RfC on election/referendum naming format
An RfC on moving the year from the end to the start of article titles (e.g. South African general election, 2019 to 2019 South African general election) has been reopened for further comment, including on whether a bot could be used move the articles if it closed in favour of the change: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (government and legislation).

A new newsletter directory is out!
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Very helpful website
This website is amazing. It gives you all the English names of places in Yemen. I have seen some misspellings in the names of places of Yemen. This is probably because these names are taken from websites that generate names through transliteration and not translation.-- SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 02:30, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Reorganize Wikipedia:WikiProject Ottoman Empire as a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject Former countries?
Dear users of this WikiProject:

At Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Former_countries I have left a proposal to convert WikiProject Ottoman Empire into a task force of WikiProject Former countries. I asked this project (as all or parts of this country was formerly in the Ottoman Empire) and several other projects to get further feedback. Please let me know if you have questions, comments, or objections.

Thanks! WhisperToMe (talk) 01:56, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Women in Red Asian women contest
From 1 October to 31 December, Women in Red is running a virtual contest on Asian women. In November, this will coincide with Wikipedia Asian Month. We look forward to strong participation from all those interested in improving coverage of women from Yemen.--Ipigott (talk) 14:12, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like and turns it into something like
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from cite web, cite journal and doi.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Himyarite or Hemyarite?
Recently Himyarite Kingdom has been moved to Hemyarite Kingdom on the grounds that the latter is "the correct name". I would be grateful for comment at Talk:Hemyarite Kingdom from people more knowledgeable on the topic than me. Furius (talk) 16:56, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon
 Hello WikiProject Yemen:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a  month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there! Grnrchst (talk) 13:56, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Importance rating of Yemeni civilizations
A lot of the big ancient kingdoms of Yemen (such as Hadhramaut, Ma’in, Qataban, etc) have low importance ratings to this WikiProject, or no ratings at all, shouldn’t they be given a “high” rating? These civilizations are one of the main factors that gives Yemen its own unique identity. &#124;MK&#124; 📝 01:05, 2 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Most of them rarely affected how modern-day Yemen is like now. Id say a Mid rating would do  Abo Yemen ✉  10:55, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree, but they do make up historical and cultural significance. Take the article about Sumerians for example, it is of top importance to WikiProject Iraq, also the article about Ancient Egypt which is of top importance to WikiProject Egypt. &#124;MK&#124;  📝 12:57, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Taking a short wikibreak
Well even though I've contributed to Wikipedia in the worst of times, during school hours and such, I need to take a short wikibreak to focus on my A-Level exams, which I've found that I can't mess around with. See y'all a week or two! &#124;MK&#124; 📝 08:48, 3 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Good luck on your exams! I'll be taking a break too for the same reason too. Cya  Abo Yemen ✉  09:14, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Developing Countries WikiContest
Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries.

Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.

Yemen is listed as a least-developed country for the purposes of this contest, which means Yemen-related submissions to the contest will get a multiplier in points. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!

Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!
