- Article title
- Sustainable sanitation
- Article Evaluation
- The content of the article is relevant to the article. However, I felt a few topics were underrepresented, and sometimes only keywords were written without elaborating on the idea, which will make it difficult for a reader to understand. The article is written in a neutral tone and, for the most part, has a citation supporting the claims. There are a few places in the article where there are no citations, and thus, it seems to be coming from the author's personal views. The sources used in the article come from reliable sources, and all the links provided work. The article's lead is fairly well written, but the introductory sentence is very general and very loosely formatted. The photos in the article are relevant. The article addresses most relevant topics but not in detail, therefore making it not very comprehensive.

- Article title
- Septic tank
- Article Evaluation
- This article contains a thorough compilation of all relevant content and is written in a neutral tone. This article has problems with citations as many claims that have been made are not supported by any references, which decreases the source's credibility. The photos used in this article are relevant and displayed well, and none of them go against Wikipedias copyright terms. As I see it, there are no areas in this article that are over or underrepresented, but if some sections could become a little more concise, it would only help the reader understand the topic better. Overall, the article is well thought through, and with a few changes, it could become even better

- Article title
- Wastewater treatment
- Article Evaluation
- The article's lead is concise but does not seem to be a summary of the article's content. The article heavily uses citations from the government of the United States' resources, making it less representative of other countries and quite biased. Therefore, a more neutral tone is possible. There are also a few claims in the article that are not supported by references. This makes it seem that the author has written from his knowledge. There are photos in the article, but they do not enhance its quality. More pictures showing the treatment process would be helpful. I also think that a few sections such as "Global Situation" could be elaborated upon, and in the "Regulations" part a bit could be added about what the United Nations is doing. The article includes content relevant and helpful for a reader to understand the basic concepts of wastewater treatment.

- Article title
- Rainwater harvesting
- Article Evaluation
- The article is fairly well developed, and as I see it, it has most relevant information available. It is written in a neutral tone and, at no time, seems to be pushing the reader's views in a particular direction. A few places in the article are not backed up by any references, which decreases the credibility of the article. There is also no external links section. The article's lead needs to include a little clearer definition of rainwater harvesting, especially the first sentence. The article contains a fair number of citations used from newspapers, blog posts,un-secure, and unreliable websites. Some links do not work anymore. The article explores rainwater harvesting from a worldwide perspective, including various countries. There are a few ideas that are underrepresented, where a claim is made but not explained, making it difficult to understand. The pictures are well laid out and enhance the quality and understanding of the article. The article could include initiatives by the UN in this area as they are a major contributor and facilitator of such efforts.
