Evaluate the drafted changes

 * Lead: I think this is a great place for you to add more without using a lot of effort. Summarizing what you've read about various elections and then citing some overviews could help readers quickly understand that elections have and continue to look like. Is there a lot of corruption? A little corruption? What parties have historically won? Adding really general information that may even seem basic could help tie the article together.
 * Content: Content is good! I see the additional 2 paragraphs that really help provide a snapshot of those elections. Linking to all of the articles is really good work as well and helps further connect to other pages and make yours (and theirs) more accessible. I see that you've added some summaries in each election section which is great, so I think continuing to do that and adding a couple sentences for each would help flesh out the piece and improve its quality as a stand-alone wiki page.
 * The reference to terrorist attacks and protests are really interesting and as a reader I'd like to hear more! For your project, it's up to you if you think your efforts would be most well spent adding that information to the election page or other pages on Burkina Faso, but it seems like salient info that could potentially help a lot of readers.
 * New Info: There was the recent coup in January of this year that might have inspired new articles on elections in Burkina Faso more broadly, so going through that route could be fruitful. Not necessarily info on elections, but I can imagine it having some potential to fit into the page.
 * This might be an ongoing conversation on the boundaries you draw between Elections in Burkina Faso and Politics of Burkina Faso as two separate but intertwined wikipedia pages. Worth thinking about!
 * Sources: It may be useful to pull from another 2-3 sources so you can get a really broad grasp of the events & elections in general and find what else is missing from the page. That being said, all of your sentences are cited (which is wonderful) so I don't have any concerns. Keep doing what you're doing.
 * Format: As a note, you can also go in and insert excerpts from the other articles, making content more accessible from your page instead of just linking to other pages. I did some of that on my own page and it made the page much more thorough without the extra work of writing it myself. The excerpt code can require some maneuvering so if you need help just let me know!
 * Language: Being more specific with language will both clarify and add substance (word count = grade), making it a win-win. Breaking longer, more narrative sentences into a multiple short and clear sentences instead will make it much easier. It feels super weird because it's the opposite of essay writing, but approaching it as a factual report rather than an academic writing assignment may help.
 * Overall: I like what you're doing! Linking is important work and just continuing to do that is significant. Overall I don't have any concerns, looks good to me :)
