Would someone look at the copyright issues surrounding the image in Marfan
syndrome? This article was mentioned in the Signpost as being worked on in
honor of Kevin Gorman. The image shows a pubescent child, partially
clothed, apparently during a medical exam. The image was uploaded with a
CC-by-2.5 license. But if you go to the copyright information in the case
study, it says the article was published under 2.0 license. There is
separate copyright statement for the image: "Written informed consent was
obtained from the patient's parents for the publication of this case report
and accompanying images. A copy of the consent form is available for review
by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal." It says the child is 13 years old
and has a "global intellectual impairment".
Is the consent needed for a medical study in Brazil the same type of
consent needed to host an image on Commons? Does the license for the
article also apply to the image of the child? Can someone sort through
these issues?

The largest Wikipedia gathering in South Asia kicks off
"As compared to the last WikiConference India, this conference has more
thematic focus, especially on challenges like the gender bias on
Wikipedia, and emerging projects like the Wikipedia Education Program."

Note that the Indian women's program was a particular object of ridicule
by the anti=gender gap editors...

(Looking forward to ending my wikibreak in a few years when catch up
with ALL my other projects; still barely scratched surface. Do have 3 of
8 odd websites partially in Wordpress so far... And a couple new
facebook topic pages; busy busy...)
It breaks my heart that I am not able to post condolences to his talk page.
I wanted to say so much about what he did for people behind the scenes, how
he kept this forum moderated and open for discussion after arbcom closed
down the gender gap project, and how when he talked, the ideas rushed out
of him as if he knew how little time he had, and could overcome mortality
itself in order to accomplish them, but in the end, there are no words,
there are no words.
