Medical device hijack

Hi @Fomanka. I noticed that you have selected the Medical device hijack article to work on. Since this is a human health-related topic, I wanted to let you know that topics related to human health have more stringent sourcing requirements than most articles on Wikipedia. Please be sure to complete the Editing health and psychology topics training module. You can also check out the sourcing guidelines for these articles. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Just remember to ping me so I am notified of your response. Looping in @Dr Donna Cyber. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:34, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Brianda (Wiki Ed),

I have a quick question, I tried editing the Medical device hijack article and included an image I got from the link below.I received feedback that such an image is not free to use.

Please take a look and advise. Thank you Fomanka (talk) 03:05, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Fomanka, Uploading images to Wikipedia can be really tricky. In this case, the original underylying photo was identified as a commerical stock photo. The editor even included a link to its use on an NPR article. This means you would need to find the license for this original image to see if it’s allowed on Wikipedia.

Check out this link for the detailed explanation of license laundering. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 01:43, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
