I will be reviewing this, comments will probably be finished in the next 72 hours! Arconning (talk) 12:13, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Prose and MoS

• This article is sadly far from GA standard but there has to be more broader information regarding the topic, and more sources outside the International Paralympic Committee. I do sincerely apologize, but ping me if you plan to nominate it again as I am willing to review it again. Wikipedia:QUICKFAIL

Lead and infobox

• Remove the bolded text in the infobox and make it say "1 in 1 sport".
• I also suggest putting the dates in the infobox using the start_date and end_date parameters, also Rio de Janeiro, Brazil instead of Rio de Janeiro itself, compared to more new GAs about multi-sport events.
• Burkina Faso sent a delegation to compete at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 7 to 18 September 2016., this could be reformatted as Burkina Faso competed at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which was held from 7 to 18 September 2016.. Compared to other more new GAs about multi-sport events such as Tuvalu at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
• He competed in one event, the men's 100 metres T54 competition, where he was eliminated in the heat stages because he was last in his heat and only the top two participants in a heat progressed to the semi-finals., as with this: remove the "competition", state heat stages as heats, and because he was last in his heat and only the top two participants in a heat progressed to the semi-finals. to as he was last in his heat and only the top two participants in a heat could progress to the semi-finals..

Background

• The country has never won a gold or silver medal before.[1] The 2016 Summer Paralympics were held from 7–18 September 2016 with a total of 4,328 athletes representing 159 National Paralympic Committees taking part.[2] . The nation itself has never won any color of a medal at the Paralympics, probably mistaken with the Olympics as they won a bronze medal recently in the men's triple jump. Omit the "with a total of 4,328 athletes representing 159 National Paralympic Committees taking part.[2]", as I see it irrelevant to the nation's participation at the Games.

Disability classifications

• I suggest to omit this section entirely. Although it's related to the Paralympics, it doesn't focus on Burkina Faso's participation at these Games. You could put information regarding the singular athlete's disability classification at the "Athletics" section.

Athletics

• The section is a bit short but it could be improved with more information about the location, the time, the date, etc.
• As mentioned beforehand, you should mention the information regarding Ouedraogo's disability classification over here.
• Men's 100m - T54 event. , wikilink to Athletics at the 2016 Summer Paralympics – Men's 100 metres T54 and type it as men's 100 metres T54.
• In Round 1 Heat 2, make it a bit more prose-like by wording it like In the first heat,..., as there weren't "rounds" technically. Could also mention what lane he was in.
• Could also mention the winner of the overall race, stating "[Athlete] of [Nation at the 2016 Summer Paralympics|Nation] eventually won the gold medal in a time of [time]."
• The table links to Athletics at the 2016 Summer Paralympics rather than Athletics at the 2016 Summer Paralympics – Men's 100 metres T54, should probably change that. Also rename it as Men's 100 m T54.
• Capitalize the first word in "Did not advance" and omit the source as it's already mentioned in the body.
• Subheader should be renamed to "Track & road events" and there should also have a "key" as follows:

Key

• Note–Ranks given for track events are within the athlete's heat only
• Q = Qualified for the next round
• q = Qualified for the next round as a fastest loser or, in field events, by position without achieving the qualifying target
• NR = National record
• N/A = Round not applicable for the event
• Bye = Athlete not required to compete in round

Images

• No images now (besides the flag) but it could be improved using an image of the stadium as a visual guide where the athletics events were held.

Refs

• Though the refs are reliable, they heavily rely on the International Paralympic Committee. If there isn't coverage outside of their participation from other sources that kinda hinders it.
• For the seventh reference, the publisher should be replaced with the Rio 2016 Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
• In the background section, you could mention that the nation held a national para-sport event in attempts to grow the national team. [1] I do apologize if this is sorta hypocritical of me.
• No copyright violations though.

Misc

• No ongoing edit war, not really broad nor focused information about the topic as mentioned beforehand, though it's pretty neutral with no signs of bias at all.
