Talk:Aden Emergency

This makes no sense
"Nasser, with crucial diplomatic support from both the United States and Soviet Union,the British, French and Israeli invasion forces that stormed Egypt following Nasser's nationalization of the Suez Canal in 1956, compelling their evacuation."

Not sure what the author meant by this. It looks like something was deleted. Just trying to help —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.86.153 (talk) 02:54, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Woefully incomplete
This entry is called Radfan but deals only with a couple of high profile events in Aden itself. To highlight the inadeqacy the campaign medal bar for Aden and surrounding area was 'South Arabia', 'Radfan' was a different one. Nfe (talk) 10:05, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

 * English language wikipedia and COMMONNAME is Aden Emergency Lyndaship (talk) 06:39, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Changing the page from "Aden Emergency" to the "14 October Revolution".
Aden's Emergency, the colonial name for the uprising, was actually declared on December 14, the Emergency is only a part of the whole 14 October revolution, which began on 14 October 1963

I request changing the page's name from "Aden Emergency" to "14 October Revolution" to reflect the proper, decolonized term for the event considering that the South Yemenis emerged victorious out of this libration war in 1967. https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%AB%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A9_14_%D8%A3%D9%83%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%A8%D8%B1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by N2324 (talk • contribs) 11:19, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * OPPOSE Commonname is Aden Emergency. Google search shows only Yemeni organisations use 14 October revolution Lyndaship (talk) 15:59, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Lyndaship. WCM email 19:24, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Aden Emergency is the commonly used name for the conflict.XavierGreen (talk) 15:51, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose As per Lydaship and XavierGreen. --Meanderingbartender (talk) 15:55, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Consider The page could stay as Aden Emergency, as that is the name in Old Blighty, but an alternative title from a local perspective should be added. This event culminated in a country getting its freedom.

Hoo Boy, is this page ever Colonialism at work!
This article reads like a British Foreign Office report. Yemen is just a geopolitical toy for the British Empire. What a mess! The background needs to mention of the Scramble for Africa, and include a local POV. The suggestion of changing the name is brushed off by people I bet are white and middle class. I am too, but I've read my history. Instead of slapping N2324, maybe peeps could add the relevant perspective to the article. Pretty shocking. Billyshiverstick (talk) 09:02, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
