File:Down_risk_by_maternal_age.png[edit]

Hi,

This is my first substantive interaction with Wikipedia, so I apologize if I'm contacting you in the wrong place or breaking some sort of protocol.

You uploaded this plot of Down syndrome risk by maternal age, with a citation to this paper. The plot you produced shows a surprising hump in risk around age 45 while the paper mentions that the age pattern is sigmoidal (and therefore shouldn't have any humps). In fact, I plugged the formula from the paper into Wolfram Alpha and got this plot of the risk function, which subjectively looks a lot more reasonable. Is it possible your plot is wrong?

All the best.

use of an image in an anatomy textbook[edit]

Hello,

Could you please contact me at info@wanderlustphotos.com about the possibility of using this image (see link below) in an anatomy textbook? I know it's in creative commons as being able to be used commercially, but the publisher won't automatically accept the CC-BY-SA license and prefers to get formal permission.

It is a common rule to use "Derivate" or "Extraxt", if you wish to alter a file. And it would be a sign of politeness and good education, to respect the explicit wish of the author, not too touch the original file. Furthermore, as I am an active photographer and hold the RAW material of the file, it is only a small effort to ask me, if I can produce a second view of the photo upon your wishes. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 04:08, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure no worries User:Wormcast. The journal that it was from was marked as NC thus I nominated it for deletion. They are amazingly fast here on commons. I guess the one thing we did not check was to see if the journal was originally labeled as CC BY SA and than latter changed to CC BY SA NC. Unfortunately I am not an admin here so cannot pull further details easily. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:49, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Wormcast I was able to find others under an open license and I have uploaded them[5]
This search engine allows you to search for medical images under a CC BY license[6] It however does occasionally get it wrong so double checking is still required. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:02, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Consent[edit]

How, Doc, do you give reviewers access to the consent documentation associated with each patient image you upload? That is, beyond the "just trust me" statement that appears on your User page, how is this formally a traceable process that would stand up to a (using American parlance) HIPAA-type audit?

This questioning is part of the broader process through which I am trying to understanding how this image uploading business can possibly can be a sustainable process, workable not just for the reliable physicians involved like yourself, but also for any that might wish to participate, but also excluding any that would seek to misuse or defraud the system.

Apart from demanding from each that submits a validated form of credentials establishing their ability to diagnose and assign the argued pathology, and keeping these on file, alongside permissions and patient consent materials likewise in order, and making these open for review—I cannot see how this is not going to explode at some point. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 06:05, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So when a fellow Wikipedian launched legal attacks against me my college of physicians and surgeons reviewed my consent forms for the images I upload to Wikipedia. This was written about in part in the NYTs[7]. They were happy with what I was doing and I won the case.
My consent forms have the patients name, address, and other details. I keep a copy and put a copy in the persons chart. I am not willing to share these details with anyone other than my college / the patient in question. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 07:54, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I had no doubt/question that you would have available to you, and would avail yourself of the proper forms for your medicolegal context, or—knowing your integrity from your work and interactions here—or that you would apply these in a proper and disciplined way. That is, I, personally feel I have every reason to trust you.
This is a separate, but related matter from whether we should allow pictures at all. (You know I disagree with you on this, unless and until we create a separate category of contributors, who have verified, formal credentials. I believe that such formal credentials are absolutely essential, in the WP:OR that goes on in your evaluating your images, evaluating and keeping the images of others, etc. For that matter, same with me working on chemistry and biochemistry images. This recognition, however, is against the spirit of the place—to formally recognise expertise—and so it is safe to say I will remain in disagreement that we ought allow self-published medical images from editors.)
As I said, I have reason to choose to trust you (because your credentials are present, I have superficially checked them, and because your performance here is consistent with your presenting credentials). But just as the issue of your editing, with, hypothetically (I know you do not do this), an occasional edit left without a source, where I would not worry about the edit, so it is with your images. I trust the intellectual content, because I trust you as a physician and editing WikiProj Med contributor. So the same is true with your addition of images. If you say image X presents condition/symptom X, I am going to believe it.
I do not however extend this trust very far beyond you, in medical edits, unless I see similar reason to trust. This is true in terms of textual content and images, from you, and it is also true with regard to the matter of patient consent.
Returning to that matter. What I am trying to understand/sort: How can what is being done by the best (you, regarding your consent practices), that ought to be done by all, be institutionalised into policy, at WP, where our contributors are not restricted to experts, and where we draw editors from many tens of English-speaking nations, each with their own HIPAA-type legal requirements? How do we hope to allow medical images representing patients, not sifted through automatically by any consent and release process (as would take place if we import images from a published textbook, or other formal source)? What policies guide this now, at WP, and are they sufficient—would our policies have directed you to do what you did, with your consent forms and process, so that it directs others to do the same?
Cheers, let's continue this here, until such time as we move it to a better venue. Le Prof 73.210.155.96 14:20, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Side note: James, to the extent that the consent forms contain protected information such as patients' real names, they're likely subject to medical confidentiality laws. I hope that you would seek competent legal advice before disclosing the contents of any consent form, especially to Wikimedians (who are highly unlikely to have secure storage facilities for protected information).

