@Amanda A. Brant: I checked the wording of the section before I reverted to the previous ‘conservative’ heading. There is nothing in the section wording which supports referring to the organisations mentioned as ‘far right’. The word ‘conservative’ is used to refer to various organisations. Your edit summary says: ADF, The Heritage Foundation, WDI, Family Research Council (an extremist anti-LGBT group designated as a hate group by SPLC) have all been linked to the far right…..

So, according to your edit summary, the organisations themselves are not far right – they have just been linked to the far right. And you are saying that WoLF is linked to organisations which themselves have been linked to the far right. There is no way that these tenuous alleged ‘links’ justify a heading implying that WoLF has links to the far right. You have provided no sources for links to the far-right. And you should have started a discussion on the Talk page, rather than reverting me.

There is a general problem about describing political organisations and positions as right, left, conservative, radical – these categories are not clear, particularly nowadays, when right-wing parties may be radical, and left-wing parties, opposing, may be described as ‘conservative with a small “c” ‘. But calling a party ‘far right’ may be considered defamatory, [1] and should only be used where there is very good sourcing for the term. Sweet6970 (talk) 15:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They have been described as far-right by reliable sources and reputable organizations.
And so it goes on and on. So yes, they are all far-right, multiple of them are SPLC-designated hate groups. Describing them as "conservative" is like describing the Ku Klux Klan – or any other SPLC-designated hate group – as "conservative". "Linked to" is a bit ambiguous, and can mean that they are far-right or in proximity to the far right; the former was meant here. --Amanda A. Brant (talk) 17:54, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I see from your post that some reliable sources have referred to these organisations as ‘far-right’. However, our articles on them call them ‘conservative’. In these circumstances, I will accept the amendment to ‘right-wing’. Sweet6970 (talk) 14:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
