Yes definitely wrong. The pic shown on the Wiki page is correctly of the Gile, but any reference to a Jambiya or the style coming from Yemen is wrong. Yemeni Jambiyas are completely different in shape and more resemble the Omani Khanjar. To my knowledge the Gile is not known anywhere as a Jambiya or a Dharia or anything to do with so called Wahabite daggers.
