description <p>We introduce a method to resolve a <em>symplectic orbifold</em>(<em>M</em>,<em>ω</em>) into a smooth symplectic manifold <sup>−</sup><sub style="position: relative; left: -.7em;">M</sub>, <sup>−</sup><sub style="position: relative; left: -.6em;">ω</sub>. Then we study how the formality and the Lefschetz property of <sup>−</sup><sub style="position: relative; left: -.7em;">M</sub>, <sup>−</sup><sub style="position: relative; left: -.6em;">ω</sub> are compared with that of (<em>M</em>,<em>ω</em>). We also study the formality of the symplectic blow-up of (<em>M</em>,<em>ω</em>) along symplectic submanifolds disjoint from the orbifold singularities. This allows us to construct the first example of a simply connected compact symplectic manifold of dimension 8 which satisfies the Lefschetz property but is not formal, therefore giving a counter-example to a conjecture of Babenko and Taimanov.</p>
