Files uploaded by LeastCommonAncestor (talk · contribs)

flickr user hosts a collection of files on the Syrian uprising, all "freely licensed"

images from

• Alexandria, Egypt
• Indiana, USA
• Amman, Jordan
• various places in Syria 1, 2, 3 and others
• various tv stations addounia.tv, arte
• the Syrian government: 1

caricatures from various sources 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

You can also find a large portion of photos hosted by this flickr account on Google Plus without any licensing. This account may have it's purpose, but is certainly not an appropriate source for free material for Wikimedia Commons since the user compiles images from the web and other sources. I would also suggest to add the flickr account to User:FlickreviewR/bad-authors.

The files were uploaded to the best of LeastCommonAncestor’s knowledge, so this hasn’t anything to do with this user but targets the known problem of "flickr washing".

keep couln't find any thing which had a publish date before the 28th of May and so i have to assume that the flickr account is also the auther of the pics--Sanandros (talk) 21:46, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

He is obviously not the author:

• The images are watermarked with a URL of a huge image collection on Google+ without addition licensing information.
• The files are attributed to Photo AFP/Getty Images or REUTERS/ Houla News Network, not to this flickr account. --Polarlys (talk) 21:52, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
