WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Houthi movement, along with other pages relating to the Syrian Civil War and ISIL, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Addition of Anti-Semitism/Anti-Jewish Sentiment in the Ideology List

The slogan of the Houthi Movement has the phrase "A curse upon the jews", and the organization expresses anti-jewish sentiment. I had found another source from the UAE Embassy, but I believe this could be biased. I believe Anti-Semitism should be added to the Ideology list for this reason, though I understand if stronger sources are needed. 208.89.33.107 (talk) 23:07, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed to this. It's not an extraordinary claim that they are anti-semitic, given their flag's inflammatory "A curse upon the Jews" statement. Since it is not an extraordinary claim, it shouldn't require extraordinary sourcing. JohnR1Roberts (talk) 12:03, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Antisemitism used to be in the ideology box, but was removed by Iskandar323.

Might want to make an edit request about it. 2603:7000:CF0:68A0:F94:2F29:D11C:B2CD (talk) 02:36, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out; I have reverted Iskandar's mass removal of ideologies from the infobox. Applodion (talk) 09:47, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

'Media' section needs attribution

The first paragraph of the 'media' section needs proper attribution.

The Houthis are said to have "a huge and well-oiled propaganda machine".

By who?

They have established "a formidable media arm"

According to?

"The most impressive part" of Houthi propaganda

You get the idea. The text in quotation marks are all referring to one source, an opinion-piece in The New Arab by Abdulelah Taqi. The article's current version talks about these descriptions as if they were popular consensus rather than the analysis of one author. This can't stay.

Demographic Split of Shia VS Sunni is Wong

According to the source sited in the article Zaydi Shia are 45% of the population but the section keeps referencing 25%. This seems to be a continuing sticking point for whoever is actually editing this page where they disregard their own sited sources. 2600:8802:3001:C800:A820:C54E:7721:FDD3 (talk) 13:30, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove "supposed" from the section below the media subheading, per MOS:DOUBT. May require other rewording. Aricardo1917 (talk) 22:44, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I updated the wording a little bit in accordance with the source. cyberdog958^Talk 20:41, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Slogan

[1] I have made changes to what the slogan says in the infobox to have consistency with the infobox on Slogan of the Houthi movement.

I left this message as a courtesy.

Thanks,