MOTD accuracy check request[edit]

HEARTBLEND

Hi James, I hope you are well. After a recent small debacle with a MOTD animation which was factually inaccurate (File:Paso_a_paso_de_un_nudo_As_de_guía.ogv), the same group has had another animation promoted, this time medical. While the animations are perhaps beautiful, I'm a little worried now about their educational merit... would you by any chance have a couple minutes to look at File:HEARTBLEND.ogv and just verify that there are at least no glaring inaccuracies? Thanks for your time, Storkk (talk) 10:10, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks User:Storkk for the ping. The animation is not very good. The whole heart does not "enlarge" (as show by zooming in) and "shrink" (as shown by zooming out) at the same time.
This animation is way better in its accuracy[8]
Other issues: 1) what happened to the inferior vena cava? Why no blue arrow coming out the right main pulomary trunk, why no read arrow coming out of the aorta? Now arrow going in the other two pulmonary veins
Basically it is not accurate enough for us on English WP and we also have images currently showing similar things that are more accurate. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12:44, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose that given it wasn't fantastically wrong, I'll just let my admonishment at User talk:Lorgut stand. MOTD is such an backwater on Commons that there doesn't seem too much point to following it up further. Thanks again for your time, Storkk (talk) 15:59, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Would be good to put in place mechanisms for topic area experts to weigh in on these things before promotions occur. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:20, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, but as far as I can tell, there is no formal process at all for a file to become MOTD. Very little review goes into it, let alone review by topic area experts. It's very different to POTD, where at least they have been vetted by going through COM:FPC. Storkk (talk) 21:50, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If there is not enough good media for a "media of the day" maybe it should be changed to "media of the week". We only have Featured Lists on the main page on EN WP once to twice a week rather than daily. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:54, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be even better to subsume it into POTD or even do away with it altogether. I don't think it is particularly useful in its current form. I think making it "Media of the week" solves only the secondary problem of having relatively few nominations; from what I can tell the larger problem is that while lots of people like having a featured media item (thus giving rise to inertia against changing the status quo), nobody (modulo one or two) really cares enough to actively nominate, promote and curate it. I may be misjudging the inertia, though... I'll think about creating a proposal to do away with MOTD. Storkk (talk) 09:22, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the WMF warring over Flow?[edit]

As you probably know, Commons reached consensus to uninstall Flow.[10] A volunteer developer had already written the patch to complete the Phabricator task, however the WMF halted deployment with no explanation. The WMF has just posted a response refusing to uninstall.[11] Again with no explanation.

I do not understand why the WMF is fighting consensus here, and more importantly I think the only result will be to pointlessly worsen the WMF-community relationship.

