Welcome to the Cochrane Skin Pictures of Skin Diseases Project Page

Project Overview

Aim

To increase the number of photos of human skin diseases appearing in the Cochrane Library and Wikipedia.

Objective

To increase the number of photos of skin disease, including those of skin of different colours, in each Cochrane Skin Systematic Review and Wikipedia Skin disease article.

Approach

We will solicit skin disease pictures from Cochrane Skin consumers globally for addition to Cochrane Skin Systematic Reviews in the Cochrane Library and Wikipedia via the social media outreach. Pictures will need to be of acceptable quality as judged by our medical and technical experts and come with:

a) appropriate permission to post the picture(s) and

b) information that supports the diagnosis of the disease (such as a biopsy pathology report).

Progress Tracking:

Images Posted: Dermatologic disorders on Wikipedia

1. Epidermoid cyst/Epidermal Inclusion Cyst
2. Squamous cell skin cancer/Squamous Cell Carcinoma
3. Keratosis pilaris/Keratosis Pilaris
4. Melanoma/Malignant Melanoma

Images Needed: Dermatologic disorders on Wikipedia

Here is a list of dermatologic disorders on Wikipedia that would benefit from additional clinical images.

1. Amelanotic melanoma - a single image of a canine lesion
2. Pemphigus vulgaris - single clinical image
3. Bullous pemphigoid- single clinical image
4. Urticarial vasculitis- no clinical images
5. Chloracne- single image (not very helpful)
6. Hidradenitis suppurativa- lacks images of each Hurley stage
7. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans- no clinical images
8. Pustulosis palmaris et plantaris- single image (not very helpful)
9. Pityriasis rubra pilaris- single illustration, no clinical images
10. Dermatosis papulosa nigra- no clinical images

How to add images to Wikipedia Commons

1. Register for a Wikipedia Account: Create a Wikipedia account
2. Ensure your images are suitable for Wikipedia Commons. See Commons:Contributing your own work for more information
3. Log into Wikipedia Commons using your Wikipedia Account and upload your images: Wikipedia Commons Upload Wizard

Tips for preparing your images

1. Ensure that your photo does not contain locator information. You can do this by either turning off the locator on your phone or by taking a screenshot of your image on your computer, saving it as a new jpeg, and uploading the new version only to commons.
2. Still shots are required, jpeg format seems to work well.
3. Include a description of your photograph. See examples in the gallery above. The more information you provide, the easier it will be to find an appropriate place to share your photo in a Wikipedia article.
4. Be sure to speak with your institution in order to use the appropriate permission form to obtain written consent.
5. The person should not be identifiable from the photograph so please zoom in or crop prior to uploading on Commons.
6. Please add your new photos to our gallery, above.
7. Wikipedia Commons essay with information on sharing images of patients: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Patient_images

Where can an image be shared on Wikipedia?

• Wikipedia's Medical Manual of Style Guideline gives suggestions for sharing images in a gallery: WP:MEDMOS#Images
• Images may also be appropriate in the Medical Info Box at the top of the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Infobox
