Ansarallah is the proper way to refer to the organization. "Houthi" is a pejorative term and isn't even accurate since the vast majority of Ansarallah's members/followers are not in fact from the Houthi tribe. Kurdish Elf ( talk) 22:03, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
it (Wikipedia) generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources). In this case, "Houthi" is the most commonly used name to refer the organization. Note that, "Ansar Allah" is also mentioned in the lead section. Ckfasdf ( talk) 05:09, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Change article title from "Houthi movement" to "Ansarallah".

Some will say that it is the more common term, but the Islamic State article had the same issue. The Islamic State article is titled "Islamic State" despite "ISIS" being the much more common designation (while also being incorrect, just like "Houthi"). Let's keep a certain level of consistency and factuality across articles covering West Asian geopolitics. Kurdish Elf ( talk) 18:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

03:10, 9 April 2024 (UTC)The slogan of the Houthi Movement has the phrase " A curse upon the jews", and the organization expresses anti-jewish sentiment. I had found another source from the UAE Embassy, but I believe this could be biased. I believe Anti-Semitism should be added to the Ideology list for this reason, though I understand if stronger sources are needed. 208.89.33.107 ( talk) 23:07, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
The first paragraph of the 'media' section needs proper attribution.
The Houthis are said to have "a huge and well-oiled propaganda machine".
By who?
They have established "a formidable media arm"
According to?
"The most impressive part" of Houthi propaganda
You get the idea. The text in quotation marks are all referring to one source, an opinion-piece in The New Arab by Abdulelah Taqi. The article's current version talks about these descriptions as if they were popular consensus rather than the analysis of one author. This can't stay. Cadenrock1 ( talk) 21:11, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
According to the source sited in the article Zaydi Shia are 45% of the population but the section keeps referencing 25%. This seems to be a continuing sticking point for whoever is actually editing this page where they disregard their own sited sources. 2600:8802:3001:C800:A820:C54E:7721:FDD3 ( talk) 13:30, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
