message: "The Western Aden Protectorate was a nearby territory of 75 sq miles that was ceded to Britain by Sultan Muhsin bin Fadl, while the Eastern Aden Protectorate composed of the Arab sheikdoms of Hadhramaut and the island of Socotra."
This is not correct.  The Aden colony, consisting of the town of Aden and its immediate surroundings,  was 75 square miles.   The Western Aden Protectorate was much large than that,  is was about 20% of the size of South Yemen,  and included Lahej and a bunch of other shiekdoms.Eregli bob (talk) 19:20, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Colony of Aden →  – "Aden Colony was both the official and the common name used all the time for that territory. It was so described in British or international documents and in articles in scholarly journals (for instance: R. R. Robbins, "The legal status of Aden Colony and the Aden Protectorate" The American Journal of International Law, 1939; or  "BCG-vaccination campaign in Aden Colony", Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 31 Dec 1953.

message: Frankly, the 1954 protocolary visit of Queen Elizabeth counts as hardly more than trivia. Does it warrant a separate section filled with quaint details? Lubiesque (talk) 14:49, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

replies: text:  most of the web articles about the visit are cited in that section already, so I don't know if there is enough information for an article. Though I have found some information not in the article in online books such as that she is "supposed to have brought a piano & various other equipment with her, which the staff & management of the hotel seem have misplaced" in page 179 of the book Yemen by Daniel McLaughlin (2007) and some issues about translating "Her Majesty's title of Defender of the Faith in Arabic" in page 251 of the book Fibs, Facts and Farces: Tales from the Arab World by John Carter (2012).

replies: text: I mean if it is notable enough there should be an article for it regardless of whether it would be short or long Abo Yemen✉ 18:11, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Queen Elizabeth's visit 

message: Currently the article's first mention of the protectorate is in the penultimate sentence of the introduction/lede: "On 18 January 1963, the protectorate was reconstituted" as if its earlier existence had already been mentioned {in a previous version?}. Either that should be mentioned in the introduction or the sentence edited. Mcljlm (talk) 13:21, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
