Thanks for your first article!
Polished up your article a bit. Not sure if the article will stay up, given that she's self published-- but it's certainly worth a try! Here are a few helpful things for new editors. First are a few links for getting going. Second is the Teahouse, a page where you can get friendly people to answer your questions and help you get started.

Since you're writing about a South African, here's a link to an event we just had:


 * Library of Congress Africa Collection Editathon

Africa is still way, way underrepresented in this encyclopedia, so any contributions you make on African topics are really appreciated. If you take a look at the pages below, you'll get a sense of how much is out there. (Movies might be fun to write about, for example ...)


 * List of missing Africa topics
 * List of wanted articles about Africa
 * WikiProject Africa/Articles to be written or improved'''
 * List of missing African Poetry articles
 * List of missing African Cinema articles
