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.

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.
