I don't have the time to write more but it might inspire someone.

Shift to American English[edit]

Before you changed the two words recently, User:Graham87, there was more or less an equal amount of American English and British English in this article (there is still an example of American English towards the end by the way). I would suggest to change it to American English. Why? Whether Kenya uses British English or not is irrelevant as the article is not specifically about Kenya. Flying toilets exist all over sub-Saharan Africa. Also you'll find that most of the other sanitation related articles are already in American English, due to a convention used by the WikiProject Sanitation which people who care about sanitation-related content on Wikipedia have been following since 2014 (WP:SANI).

@EMsmile: At the moment, as written, the article has strong ties to Kenya because that's the only prominently mentioned country. Also, WikiProjects don't have the authority to rule on wider projectguidelines like English varieties. For those reasons, I've changed the one instance "sanitizing" outside quotes to "sanitising".

Just because Kenya is mentioned in the article in my opinion doesn't necessitate British English. I think it would be better if this article was inline with all the other sanitation articles which are pretty much all in American English. Does anyone else have an opinion about this?

WAG bags[edit]

Should WAG bags be added to this article or a new, separate article? WAG Bag is a common term used to refer to plastic bags used for packing out human feces by hikers and mountain climbers. (for example: https://www.rei.com/product/662978/cleanwaste-go-anywhere-toilet-kit-waste-bags-package-of-12, https://thedyrt.com/magazine/gear/wag-bag-camping-waste/). -Kylelovesyou (talk) 17:48, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
