was asked for on IRC, Angela directed the user to drop a line to board@wikimedia.org, so it might be sensible to forward that to there. -- Sean Whitton
I've forwarded it there, thanks. That was my first thought, but Jimbo forwarded it to OTRS, so I tried juriwiki-l (no response yet) before asking here. -- Jeandré _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
