Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

General Union of Syrian Women

Are there any reliable sources stating that the General Union of Syrian Women is the women's wing of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Syria Region because I don't see anything suggesting that in its article.

By the way, could it be possible that the women's wing is actually the General Union of Syrian Women Organization and for that matter are they even different groups? Charles Essie (talk) 16:36, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Far-left

Some of the sources considering the Syrian Baath as far-left seem to be talking about the pre-1970 Baath (some of them are themselves pre-1970). MiguelMadeira (talk) 00:07, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see, all the sources talk about the party's political position in its early days. In present day it's obviously not far-left. The "far-left" description should be marked as "historical", but I don't know what exactly its current political position would be. Litawor (talk) 10:51, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
