Yemeni Revolution

Since president Saleh resigned as president of Yemen shouldn't this be considered a revolution — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bernardini11 (talk • contribs) 15:55, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

No, revolution means " a fundamental change in power". Since new leader was vice-president since 1994, and also a former military officer, who said he will run in next elections, I wouldn't label this as a revolution. HeadlessMaster (talk) 18:25, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

No, Headless. Its a massive POV you are making. When Ben Ali flees to Saudi Arabia his buddy Ghannouchi takes over it, we call it government overthrown. When Mubarak steps down and his junta ally SCAF takes over it, we still call it government overthrown, although the protesters claims their protest is not over and 'Mubarak elements are still there in Egypt' or 'Tantawi acts like Mubarak' sentiments. In Libya, when Gaddafi was forced out from Tripoli at the late August, although he has not dead yet, his family is still around and Gaddafi loyalist still holds Bani Walid, Sabha and Sirte, still the majority of the sources called it government overthrown. So likewise if Saleh resigns, then its still consider overthrown although there will be a unity government because the opposition are expected to gain power too. Most importantly if the head or leader are being overthrown then we say its the government is being overthrown. Nonetheless we still follow the majority of the reliable sources anyway.

But I said Yemen is still NOT a revolution but with a different reason: There was no such official statement that Saleh has resigned as president. We cannot assume that because the GCC deal has expired in December 23 then we can say "Saleh has steps down already". We need to hear any of the Yemeni ruling leaders helps announce it. Until then, Uprising is still common to be used. 60.49.63.145 (talk) 05:07, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Look, I can be accused of many things, but not of pro-Saleh PoV. Some of my friends are active in Arab Spring (on the revolutionary side), so I, naturally, support them. The difference between Yemen and Tunisia or Egypt is that in Yemen, the high ranked members of the former regime are still wanting to stay in power, while in both Tunisia and Egypt, all high ranked military officers, political officials, etc. stated they won't run in the next elections. I would leave Libya aside (because it was not a revolution, but a foreign intervention, which eventually resulted in overthrowing of the government). HeadlessMaster (talk) 15:19, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Running in the elections doesnt mean that government wasnt overthrown. For example after 1989 revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe everywhere Communist Parties run in upcoming elections despite not changing their member structure. In Czechoslovakia government of national unity - opposition and Communist Party oversaw transition period till first elections similiary to Yemeni government of national unity. However my point is - government was formed by both opposition and coalition members, thus we have significant change in government. And since, despite initial informations, Saleh remained president, although only pro-forma with power handed to vice-president, officialy he is still president of country and thus we shouldn´t call it revolution yet. Changing Arab Spring article Yemeni section to government overthrown as in case of Tunisia, Egypt or Libya is ok but renaming the article from Uprising to Revolution should be postponed until officialy Saleh is out of power, in other words in February when presidential elections will take the place (and if they won´t be rigged Saleh has about 0 chance of winning it). EllsworthSK (talk) 02:09, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Then I think we should remain that situation in Yemen as "Sustained civil disorder...." in that Arab Spring article, for now. In my POV, I feel a bit weird to change into Government Overthrown but this article is still remain as Uprising, if given that the situation is as explosive like Tunisia and Egypt but not Libya. Besides, most reliable sources are still calling Ali Abdullah Saleh outgoing or agrees to step down but rarely used the word "ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh" or "former President A.A. Saleh". Nonetheless let's wait until the February 21 elections then we might consider it again.

Remember one thing: "Transferring power ≠ Stepping down". Saleh had once transfer power to his VP Hadi at June 4 presidential palace attacks but he has never step down yet. Who knows before 2-21 Saleh will still grab back all his VP power and remain dictatorship again? In your opinion you all have already seen this kinda person.

