Fair use rationale for Image:Psol-logo.jpg

[edit]

Image:Psol-logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Socialism and Freedom PartySocialism and Liberty Party – "Freedom" and "Liberty" are synonymous . However, "Liberty" is more like the Portuguese word "Liberdade" and is more understandable for readers of English.) Gerúndio (talk) 12:24, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppetry

[edit]

It has come to my attention that various edits that have been made on this page, as well as various sources that have been added to among other things the infobox may have all been added by various sockpuppets of User:SacredGeometry333, this includes User:BDMKK. I now suggest editors examine the article for non-neutral content and i hope portuguese-speaking editors may examine various portuguese-language sources in this article that i personally cannot read. User:SacredGeometry333 has been described as right-wing militant, possibly right-wing populist, any content or sources that may mirror such a view or may come from a more right-wing stance might be his additions. Please also take a look at the article's history in order to identify any possible non-banned sockpuppets, some IP's and users have been reported in regards to this case as recently as the last few hours!

Controversies

[edit]

I'm from Brazil and there is a lot of news and evidence of many controversies and scandals related to PSOL and it's members. It would be really easy to compile a list and make a small complement for a section or create a whole new one in the article.

I do have a problem with doing this though, because I think my effort might go in vain, since the administrator of this article is a self declared far-left marxist. Don't take this as an attack in any way, not here to judge, but I've noticed that the article as it is right now has biased and misleading information that was accepted without any citations. E.g:

"and it is recognized as different from the bigger PSDB and PT parties and the cronyist and catch-all parties without an ideology." Partially true, but extremely misleading, since they take the ideology farther than others, but are also known as a "satellite-party" from PT.

"It is the only party present in the Congress which did not receive money from large corporations and the only party that called for the removal of the former President of the Chamber of Deputies Eduardo Cunha, currently in jail." This is not true, many other parties in the Congress that did not receive any money from large corporations and they were also in favor of removing former Congress president Eduardo Cunha.

"Governors Tarcísio Motta (RJ) with 8.92% (14.62% in city of Rio Janeiro) and Robério Paulino (RN) with 8.74% (22.45% in capital Natal) got excellent results. Senate candidate Heloísa Helena (AL) got 31.86%, but she lost the election to former Brazilian president Fernando Collor de Mello, who was impeached." Fernando Collor de Mello was never impeached, as he abdicated before the impeachment process ended, and retained his political rights.

"Although having a small presence in parliament, PSOL is the 5th most popular party in Brazil,[18]" Misleading and focus tested. Besides the fact that the citation link is broken, PSOL is not that well known. As mentioned by the article itself, it's a popular party among the progressive elite from Rio de Janeiro (São Paulo too), where the research was carried on. Reminder that the information this citation is based on is provided by PSOL itself.

Those were my criticisms, and I can tell that this was written by multiple people with different level of bias, this part of the Article for example as well written and reflects reality really well:

"Despite being a left-wing party, PSOL is not commonly associated with a labor or low-income electorate. Instead, PSOL is more associated with the upper-middle class electorate with strong secular or socially progressive beliefs in the brazilians metropolitan zones, especially the cultural and intellectual elite of Rio de Janeiro. PSOL is a party often associated with academics of social sciences in public universities, teachers, artistic class, social movements, people who support taboo affairs in the brazilian society like legalization of abortion, legalization of marijuana, human rights activism and public sector labor unions."