While my first preference is of course for the consensus task to be completed, as a Board member I was hoping you would at a minimum take an interest in investigating WHY the WMF feels it is worth fighting the community over this. As I said, the WMF has given no explanation whatsoever. Alsee (talk) 05:14, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. The WMF is responding by building a superprotect for Flow.[12] Alsee (talk) 06:56, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay will look. Thanks for the heads up. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 07:02, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Doc James I'd like to make a correction. I said no explanation was offered. However the commons post was so upsetting that I missed the asserted rationale. They're citing the log entries for deleted pages. This was not a problem on EnWiki, it was not a problem on Meta, and no one cares about log entries for non-existent Flow pages. And people care even less about logs for Flow-test pages, which is all Commons ever had. Alsee (talk) 08:53, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
User:Alsee Okay so my understanding is that currently Commons does not allow Flow pages. And that currently their are no Flow pages on Commons. While the software may be lingering in the background, if it is unused is that not sufficient? Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:20, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've heard there are two Flow pages on Commons. At the moment I can only point to one: Commons_talk:Flow.
Regarding leaving Flow in the background, this is the third time it's being redebated. Here's the meta-discussion:
  • On EnWiki, the WMF proposed leaving Flow installed in the background. The involved editors and WMF discussed it and came to agreement that would not be sufficient. There was WMF-editor agreement that consensus was sufficiently obvious without need of a formal RFC. Flow was amicably uninstalled.
  • On Meta: The RFC proposal was "Proposal to remove Flow on Meta-Wiki". I foresaw that the WMF might interpret it as leaving Flow in the background. I opened an RFC subsection Clarification_of_purpose. Among those who supported the RFC, they explicitly and unanimously ruled out leaving Flow in the background. Two of the RFC opponents also commented in that section. One merely reiterated opposition to the RFC as a whole, however the other opponent notably affirmed the RFC intent was explicitly for uninstall and not leaving Flow in the background. I would like to note that the section got hatted, and I'd like to offer an opinion on why. I think people considered it blindingly-obvious that the intent was explicit uninstall. I think some people considered it unnecessary/offensive/bad_faith to question whether leaving Flow in the background would be acceptable. It turns out I was right to open the section. When the Phab task was filed, the WMF did initially interpret it as leaving Flow in the background. I cited the explicit consensus that against that option. That initial misunderstanding was quickly and amicably cleared up. Flow was uninstalled.
  • On Commons: The proposal was absolutely explicit on uninstall. Many supports were brief, but some support rationales explicitly preclude any interpretation of leaving Flow in the background. The WMF ignored the public discussion, the WMF had their own non-public discussion, the WMF refused repeated requests to shine light on the nature of those internal discussions, then the WMF spent five days building a super protection mode for Flow in secret.[13][14] The WMF plans-or-planned to roll out the undiscussed new Flow feature. When that was announced, a number of people from the RFC began explicitly objecting that it was not an acceptable alternative. I, and I'm sure others, consider it perverse and offensive for the WMF to assert that we were requesting development of a yet another Flow feature.
Given that Flow isn't wanted on Commons, given that the WMF agrees that Flow isn't going to be here in any functional form, is there any credible reason for the WMF to damage relations over this? The WMF is citing Flow logs as a technical-reason not to uninstall. However that rationale makes no sense, and the WMF's insistence on covert discussions compounds questions about the sincerity of that rationale. Instead of wasting time and money developing a Flow-lockdown mode, the WMF could have addressed the log issue instead. That is clearly the correct technical answer, that would clean up any log concern for EnWiki and Meta. I see no good-faith way the WMF can claim the log issue is severe enough to prevent a Commons uninstall while simultaneously prohibiting the logs from being cleaned up for EnWiki and Meta. Alsee (talk) 23:01, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am with you in not liking flow. IMO we do not need three different way to edit Wikipedia when two is enough. And unfortunately flow has distracted from the development of wanted changes to talk pages. Though developing stuff for communities other than EN WP is something I support.
With respect to "delete and disable" versus "uninstall" both results in the same outward result and thus I am not seeing this as a critical issue. Any return of this software IMO would need a clear super majority. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:03, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"flow has distracted from the development of wanted changes to talk pages" - that is passive phrasing. The WMF has been actively rejecting work on Talk pages. Every single time, the WMF politely states they won't do squat for us unless we switch to Flow first. As long as key management are married to the idea that Flow is going to eventually replace all talk pages, they don't want to engage in wasted/counterproductive work improving a system they want to eliminate. It's a slow form of sabotage-by-neglect. By the way, that is one of the reasons people want Flow uninstalled rather than hidden. Maybe we can finally get things like section watchlisting if the WMF accepts that Flow isn't on a slow-roll to replace Talk pages. Alsee (talk) 09:49, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think the last bit you raise is by far more important than the uninstall / disable discussion IMO. If dreams of "flow" are being used to prevent development of the primary talk page system than we need to be discussing that. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:39, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Important message for file movers[edit]