PS: And Headless, just for your record, please don't simply calling me (or even think about it) accusing you without understand what I'm trying to tell you. Many people has once make mistakes, like for example attempt inserting non-NPOV statement into the Wiki articles, even I had done that many times too. I'm just trying to remind you something, as many people also remind me too not to use non-NPOV statements, and that I can't really call them accusing me, even if I WANT to. Dictator elements were still around even if the head of state steps down, but in the end we still call it Government Overthrown anyways. 60.49.63.145 (talk) 03:21, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Conflict escalates to 2011-2012 yemeni revolution: because this is a real revoltion in yemen an all the world call it revolution — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.139.5.45 (talk) 14:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Conflict escalates to civil war

If street battles continue some days more, the article should be renamed to "2011 Yemeni Civil War". Zarateman (talk) 07:32, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Provided WP:RS begin calling it a civil war, I agree. Right now they're saying it's "moving toward" civil war and not calling it a civil war as such. -Kudzu1 (talk) 09:12, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree if this continues a couple of more days it should be called a civil war. People today stated for a new york times reporter that it already is a civil war. EkoGraf (talk) 14:40, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Strong Support President and Prime Minister were injured in attacks on the presidential palace on Friday. Both government and opposition are now actively engaged in direct attacks on leaders of respective factions. Open attacks on command and control structure are characteristics of direct military conflict, not uprisings. Had attacks occurred between 2 sovereign countries, would amount to declaration of war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.180.64 (talk) 15:42, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Support I support changing the name of the article to "Civil War" if the conflict continues in the next couple of days. Loro-rojo (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:36, 3 June 2011 (UTC).

I don't agree. I live in Yemen, Sana'a in particular and very near from the last clashes with Al-ahmar house. I can assure there is no civil war at all but in the end, you should take the optimum title according to the most reliable media. For example many of the Arabic media are calling that, "Yemeni youth revolution" and that was why we eventually took this title in Arabic Wikipedia.Almuhammedi (talk) 21:26, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Comment: What about "Yemeni Revolution"? He's just left for Saudi Arabia, and this is more like the Tunisian Revolution and Syrian Uprising meet Libya's Civil War. -- 92.4.54.144 (talk) 19:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

It's not a revolution unless the government leaves power. Saleh has designed his vice president, who is not an ally of the protest movement, as acting president. -Kudzu1 (talk) 00:10, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Weak Oppose (for now). Why go with American reporters? We need at least a thousand deaths to get this upgraded to an armed conflict. -- 92.4.104.137 (talk) 16:48, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Mild Support A civil war is when two major factions within a country are fighting each other over control of the country, like the current situation in Libya. An uprising is when a group of protestors and/or dissenters openly clash with the state police/military, but fail to overthrow the ruling government. —Terrence and Phillip 07:38, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

U.S. covert actions and South African weapons

The New York Times reported on June 9, 2011 that the Obama administration had stepped up covert military actions in the country in defense of the U.S.-allied government "clinging" to power. Meanwhile, in South Africa, parliamentary questions arose over South African-produced armoured vehicles in the possession of Yemeni rebels who defected from the military.

First let me say that I'm happy that you're willing to discuss this on the talk page. You may well be right. However to add information to Wikipedia, we need it to be supported by a reasonable fraction of reliable sources. As things currently, the majority of sources are still reporting that he has left for the United States for medical treatment. While some sources are indeed speculating that your interpretation is correct, Wikipedia is not a newspaper, and when in doubt, it is better to wait until developments become clear. There are rumors that Saleh has found asylum in the United States, and rumors that he's sought refuge in Oman, and rumors that the army has attempted a coup, and will attempt one again. For now, the majority of sources indicate that he remains in power through families and cronies. There's no rush, things will become clear enough, and it's obvious that one way or another Saleh will be forced from power. There's no need to jump the gun.

By the way, I want you to know that I appreciate your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and I hope that you will decide to stay, and perhaps create an account.

Regards, Quintucket (talk) 18:16, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

User 89.139.5.45, please don't be hasty. I know its true that everybody is calling it revolution, but as long as their peaceful protests doesn't lead to the ouster of Saleh, Wikipedia cannot call it Revolution. It won't be apprioprate to call it revolution because the leader was not ousted, although the Yemenis claims that so. Its based on what is the final result, and as of this date where I'm gonna sign it soon, he was not overthrown yet.

