Dear Diptanshu and Houcemeddine,
Given a choice, I would want the images be under CC0, but in this case it
was Dr. Rosen's choice to keep it under CC-BY-SA. I sent him details
regarding compatible licenses for Wikimedia, and he chose to go with
CC-BY-SA. I respected his choice and thanked him for the license change. I
could have been more proactive and encouraged the use of CC-BY, but I
didn't see good chances of that discussion meeting with success.
I agree with Houcemeddine's suggestion of having a more refined way of
using images on Wikidata. But, I am unable to find any examples where this
approach has been used. Has this approach been discussed on Wikidata? I am
all in support for separating out CT/ECG/histopathology/gross pathology
images on Wikidata items, but I don't yet know if this has been the norm.
Houcemeddine, can you help me with this? Please also help me to integrate
these images to Wikidata if you are interested.
Regards

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>.
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.
Regards
