message: The date for the Mutawakkil Kingdom are give as 1918-1958. There is something wrong, as Muhammad al-Badr was not overthrown until Sept. 1962. In the square header at the right, it's even worse: the date given is:  - Civil War: September 27, 1958. It should read September 27, 1962, which would concordate with the date given under Muhammad al-Badr, unless I make some mistake or didn't get the clue. Anybody objects if I correct this?

text: Oppose. There have been many monarchies in what is now Yemen. The adjective is a disambiguator. —Sesel (talk) 02:26, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The Kingdom of Yemen page is a redirect to this article + even if there are any other monarchies in what is now Yemen (which is wrong because none of them had the name "Yemen") this has to be the most popular one Abo Yemen✉ 12:36, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: North Yemen usually refers to the Yemen Arab Republic and not the kingdom of yemen as there wasn't a south yemen in the kingdom's lifespan (except for it's final 3 years that were spent in a war with the republicans) for a north to even exist Abo Yemen✉ 15:30, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

text: I disagree, Yemen had numerous kingdoms in its lifespan, and this one is the Mutawakkilite kingdom of Yemen. 3rbFelix (talk) 14:09, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I am pretty sure none of them had the name Yemen Abo Yemen✉ 14:18, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: There were indeed, take a look at the Yemeni Zaidi State 3rbFelix (talk) 16:37, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @3rbFelix its wp:commonname is the Yemeni Zaidi State and not the kingdom of yemen. Also some might argue that the yemeni zaidi state IS itself the mutawakilite kingdom of yemen Abo Yemen✉ 19:52, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm, true, the Yemeni Zaidi state’s accession of Imams continued from then until the end of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen. So, technically, this does make the Mutawakkilite Kingdom a continuation of the Yemeni Zaidi state. It possibly was the only monarchy that used the region’s name as a part of its name. 3rbFelix (talk) 22:09, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

message: @3rbFelix there is no reason for us to use that map; doesn't mean another article does something then we should copy it, and while we're on the topic of the map of the ottoman empire, there are 5 other maps and editors there have had many discussions about it there for their own reasons that we can't just copy. Plus there is no mos that i am aware of that says anything about the main map; hence why I decided that a professionally made map is better than a map of the Yemen Arab Republic Abo Yemen✉ 13:47, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this problem was solved, but just for clarification, this isn’t just the map of the Yemen Arab Republic, look at this official stamp by the Mutawakkilite kingdom of Yemen, https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Yemen-kingdom-B26.jpg 3rbFelix (talk) 14:05, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: YK i don't mind returning the old flag as long as the current variant is added to the flag gallery below Abo Yemen✉ 15:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I don’t got a problem with that, it was used in postage stamps and therefore it makes sense for it to be added to the gallery, it’s just I think that we should make the main flag the one that was used more as an actual flag.  |MK| 📝 15:22, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
