Rules for Editing the Map

1- A reliable source for that specific edit should be provided.
a) A well-known source that has a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) for all edits.
b) A well-known source that does not have a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) only for edits that are unfavorable to the side it prefers (favorable to the side it opposes).
c) A source that is not well-known (or that has proven inaccurate for all edits) cannot be used (is deemed unreliable) for any edit. This includes all maps (see item 2- next).

2- Copying from maps is strictly prohibited. Maps from mainstream media are approximate and therefore unreliable for any edit. Maps from amateur sources are below the standards of Wikipedia for any edit. They violate WP:RS and WP:CIRCULAR.
WP:RS: “Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources.” Source: Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources
WP:CIRCULAR: “Do not use websites that mirror Wikipedia content or publications that rely on material from Wikipedia as sources.”

3- WP:POV pushing and intentional misinterpretation of sources will not be tolerated. If you are not sure about what the source is saying (or its reliability), post it on the talk page first so that it would be discussed.

Source on Hadramaut[edit]

Since I won't fit it all in comment description. In 2018 this edit changed Al-Mukalla and other districts in the region to pro-Hadi because "new forces from the second millitary region were inaugurated in Al-Mukulla City" based on source that I can't access. However: Second Military Region is under control of U.A.E.-backed Hadrami Elite Forces including Coastal Defense Forces (source). Al-Mukalla is already marked under Southern control. Source from 2020 saying that coast is under HEF control while pro-Hadi forces are in Hadramawt valley and desert [1]. Al-Dhaba and Ash Shihr under HEF control: [2]. Ad-Dis under control of Coastal Defense Forces [3]. Hajr district and other local districts were captured by Hadrami Elite Forces back in 2018: [4]. This map from October 2019 by Sana'a Center for Strategic Studies shows entire coast of Hadramaut as under control of U.A.E. backed militias: [5]. In August 2022 Southern forces demanded departure of First Military District from Wadi Hadramawt and replacement with Hadrami Elite Forces from coast: [6].

Map Update[edit]

this map hasn't been updated for a long time and needs to be updated @[[User:Borysk5|Borysk5] @Tradedia @HCPUNXKID Abo Yemen ✉ 08:26, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing changed since a long time in Yemen. Borysk5 (talk) 08:31, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Today president rashad alalimi visited Al-Mukalla in the hadhramout governorate which according to the map is controlled by the southern separatists (outdated). The map should atleast show some government control on this governorate Abo Yemen ✉ 17:07, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's no change. Al-Mukalla has been for some time under UAE-aligned Hadrami Elite Forces, see from May this year: [7]. They just allow government officials to visit the city. Borysk5 (talk) 08:58, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I may be confused but in the speech and yesterday in eid prayer there were soldiers from the yemeni government and no "southern" forces Abo Yemen ✉ 04:44, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
