mchirico, redi: what you can try to do is to put your link in the article talk page, and ask an independent administrator (hopefully one who's not an insane idiot) to look at it and give the go-ahead to put it in. If nothing happens, maybe put up an RfC to blow up the whole matter.

This is even in the Wikipedia policy text, but I guess most of the administrators can't be bothered to point it out because they're more concerned with how to make Jimbo Wales look good in the wake of the Essjay incident.
