James Heilman is an emergency room physician known as an advocate for the improvement of Misplaced Pages's health-related content, and for encouraging other clinicians to contribute to the website. He formerly sat on the Wikimedia Canada board of directors, and is president of Wiki Project Med Foundation. Heilman is a clinical faculty member at the department of emergency medicine at the University of British Columbia, and an emergency physician at East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook, British Columbia, where he lives.

Misplaced Pages advocacy and controversy

In 2009, Heilman added public domain images of the ink blots used in the Rorschach test to the Misplaced Pages article on the subject, and concerned psychologists said that this could invalidate the tests. However, some psychologists said the test had previously lost its popularity and usefulness. In an interview with The New York Times, Heilman stated that he added the entire set because a debate about a single image seemed absurd and psychologists' fears were unfounded. In August 2009, two Canadian psychologists filed complaints about Heilman to his local doctors' organization; Heilman called the complaints "intimidation tactics." An extensive debate ensued on Misplaced Pages, and the images were kept.

In 2012, Heilman was one of two Wikimedia contributors sued by Internet Brands for shifting freely-licensed content and volunteer editors from the for-profit site Wikitravel to the non-profit site Wikivoyage. The Wikimedia Foundation defended Heilman's actions in the lawsuit, citing volunteer freedom of choice. In February 2013 the parties settled their litigation.

Heilman is part of an initiative through Wiki Project Med Foundation with Translators Without Borders, working to improve and translate the top importance English Misplaced Pages medical articles into minority languages.