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

  • To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
  • To perform file name swaps.
  • When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong graph (wrong numbers and wrong massage)[edit]

Dear James,

in the german and english article “Influenza“ is a graph made by you suggesting the mortality of influenza in the US for the season 2018/2019.

Something went totally wrong with that (or was sabotaged by somebody). The numbers in your graph are all skipped by two digits. In the original source the summ is 100%, not 1%, and the numbers express only the related burden (relative Verteilung) in-between the different age classes, not the absolut number of deaths in percent in a specific age category related to all infected people in the US.

I hope you understand the difference and change that asap.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html

PS, as I see right now, there are also estimates for the total mortality rate of x in 100.000 with a UI95% on the same webpage. But that are completely other numbers than those you (or somebody else) used.

Please check that cause it is a serious mistake.

Best regards,

Andreas Walter. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2A02:908:C60:4460:51F1:CD63:11C5:83F8 (talk) 02:24, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what the issue is. This is a graph of deaths divided by symptomatic illness. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:43, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sorry, my fault. Your numbers are OK. I made the math by myself. I think it has to do with the look, the design of the graph. Would be good to have the percentage over or under every age group since there is no grid. It's also unusual to use 0,25% steps, in my opinion, but people in the US even think in miles and gallons and use a point (dot) where europeans use a comma. The (german?) guy did not adapt the graph in the german article to european standards.

A small potential improvement[edit]

Hi Doc. I hope you're well. Just saw these because I have your talk on my watchlist. I might suggest something that I think would be an improvement on the second chart: the in-graphic title states just "Fatality Rate", which a layman would almost certainly assume means infection fatality rate. It certainly has a filename and description stating that it is case fatality rate, but I think the in-graphic title has the potential to mislead someone who doesn't know the difference and is trying to figure out what the chances of dying are, given one is infected. AFAIK we don't have good estimates of IFR yet (and I know the graph isn't purporting to show IFR). I know you didn't create this chart, but do you think it would be worthwhile inserting "Case" in the title? I can perform the edit if you think it would be valuable, but I'll rely on your judgment.

Permission to Use Images[edit]

Dear Dr. James Heilman, MD,

My name is Kyle and I am creating a website to help medical students learn how to read and interpret x-ray images. I came across several of your x-ray images on Wikimedia Commons and would absolutely love to use them on my membership-based website. Will you allow me to use them and how would you like to be attributed on my site? Also, is there any way to remove arrows or crop images? If so, how would I properly attribute the changes to the image? I am interested in using approximately 30 of your x-ray images. I can shoot you an email if you would like a list of the images I would like to use.

Thank you so much for your consideration and your work. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kylebarner1 (talk) 20:42, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They are all avaliable under an open license. Simple attribute myself and Wikipedia. I have often uploaded versions with and without an arrow. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:18, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Photos[edit]

Hello,

Do you know where I might find freely licensed photos from psych wards? I looked on Commons, but found only a small handful of historical photos.

Thanks for all the work that you do!

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.
Thanks for uploading File:TranscaucasianTrail.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.
