Dear Ms.,
I thank you for your answer. As explained in
https://doi.org/10.1016/J.JBI.2019.103292,
Wikidata lacks support of images of medical items (Symptoms, Diseases, Medical signs,
Medical techniques and tests...). The initiative of Dr. Yale Rosen in this context is a
significant contribution to Wikidata. However, I should inform you that there are multiple
types of medical images. Using P18 Image Wikidata Property without constraints will be
imprecise. I propose to add a qualifier to new Wikidata statements in which you define the
fabrication method (P2079). These methods are Radiology (Q77604), Computed Tomography
(Q32566), Histology (Q7168) and Echography (Q16775363) among others. Other qualifiers
about other characteristics of the image such as the used section and coloration should be
included as well.
Yours Sincerely,

Objet : Re: [Wiki-Medicine] 2000 pathology images by Dr. Yale Rosen to Wikimedia Commons
Dear Netha
That is great news. However, I think that CC-BY would be more appropriate a license for
such kind of images? I would seek opinion from James in this regard.

**Apologies for cross-posting**
Dear all,
I am very happy to share the news of Dr. Yale Rosen's donation of images to Wikimedia
Commons. He had shared over 2000 images related to pathology, many of which are rare
images, during his long career as a pathologist. He used to run two Flickr streams, one
for Atlas of Medical Foreign
Bodies<https://www.flickr.com/photos/foreignbodies> and
other for pulmonary
pathology<https://www.flickr.com/photos/pulmonary_pathology/>
images. I had first approached Dr. Rosen for donating a few images, but he kindly offered
to donate his entire collection of approximately 2000 images plus the contents from his
pathology
website<http://granuloma.homestead.com/> for use on Wikimedia projects. He
had shared several images under CC-BY-SA or lower in the past, and User:
CFCF<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CFCF> had uploaded them to Commons in
2014. This month, he moved his entire collection to CC-BY-SA, giving me the possibility to
upload around 1000 images to Commons. All images from Dr. Rosen's Flickr streams are
now available on Wikimedia Commons
here<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_by_Yale_Rosen_MD…MD>.
Please feel free to engage in categorizing, adding structured data and uptaking these
images to Wikimedia projects.Kindly write to me if you have any questions or comments.
