Welcome to Sanitation Wikipedia!


Hi Sparsh85, I am EMsmile, and I am a part of a group of people wishing to improve sanitation-related articles on Wikipedia (which also includes topics around water supply and public health). If you have any questions about this work, please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

We ran a SuSanA Wikipedia Edit-a-thon for World Water Day in March 2017, followed by a joint editing drive for World Toilet Day in November 2017. We've put together an outline of how such an editing drive can work here in our Meetup page. We are currently focussing on a select few number of articles (we have chosen 70). Also we are focussing mainly on improving their readability scores and their leads.

Here are some pages about Wikipedia editing that you might find helpful:
 * Quick introduction to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia
 * Identifying reliable sources for medicine-related articles
 * How to edit medical articles
 * Manual of Style for sanitation-related articles

Please sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ) when you post on talk pages. This will automatically produce your username and the date.

Also if you are interested in improving sanitation-related articles, you may want to join WikiProject Sanitation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! EMsmile (talk) 13:53, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
