Critically evaluate Flickr licenses
File:Angelo Campos Peruvian.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. You may have preserved the information shown on Flickr correctly when transferring the image here, but the Flickr uploader is not the copyright holder of this image. Either the image was created by someone else, or it is a derivative of someone else's work. As stated in Commons:Licensing, only the copyright holder may issue a license, so the one shown on Flickr is invalid. Always remember to critically evaluate Flickr licenses. Photostreams with professional-looking photographs, album covers, posters, and images in a wide range of styles or quality taken by many different cameras often indicate that the Flickr uploader either does not understand or does not care about copyright matters. See Commons:Questionable Flickr images for a list of known bad Flickr users.

No, it's a non-free photo grabbed from the Internet. It's not the Flickr user's own work. Therefore, they cannot issue a valid license.

 Oppose. I think you still need some additional time away from uploading to do some more reading, for example to learn the differences between different Creative Commons licenses, which ones are compatible with Commons' licensing requirements and which ones are not. A good place to start would be Commons:Flickr files. LX (talk, contribs) 16:22, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I already knew the licence requirements but the Flickr users are misleading the licences the images which they uploads --PrinceSulaiman (talk) 16:51, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't think you do know the licensing requirements. On File:Isaac Cuenca Lineup(Cropped).png, you specified a different license than the one on Flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gerardreyes/6028295473 is clearly marked {{Cc-by-nc-nd-2.0}}.

Above unsigned comment made by 112.134.100.143

Hello PrinceSulaiman, thanks for uploading Parliament of Sri Lanka – Current.svg. In en:WP it is stated that six members of the DNA group supported the Wickremesinghe governement and one was in the opposition, but in your graphics all seven MPs are on the government's side. Do you have any sources (there aren't any in the en:WP article either ...)? Greetings --Furfur (talk) 07:20, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Furfur: Due to crossovers the law permits MPs to join whomever he/she desires. You're free to modify the file if you see anything wrong in the image. As there are some ministers already had resigned from position due to their patronage to former President Rajapaksa as well the current cabinet ministers acting as caretaker minister. --PrinceSulaiman (talk) 08:34, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello PrinceSulaiman, I am not enough an expert on Sri Lanka domestic politics. So, I am not really competent to make changes (at least since I do not know reliable sources). You think it is difficult to give exact numbers, e.g., for the UPFA how many parliament members are actually supporting the Wickremesinghe government? Greetings --Furfur (talk) 16:28, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Furfur: There is no “UPFA” supporting the Wickremesinghe government, They're part of National Government program introduced by Maithri-Wickremesinghe at the presidential election. My exact numbers are 30 members of UPFA are backing the Wickremesinghe Govt as part of National Govt. Recently few of ministers resigned, So i cannot give you exact number, Only we can see after the General Election who is going to become the Prime Minister and who are becoming the ministers of government, therefore we still got time until Aug 17 as this article doesn't provide exact numbers of ministers from UPFA because some of them already crossed over to UNP recently due to granting nomination to Mahinda Rajapaksa. Hopefully on Aug 17 I will have the article and graphic updated!--PrinceSulaiman (talk) 17:40, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello PrinceSulaiman, ok, thanks for your answer. I am following Sri Lankan politics with interest but I always had difficulties to understand how Maithripala Sirisena could be expelled from the UPFA before the election of 8 January and then afterwards re-elected as their leader. So the UPFA seems to be quite heterogeneous, on the one side supporters of Maithripala Sirisena, on the other those still adhering to Rajapaksa? I am curious about the results on Aug 17. --Furfur (talk) 23:24, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Furfur: He was expelled from UPFA because he became the common candidate led by Ranil Wickremesinghe's United National Party before 8th January, After winning the election in the Presidential Election there were some of 25-30 MPs attempted to crossover to Maithripala Sirisena's party, as result of that Mahinda Rajapaksa the leader of the party, He had to reinstate Sirisena's membership because of the pressures of crossover to United National Party-led coalition. The constitution of UPFA states that if the member of UPFA becomes the President of Sri Lanka he/she is entitled to become the leader of the party, The constitution of UPFA had backfired on Mahinda Rajapaksa as he had amended the constitution to remove the former President Chandrika Kumaratunga who was the leader back in 2004. Thus, Sirisena got the leadership of party but the majority of UPFA members are still loyal to Rajapaksa which he still has the control of the party through his loyalties (not Sirisena's factor that represents 25-30 MPs).--PrinceSulaiman (talk) 16:43, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello PrinceSulaiman, thank you for your explanations. Of course I knew about the circumstances when Sirisena was expelled from the SLFP/UPFA when he announced his candidature against Rajapaksa but I did not know that the constitution of the UPFA states that the President automatically becomes leader of the UPFA if he is party member of the UPFA. I also did not know that Rajapaksa himself introduced this regulation to replace Kamaratunga. That's interesting to hear and now I understand the position of Sirisena better. I am really curious about the outcome of the coming election. --Furfur (talk) 17:10, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Furfur: God knows who will win this election, But in my prediction Wickremesinghe should win this election in order to protect the democracy principle in Sri Lanka. So i hope the United National Party wins this election. Actually he did introduce that amendment to remove her that's why there is feud between her and Rajapaksa, Kumaratunga is very supportive of Sirisena and Wickremesinghe during last election despite of political difference of Wickremesinghe she still supports Sirisena-Wickremesinghe government presently to safeguard the democracy. --PrinceSulaiman (talk) 17:22, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Wickremesinghe as prime minister under Sirisena would be the better choice. The authoritarian political Rajapaksa style should belong to the past. I also expect the UNFGG & allies to win the election. --Furfur (talk) 17:50, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
