Image drives[edit]

These drives concern images and uploading and reconciling images for use here and at WP:MED. These images can include those which have passed in to the public domain after their copyright has elapsed, or those created and released under a CC license.

Copyright enquiry of images by Frank Netter[edit]

  • Coordinator -- CFCF (talk) 11:40, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Goal: look over copyright status of images published in the US between ~1935 & 1964 that did not have their copyright renewed.
  • Intended duration: less than three months (before March 2014)
  • Details Publications between 1923 and 1964 in the US were required to apply for copyright renewal after 28 years in order to keep copyright status. This includes any images first published in said books or pamphlets, including a number published by the esteemed medical illustrator Frank Netter.

Images which may be free use are available at:

  • [1] The Ciba collection of medical illustrations : a compilation of pathological and anatomical paintings.
  • [2] Textbook of obstetrics and obstetric nursing [by] Mae M. Bookmiller [and] George Loveridge Bowen; with a section on the newborn by Harry Bakwin. With original drawings by Frank Netter.

Before uploading it must be ensured that these images were first published in the book in question.

This has been put on hold till I can get into contact with the HathiTrust about the copyright status of their books. CFCF (talk) 10:03, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick Lynch images[edit]

Images created by Patrick Lynch are free and available on Wikipedia, they should be added to articles as they are often of very high quality.

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Medical illustrations by Patrick Lynch.

Subproject: Sobotta's Atlas and text-book of Human Anatomy[edit]

Image from Sobotta's Anatomy.

Sobotta's Anatomy is an large public domain resource for both text and very high quality images. By treating this material in the same way as that of Gray's Anatomy we can increase the amount of anatomical images on Wikipedia, many of which are of significantly higher quality than in Gray's.

  • Goals
  1. Gather images from Sobotta's Anatomy and standardize the files, their descriptions, and their licensing.
  2. Gather text from Sobotta's Anatomy and integrate it into Wikipedia articles, while bringing the language up to date.

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Sobotta's Anatomy plates missing caption.

There is a gallery of all Sobotta's images at [[3]]. Images are available from volumes I & III from the 1909 American edition with English terminology. Images are also available from the same source of the 1911 edition volume III, but these are of poorer quality.

  1. Find an image from volume III at http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=ien.35558004773517 (Only caption adding left)
  2. Or find and image from volume I at http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=ien.35558004773491
  3. Find an image from volume II of the 1906 edition at https://archive.org/details/atlasandtextboo01thomgoog
  4. Copy caption from beneath image or in text. - see commons category, afterwards removing missing caption table
  5. Convert to PNG format.
  6. Upload image to http://commons.wikimedia.org as Sobo year image#.png as in Sobo 1909 555.png
  7. Add a few appropriate category including {{Sobotta's Anatomy plate}} labels and/or add the image to an appropriate gallery.

(Uploading of images of acceptable quality from 1906 & -09 edition complete CFCF (talk) 15:37, 24 November 2013 (UTC)) Images from 1906 edition are of much lower quality, but make do until a better copy of volume 2 is found. CFCF (talk) 14:08, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Text

Text needs to be added to already uploaded images, and needs to be added to Wikipedia. In cases the text is more complete than Gray's.

What is "wikification"?[edit]

Two places in the Open Tasks article it mentions "wikification," once in the Cleanup Templates "Goal" section, and once in Neuroanatomy 10. Foramina of skull. What exactly does "wikification" refer to? The only link I was able to find was Wiki markup which didn't provide enough clarification to learn from and go off of, to know how to help out for "wikification." Could this either be explained or, better yet, linked to some sort of tutorial-type clarification page??? Bush6984 (talk) 15:08, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Bush6984 I see you're still with us! This refers to templates that do not look like normal wikipedia templates, use strange formatting or wording. The aim is to go through the templates and fix them so that they have a more consistent style and, hopefully, are more usable for readers. --Tom (LT) (talk) 00:33, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
