Although this is probably one of the better language "particle" pages on Wikipedia, there are a few outstanding items I'd like to add, improve or explore:
Use lang and transl templates where appropriate
Consider removing the Izumi example from the lead or finding a better reference (it could be ni+wa compound instead)
Improve description of "ga" vs "no" (maybe too complex for this page?)
Split SFP "i" from the "wa/wai" section, as it's not the same particle
Revisit the "binding particles" section as it lacks an intro and only has one particle in there (perhaps get inspiration from Hachijo)
Reconsider the description of the SFP "ga"
Add common compound forms, e.g. "den" (de+mo), "gane", "gayo", "yosa", etc. (see also this discussion)
Double-check a couple 1906-1910 references
Theory to verify: /zo/ > /do/ (based on the loan *zondag* becoming *dontaku*)
Long-term: Consider creating maps visually showcasing where different forms are used.