But let say if the Yemeni Revolution wins, I was wondering if we could take out the 2011-2012 and instead named it as Yemeni Revolution? 60.49.63.145 (talk) 08:42, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Saleh is still officialy president of Yemen. As long as he remains on this post we cannot consider this to be a revolution. Hold on a few days, in two weeks there will be elections with Hadi as sole candidate and than we can consider it to be a revolution. After all government was overthrown and replaced by government of national unity and president was overthrown as well. EllsworthSK (talk) 19:08, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

We've discussed this before, and we really need a reasonable majority of reliable sources outside Wikipedia calling this a revolution. -Kudzu1 (talk) 21:41, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

It is worth mentioning that the 2007 Burmese Protests are referred to as the Safron Revolution, even though they did not topple the government. Zenithfel (talk) 17:01, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Changing the title

Soon Hadi will be inaugurated this Saturday morning. When he was inaugurated, that will mark the end of the rule of Ali Abdullah Saleh's 33-year rule. Its expected that we will change this to 2011-2012 Yemeni Revolution. But instead of changing the title, is it okay if we change it to Yemeni revolution only without using the 2011-2012? 60.49.60.158 (talk) 03:32, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

We can't do either without reliable sources calling it a revolution. -Kudzu1 (talk) 08:07, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Its already. Hadi was sweared in as the new president of Yemen today and besides, the revolution was all the time since 27 January 2011. So I repeat my question again, is it okay if we change it to Yemeni revolution only without using the 2011-2012? Our 2011-2012 is just the Wikipedian usage because we believe it revolt started on 2011 then resume in 2012, but most of the media just called it Yemeni Revolution or they just say "Yemeni revolution since January 2011" in a sentence. 60.49.60.158 (talk) 11:05, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Time to move the page

Its time to move the page to the Yemeni Revolution. The consensus of the Arab Spring page counts the this event as government overthrown.

Also here is the dictionary's definition of Revolution:

fundamental change in political organization; especially : the overthrow or renunciation of one government or ruler and the substitution of another by the governed

activity or movement designed to effect fundamental changes in the socioeconomic situation

a fundamental change in the way of thinking about or visualizing something : a change of paradigm <the Copernican revolution>

Zenithfel (talk) 16:48, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Except that the governement has not been overthrown. This is not a revolution and the situation is roughly the same with a new face, the former vice president, elected with 99% of votes (more than Assad) as he was the only candidate. --FavorLaw (talk) 18:01, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Overthrown in this case does not have to mean forceful removal. Zenithfel (talk) 00:12, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

We have already discuss it before about how a government was overthrown. Try to compare it with Tunisian revolution. Why do we call it revolution when on 14 January 2011, when Ben Ali was ousted, but the RCD government was still there? The successor Mohammad Ghannouchi and Fouad Mebazaa was affliated with the RCD, even though he pursue an Independent party. And also, he did form a national unity between his government and the opposition too, that doesn't make it revolution? 60.49.60.158 (talk) 03:08, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Requested move

2011–2012 Yemeni uprising → NewName – Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. Sabri30 (talk) 09:09, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

2011–2012 Yemeni uprising → 2011–2012 Yemeni revolution - I don't get why people still has to believe that what happen in Yemen is not revolution, but an uprising. Al Jazeera, BBC, Reuters and Yemen Post all call it revolution. Besides, Saleh is already ousted so its already a revolution.

Some of you people claims that because Hadi was part of the General People Congress party and because of that, the GCC government wasn't overthrown. But my question is why don't you check out the earlier discussion about the consensus of moving the Egypt article to 2011 Egyptian Revolution?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2011_Egyptian_revolution/Archive_6#Rename_proposals

During that time there were people argue that when the SCAF has took over, it wasn't counted as government overthrown because SCAF were closed associate of Mubarak. Eventually when they have a consensus, they still rename the article as Revolution. So its the same here, the reason why people asking the overthrow of Saleh is because he himself IS the government. Counting still as an uprising is still a POV to me, because 31 million result shows about 2011 yemeni revolution but 6 million shows it 2011 yemeni uprising. 60.49.60.158 (talk) 10:39, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

