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)

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)

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)

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)
• 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)

Men

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

Women

• Any images of Nikiema available?
  • There are no freely licensed images of Nikiema available MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
• 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)
• 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)

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)
• 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)

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)
  • @Usernameunique: Have replied to the queries raised above and have made changes to the article. MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
    • Looks good, MWright96. Passing. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:10, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
