Help me!
I am editing pages related to sanitation for the urban poor, and accomplishing SDG6. Our public education initiative at SuSanA (Sustainable Sanitation Alliance) aims to give the public unbiased information about water and sanitation. The Wikipedia App is becoming more common on cell phones in Africa and India, where water and sanitation issues abound. We need more visibility for private companies and wonder if it would (or wouldn't) be kosher to add companies to your project. Here's an example of one that's considered important to non-sewered sanitation: bioifilcom.net (Biological Filters and Composters). If appropriate, I would use the Toilet Board Coalition communications channel to ask toilet companies to come forward if they meet certain criteria, and our SuSanA Wikipedia team of volunteer writers could help research and write about such companies.

Please help me with.. .....knowing more about the companies you consider appropriate for inclusion.

 * Hi PlanetCare, Wikipedia must not be used to promote an agenda. That being said, so long as you are not attempting to promote an entity, you can create an article if it meets our inclusion criteria for organizations. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:26, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I searched the links included in your response and think the thing to do is look for ways of appropriately referencing some of the sanitation companies when they have done noteable projects related to other topics.  For now, I don't think any of the small sanitation companies would be noteable enough to warrant their own page.PlanetCare (talk) 18:26, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Marine biology query
Hi, PlanetCare; thanks again for your helpful input at Talk:Menstrual cycle, and your feedback in these edits. Separately I saw both and  raising some concerns elsewhere about some activity related to the Sanitation WikiProject, and wondered if you have anything to add about this edit at Talk:Marine biology? Regards, Sandy Georgia (Talk)  12:35, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
