This extended etymology,
"New research indicates the term itself is proposed to have Proto-Indo-European roots. Specifically, this interpretation proposed that Latin jūbilaeus is from iūbilō (“I shout for joy”), and that this verb, as well as Middle Irish ilach (“victory cry”), English yowl, and Ancient Greek ἰύζω (iúzō, “shout”), derived from Proto-Indo-European yu- (“shout for joy”)."
given in the JUBILEE article really belongs in the JUBILATION article, since that is the direct descendant of the Latin jubilare meaning 'to shout or sing out joyfully' or 'rejoice'.
Jubilare is only given to be an influence* on the formation of the modern JUBILEE, making its extended etymology extraneous there. (Because of this influence, "jubilee" is, secondarily (in modern usage), considered to be a synonym of "jubilation." This inflection wasn't present in the Greek and Hebrew forms.)
Also, since Mike C likes to see interconnections between names (per http://www.behindthename.com/bb/fact/4540795 ), the original Hebrew form of JUBILEE, yowbel, and JUBAL, yuwbal, are both forms of the ancient Hebrew root verb yabal, "to flow."**
*Middle English jubile, from Old French, from Late Latin iúbilaeus, the Jewish year of jubilee, alteration (influenced by iubilâre, to raise a shout of joy; see JUBILATE), of Greek iobêlaios, from iobêlos, from Hebrew yôbêl,
"the blast of a horn (from its continuous sound); specifically, the signal of the silver trumpets; hence, the instrument itself and the festival thus introduced." (from http://www.eliyah.com/cgi-bin/strongs.cgi?file=hebrewlexicon&isindex=3104 )

(Note: Contrary to LMS' claim [in the JUBILEE article],
"In this interpretation, the Hebrew term is instead a borrowing from an Indo-European language, hence ultimately of Proto-Indo-European origin."
neither Strong's Concordance nor the Blue Letter Bible equate yabal with the Proto-Indo-European yu- [“shout for joy”])