• Support Although name of the new article shoule be "2011-2012 Yemeni revolution". EllsworthSK (talk) 16:18, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Weak support - Reliable sources seem to be divided on this. Since there has been a legal transfer of power, a new president is in place, a national unity government is installed, and the leadership is at least saying they will now move toward plural democracy under the GCC initiative, I do think the article should probably be moved for consistency with the 2011 Egyptian revolution article, which was moved after President Mubarak resigned even though many regime officials remained in place. -Kudzu1 (talk) 18:50, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Oppose. It was not a revolution, it was political agreement. Very very few sources call it a revolution. The vice president is now the president and has been elected in a way that make jealous most dictators of the world. --FavorLaw (talk) 19:08, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Strong Oppose - rediculous proposal, i will just pass any remark on those single candidate "elections".Greyshark09 (talk) 22:00, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment A political agreement doesn't mean its not a revolution. A revolution can go in many ways, civil war, uprising, demonstration, negotiations and many more. Yemen wasn't the only country that a new leader who replaces the old leader still renders his/her old regime background, yet we still call it revolution. 60.49.60.158 (talk) 03:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Support I think we can call it a revolution with the ouster of Saleh and the promises that the new government will attempt to move towards democracy. 48Lugur (talk) 18:37, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

• Comment. Surely western democracy does not have a monopoly on revolutions (see Cuban Revolution or October Revolution for two very well-known examples of revolutions that did not result in a democratic outcome). I would say that any popular uprising that resulted in the successful overthrow of the existing government can safely be called a revolution. The real question in terms of article naming, however, is how reliable sources refer to the event. If the common name among reliable sources is "Yemeni revolution", then I would tend to support the proposed move, but if reliable sources tend to refer to it as "Yemeni uprising" then I would tend to oppose the move. It may be a bit early to tell in this case, but what are reliable sources calling it? Wilhelm Meis (☎ Diskuss | ✍ Beiträge) 13:13, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
• Strong Oppose That is all and good in your personal opinion but where are your sources? I have seen more sources calling it uprising than revolution, and Wikipedias policy is to call it by the common name that its known internationaly, and at the moment it is more known as an uprising.

Comment Just from quick search [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] EllsworthSK (talk) 11:19, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Looking at bbc.co.uk and cnn.com, it looks to me like "Yemeni uprising" is rarely used and "Yemen revolution" has recently gained some currency, but "Yemen unrest" seems to be the prevailing term. I'm judging that by the number of articles turned up in on-site searches. In this case, it may be useful to give weight to what sources outside Yemen are calling it, since sources inside Yemen may be biased by current politics there. Wilhelm Meis (☎ Diskuss | ✍ Beiträge) 12:57, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Agreed, but as you say there are sources which call or just recently started calling it revolution because despite the process of elections it fits into definition of revolution (whole government was overthrown, new president was installed, government of national unity was created) and not wether conditions laied by protesters were met (like prosecution of Saleh instead of giving him immunity). Some sources are calling it also Unfinished revolution and in that case Im not sure wether they support "revolution" argument or not. Some opinions on that matter would certainly be usufull. EllsworthSK (talk) 22:13, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

User:EllsworthSK, what's the point arguing with them? If the GPC government has removed, and most of the media sources call it Yemeni Revolt, they will still insists the majority thinks its uprising. If what they say is true then Egypt and Tunisia cannot be called Revolution, because I saw most reliable sources called it "unrest", "uprising" or "protests", rather than those who made "revolution". Doesn't make sense rite?60.49.60.158 (talk) 15:22, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

• Comment Well in the Google search result, if you type in 2011 Yemeni uprising you will get at least 3.2 million results. If you type in 2011 Yemeni Revolution you will get 37,400,000 results. I'm not making this up, go and check yourself. 60.49.60.158 (talk) 02:53, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Google results are not an evidence for anything, because we count only reliable sources not some blogs which write "revolution" 1,000,000 times.Greyshark09 (talk) 20:26, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Yup. EkoGraf (talk) 23:59, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Nope. I've seen people change the title because of Google results. I just look at how their title has changed in the previous article. But I suppose even if the new president dissolves the GPC, we still won't call it revolution for some reason. 60.49.60.158 (talk) 15:38, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

@Sabri30, did you just nominate the same article for another move before your previous move nomination was even closed? You really should withdraw the first nomination before making a new one.
