Subproject: Gray's Anatomy
'''Most of Gray's anatomy has been added to the commons and to Wikipedia - work is mostly left in making sure everything is copied. If you would like to take on making a list of the works left that is the main priority of this project.'''

Gray's Anatomy is an incredible public domain resource for both text and images. Help gather together this treasure trove of information and integrate it into Wikipedia!

Goals

 * 1) Gather images from Gray's Anatomy and standardize the files, their descriptions, and their licensing.
 * 2) Gather text from Gray's Anatomy and integrate it into Wikipedia articles, while bringing the language up to date.

Images
Here's how to upload it:


 * 1) Find the image at http://www.bartleby.com/107/illus310.html
 * 2) Copy caption from beneath image. In this case, it is "Articulation of the mandible. Medial aspect."
 * 3) Convert to PNG format.
 * 4) Upload image to http://commons.wikimedia.org as Gray310.png
 * 5) Image description for images:
 * 6) Add a few appropriate category labels and/or add the image to an appropriate gallery.

And on to the next one!

Text
Text needs to be brought up-to-date into modern language.

Lists
WikiProject Anatomy/List of subjects in Gray's Anatomy holds a list of lists that needs major link repair before they can be moved into article space. Each article, created in 2006, is a word-for-word copy of the index of the 1918 version of Gray's Anatomy.

The articles are in terrible need of maintenance. For instance, at List of subjects in Gray's Anatomy (E), we see: When the pages were created, each entry was simply wikilinked as is. For instance, the last entry should link to Superficial epigastric artery, but that wasn't done - it's just a link to the disambiguation page superficial. And of course a wikilink to peculiarities of makes no sense at all.
 * Epigastric artery, deep or inferior:
 * peculiarities of:
 * surface markings of:
 * superficial:

In their current form, these articles are basically worthless. The project needs someone to go through the wikilinks in these lists and give them meaningful targets.

 * Details: 
 * ✅ There are 19 articles on surfaces ,
 * ✅ 6 on impressions ,
 * ✅ 11 on margins and
 * 5 on borders under our scope. There is no reason that these need to be separate articles, and these could be merrily integrated into 'relations' or comparative sections in the parent articles.

 * The spinal vertebrae set of articles
 * ✅ The human heart and related articles
 * ✅ Articles related to anatomical terminology

Anatomical terminology of muscle and bone

 * Coordinator --LT910001 (talk) 03:36, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Goal: standardise and/or merge (with consensus) articles relating to bone and muscle terminology
 * Intended duration: less than three months (before April 2014)
 * Details: 
 * Articles on muscle terminology and bone terminology are often very poor, and are unlikely to be expanded, as they are merely dictionary entries (eg Agonist / Antagonist, ...)
 * Articles on bones are not only in poor shape, but often contain lists and exist in an ambiguous state between articles and disambiguation pages.
 * These articles would benefit from either being standardised or, as with our terms of motion articles, collated into a larger page that not only provides context, but allows a central place for all that editing to occur.
 * ✅ Create high quality Anatomical terms of muscle in sandbox and move to mainspace. Draft here (User:LT910001/sandbox/Anatomical_terms_describing_muscle)
 * ✅ To be merged if consensus exists: Insertion (anatomy), Origin (anatomy), Agonist (muscle), Antagonist (muscle), Unipennate muscle, Bipennate muscle
 * ✅ Insert in Template:Infobox muscle a link to the article.
 * Move Eye movement terminology to article
 * ✅ To be referred to in the article: Striated muscle, Smooth muscle
 * ✅ Create high quality Anatomical terms of bone in sandbox and move to mainspace. Draft here:(User:LT910001/sandbox/Anatomical_terms_describing_bone)
 * To be merged if consensus exists: Foramen, Canal (anatomy), Fossa (anatomy), Condyle (anatomy), Epicondyle (anatomy), Trochanter, Process (anatomy),
 * ✅ To be referred to in the article: Long bone, Short bone, Flat bone, regions of long bone, Sinus (anatomy)
 * ✅ Insert in Template:Infobox bone a link to the article.

Anatomy series
There are some topics in anatomy with either a very sequential structure or very closely linked. Many of these topics do not relate to fixed anatomical structures (such as bones or nerves) but concepts (such as epithelium or terminology). It would be very useful to readers if these topics were presented in an easy-to-access, immediate fashion.
 * Coordinator --LT910001 (talk) 08:44, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Goal: create several anatomical series and add these to respective articles
