Infobox

National Paralympic Committee Burkina Faso — Worth a red link?
- Not so sure since there are not that many reliable sources that discuss it in detail MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Preview

had yet to debut in the Winter Paralympic Games. — Have they ever appeared in them subsequently?
- Clarified MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Preparations

This section could do with some expansion. There's a decent amount of information in the sources about how the community received them, and this could probably sustain a standalone paragraph.
- Added MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disability classification

If I were writing the article, I would probably include this section as a subsection of "Background". But if it is the convention for such articles to have "Disability classification" as a standalone section, no worries.
- No it's the standard MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is a helpful overview, but perhaps it's worth delving specifically into cycling classifications, and explaining what H3 and H4 are?
- Added MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Men

Any images of Gasbeogo available?
- There are no freely licensed images of Gasbeogo available MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Women

Any images of Nikiema available?
- There are no freely licensed images of Nikiema available MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nikiema was the oldest athlete to participate for Burkina Faso at the London Paralympics — This doesn't add anything, given that there were only two people. If she was the oldest athlete ever to compete for Burkina Faso, that would be worth mentioning.
- Removed and reworded MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
an African championship in 2009 — What's that? Anything to link to?
- There are no further details MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Road/Men/Women

Are three extra sections needed for these, or can they just be placed after the paragraphs about each athlete?
- Yes for accessibility. MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps worth placing the time trials first and the road races second, to reflect the order in which they occurred.
- Done MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overall

MWright96, comments above. Also, did the delegation participate in any celebratory events between the end of their competitions and their departure from England? --Usernameunique (talk) 19:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Usernameunique: Have replied to the queries raised above and have made changes to the article. MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looks good, MWright96. Passing. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:10, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
