I see that your first and only editing here, apart from the message to me, was a full-length biography of Kruger.

You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives and read the guidance below:


 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.


 * Although most of your text is referenced, it's mainly to her own papers or other sources associated with her. By definition, her own papers are not independent third-party sources, and don't contribute to notability because it's part of the job. Publications should be listed under that heading with no further reference, we need to know what independent sources write about her.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.


 * Apart from the spamlink for the book, you also give us a cherry-picked review of the book, which is also promotional. Her notability depends on her academic status and awards, not on what people think of her book.
 * One of your sources is her publisher's sales page for the book, an obvious spam link, another the author is "advertorial"


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Please check that you can find independent third party sources. If you are writing about yourself, or someone you know as a friend, colleague, client, employer or relative, you have a conflict of interest, and you must disclose the nature of that COI.

Reason for choice of topic
@Jimfbleak I am writing this biography as a project to increase the number of notable South African psychologists on Wikipedia. Aside from Professor Kruger working at my university, there are no other conflicts of interest (she is not my lecturer). Please allow me to amend the article accordingly. I thought to write on her published book as it was relevant to her work as a feminist psychologst/ psychoethnographer but will adjust/remove that section if it appears promotional. I will also gladly attend to other reccomendations but please allow me to do so instead of simply deleting the entry. Mattmorton99 (talk) 10:36, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. In the interests of transparency, please add what you have said in the first two sentences above to the article talk page. I'll restore the page shortly, please make sure you follow my guidance above with regard to her journal article and the book Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:07, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Will do so. Thank you for your help and understanding, just to quickly check, is this basic outline of the book fine?:
 * Outline of the book "Of Motherhood and Melancholia: Notebook of a Psycho-ethnographer"
 * "Of Motherhood and Melancholia: Notebook of a Psycho-ethnographer" explores the lives of low-income mothers in post-apartheid South Africa through the use of clinical and research data obtained from the residents of Dwarsrivier Valley. Mattmorton99 (talk) 11:34, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Lastly, did you approve of any of the sources used? Thank you again for your assistance. Mattmorton99 (talk) 11:40, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
