Typo

This paragraph has a typo

"On 22 January, the Houthis stated that they had released all of the 25 members of the crew of the cargo vessel Galaxy Leader, which they had seized in November 2023, after meditation by Oman and a request by Hamas."

While, as a Buddhist, I would absolutely love it if Oman had used meditation to make the Houthis release the members of the crew, I imagine that the intention of the writer was to say they were released due to Oman's mediation. 2603:8080:F700:3276:D027:8C02:172D:783D (talk) 17:04, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 25 January 2025

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the January 2025 section, there is a portion that begins:

"On 13 January, a UAV launched from Yemen was intercepted over tge Mediterranean Sea by a missile boat of the Israeli Navy."

"tge" should be "the" Orxenhorf (talk) 20:00, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 27 January 2025

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I've found more typos under the "Timeline of events" section. Please forgive the extra length, but I think including the starting portion of the paragraphs makes them easier to find, and breaking them up with blank lines makes it much more readable.

In the "January 2024" section, "On 7 January" portion, "servicemembers" needs a space added.

In the "January 2024" section, "On 21 January 2024" portion, "transitting" should not have double "t".

In the "May 2024" section, "On 10 May" portion", "borh" should be "both".

In the "August 2024" section, "On 7 August" portion, I believe "forment" should be "foment" unless it is a U.K. spelling I'm unfamiliar with.

In the "October 2024" section, "On 28 October" portion, "havs" should be "have".

In the "December 2024" section, "On 23 December" portion, "trested" should be "treated".

In the "December 2024" section, "On 26 December" portion, "infrastucture" should be "infrastructure".

In the "December 2024" section, "A ballistic missile lanched" portion, "lanched" should be "launched".

In the "January 2025" section, "The Houthis during the night of 11 January" portion, "woth" should be "with".

In the "January 2025" section, "The United Nations stated" portion, "susending" should be "suspending".

Done. Thanks for spotting all of them! Yeshivish613 (talk) 15:49, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
