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(a)wikimedia.org, so it might be sensible to
forward that to there.

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.
