Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to

References for Anti-Christian sentiment
Are there any sources allowed on Wikipedia to cite the anti-Christian sentiment in the Houthi movement?

Addition of the name of the Houthi government in Yemen
The Houthis have established their own government in Yemen, named the
Supreme Political Council. Because of that, it should be mentioned as the name of the government in the page, in the same way that the country named the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" is referred to by the governing body's name: the
Taliban.

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

Refer to
WP:COMMONNAME, 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.

It's not about it being the more common term. It's about it literally being an incorrect and pejorative term that the group the article is about doesn't even use. Not only that, but it's not even accurate since the majority of Ansarallah's followers are not actually "Houthis" (from the Houthi tribe).
It would be like naming the US article "America" or the Iran article "Persia". They're just incorrect terms.

Also, the Islamic State article is titled "Islamic State" despite "ISIS" being the much more common designation (while also being incorrect, just like "Houthi", so your point doesn't stand.

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

Crazy how pushing political agendas seems to take precedence over academic honesty and unbiased reporting.
I'll say it again, "Houthi" is a pejorative name. It's akin to naming the US article "Murica".

Addition of Anti-Semitism/Anti-Jewish Sentiment in the Ideology List
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.

Agreed to this. It's not an extraordinary claim that they are anti-semitic, given their flag's inflammatory "A curse upon the Jews" statement. Since it is not an extraordinary claim, it shouldn't require extraordinary sourcing.

Thanks for pointing this out; I have reverted Iskandar's mass removal of ideologies from the infobox.

'Media' section needs attribution
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.
