The reason that we chose “Human right to water and sanitation” as our article is because access to water and sanitation is a human right, we believe that every human on this planet should have access to clean water and sanitation. This article relates to SDG6 because the SDG6 focuses on “ensure availability and sustainable management for water and sanitation for all.” The article we chose talks about how water and sanitation is a human right and why people should have excess to water. Water is vital to life of people and all living things. Without access to clean water and sanitation diseases, health, and death are very plausible concerns.

This article has important information that should be correct to access by the population. It is a good article to edit because it is a C-class article and is of high importance. The article has several citations missing and a citation error. When the article has the list of countries who are affected by the water and sanitation, it only talks about South Africa, US, New Zealand, and India. We believe that it should talk about at least every continent and/or different countries. The other reason we found it to be a good article to edit was in the introduction/ lead it talked about how it is a human right but it doesn't clarify the importance of water and sanitation. We do not believe that the lead has the message of urgency across it.

Peer Review
The article had a very clear organizational structure that was easy to follow. It was mentioned that more citations needed to be added in order to add credibility and it appeared as most information and quotations were cited, however, there were still some direct quotations that I noticed were still missing proper citations. It was also mentioned that more information should be added in regards to that counties that are affected by water and sanitation issues, but South Africa, US, New Zealand, and India were the only counties that were mentioned in that regard (no additional counties were added). The heading entitled "International context" I think would benefit from more information being added as this is the shortest headings. If more information cannot be found, maybe consider making this a sub heading under a different main heading. Furthermore the heading "legal foundations and recognition" is very long and may benefit from being broken into more clear subheadings, because as of now the information is all very overwhelming as there is no subheadings. I think my article, "Water treatment," could add the information about human rights to the access of clean water to our introduction as reasoning for why these treatments are important to understand.

As stated earlier, there were two sections that appeared drastically uneven in the amount of coverage ("International context" and "legal foundations and recognition"). Given that the editors in this group wanted to add more counties i think the the heading "international context" is very important in showing relevance and impact water issues have worldwide. Obviously not every country can be discussed in the wikipedia article, so I think and adequate number of counties were listed as examples, showing their current issues with water and sanitation. However, adding a few more key countries wouldn't hurt. I think this article as a neutral tone while still emphasizing the importance of humans access to clean water and proper sanitation.

Overall, as i mentioned earlier, this article does not take a clearly biased tone, however, it still pushes the idea that access to clear water is a very important issue. This article did a good job as not uses phrases the spoke on behalf of unnamed groups.
