Move the page?

There seems to be significant support for moving this article to a better title, but nobody really said what title they thought would be best, so I left it as it was. — CharlotteWebb 02:09, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose 1934 Saudi-Yemeni border conflict could be a possible alternate title, but I think the current title suffices as:

It is shorter and less jumbled.
All English-language sources I have encountered so far name it a "war" rather than anything else.
There is nothing it could be mistaken for. There have been multiple conflicts between Saudi Arabia and Yemen (including a series of armed clashes in 1998 that left 20-50 people dead), but none of them were significant enough to be classified as a "war".

i agree with you , for the third reason specially. Ammar 02:29, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sana is not a coastal city!

Please correct the last paragraph in the article. You cannot send warships to Sana; it's not a coastal city!

Thank you for noticing this. It has been corrected. Black Falcon 16:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite

I have had a go at rewriting most of this, backed by citations, and put the description of the war into chronological order as much as possible. I've removed some of the unreasonable statements which were already in the article, but I've also left some of the odd POV stuff in although I could not find reference to either endorse or refute them.Eregli bob (talk) 10:15, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Historically inaccurate map

The map used in this article shows significant historical inaccuracies and ignores historical facts about the geopolitical state of Southern Arabia before the Saudi-Yemeni war. For example, the map shows Najran as part of Yemen while ignoring the existence of an independent principality of Najran. I suggest removing the current map until a new and more accurate one replaces it. OKMG-1200 (talk) 12:43, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many historical maps showed nejran as a part of the Kingdom of Yemen Abo Yemen ✉ 13:40, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i also suggest that you read the article that you've linked. That region has been a part of yemen but not for long as the yemenis were expelled later on. Also before going on to try to question the reliability of the map please read this article first Abo Yemen ✉ 13:45, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. I don't see any of the historical maps you talked about cited in the map file and you didn't cite any here. Now regarding the historical status of the principality of Najran, I think that you didn't read the article I linked which clearly stated that the principality was under suzerainty of several countries throughout its history and NOT an integral part of Yemen and that's why I think this map is wrong.

Map of North Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula (1923).svg, source: [1] Abo Yemen ✉ 15:50, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was part of yemen since 1633 as the article says and later had fallen from it. It's just a one paragraph article please re-read it Abo Yemen ✉ 15:51, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Principality of Najran: "In November 1933, Yemeni forces occupied Najran"

So, at the start of this war it was under Yemeni control. Koopinator (talk) 07:36, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
