[edit]https://www.jstor.org/stable/41702556 will be useful for making a "politics" section for this article and/or Socotra Governorate 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 18:09, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
"China Youth International"
[edit]@Martinevans123 I'm pretty sure that this "China Youth International" source isn't as reliable as the book cited by the IP. The book says that "The far west of Abd al Kuri lies only about 95 km from Cape Guardafui". Now, apart from the wrong number given by the Chinese website, Abd al Kuri is a completely different island in the same archipelago. 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:02, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, it doesn't look particularly reliable. The distance between Socotra and the Horn of Africa shouldn't be too difficult to source reliably? I would support use of a more reliable source. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:09, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
how many islands?
[edit]The short description, visible to mobile phone users, refers to four islands. The article refers to six islands. the article on the archipelago refers to four Islands and three islets. Credibility suffers! Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 22:47, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
