Wikimedia Commons is the media repository for all language issues of Wikipedia and its sister projects. Images or media files published in scholarly articles under a Creative Commons Attribution License (also known as CC BY), a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License (CC BY-SA) or a Public Domain Dedication (CC0) can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and reused from there, e.g. in Wikipedia articles.
Audio and video files available under these licenses from PubMed Central are automatically uploaded to Wikimedia Commons by way of a bot. You can help this process, e.g. by using such files in Wikipedia articles or by checking the categories that the bot has proposed for its uploaded files. Bot support for uploading images is foreseen.If you see an article which is within the scope of this taskforce, please tag its talkpage with our Open Access talk template. To tag an article as an Open Access taskforce article, please add
{{WikiProject Open | access=yes | access-importance= }}
to the top of the talk page, which yields this discussion template:
