Talk:Syrian Social Nationalist Party
IP 69.156.104.108 and me + JJNITO are at an impasse regarding 3 sources used for the claim in the ideology section in the infobox that the SSNP adheres to fascist ideology. I removed 3 sources used in the section because I believe they did not actually adquietly explain why they are fascist and merely used it a pejorative term and/or just as a truism, you can see my arguments above.
I cannot convince 69.156.104.108 that the sources are flawed and they are stating that I am Sealioning and missunderstanding what makes something a reliable source. this argument has gone in circle for days and we need an outside opinion. AssanEcho (talk) 22:06, 8 August 2025 (UTC)"On 4 June 2024, it was reported by the website DeSmog that Reform UK had accepted "more than £2.3 million from oil and gas interests, highly polluting industries, and climate science deniers since December 2019".[11]"
See the above discussion titled "Subsection on Climate change" for more information. Helper201 (talk) 21:41, 7 August 2025 (UTC)- Option A: The Polisario Front is primarily supported by Algeria and has won formal recognition for the SADR from 46 UN member states and South Ossetia, and membership in the African Union.
- Option B: The Polisario Front is primarily supported by Algeria has won formal recognition for the SADR from 84 UN member states and membership in the African Union.
- Option C: The Polisario Front is primarily supported by Algeria and has won limited international recognition for the SADR and membership in the African Union.
- Option D: The Polisario Front is primarily supported by Algeria and has won formal recognition for the SADR from 84 UN member states—38 of which have cancelled, frozen, or suspended their recognition—and membership in the African Union.
Talk:July 2025 Central Texas floods
Version B [2] While additional funding was made available for the county through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, it was not used for flood warning and monitoring systems. At the time, some residents were opposed to using the funds for anything as they opposed the requirements attached to federal funds. It is unclear whether county officials were aware they could have used the funding for such upgrades.Source
Questions in dispute are
1) Should this mention political conservatism?
2) Should it include It is unclear whether county officials were aware they could have used the funding for upgrades to their flood warning system.
3) Is "some residents" or "many residents" more accurate.
4) Should it mentionrequirements attached to federal funds. Geogene (talk) 15:30, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
