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.
