Hello, I'm Struway2. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Nikola Žigić, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Struway2 (talk) 10:01, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Adam Davies (footballer) (born 1992), English footballer. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Adam Davies (footballer). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Adam Davies (footballer) – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Way2veers 13:13, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Adam Davies
[edit]Sorry about that - I was sure I had checked before deleting that the other Adam Davies was the same as yours, but evidently not.
However, there is still a problem, so I have moved it into a "Userspace draft" page at User:Crofty 11/Adam Davies (footballer born 1992) where you can work on it. The problem is that Wikipedia's notability standard for footballers, explained at WP:NFOOTY, requires that to have an article a footballer must have actually played for the first team, and from Soccerbase it does not seem that Davies has, yet. So if you post the article now, it will be deleted; you will have to wait until you can add a reference to show that he has played.
The article as you posted it had problems with the infobox which meant it did not display right: you can see here the edit another user made to sort it out. In order for references to display properly, you need to have at the end of the article a heading == References == and then either <references /> or {{reflist}}. Also, the beginning of the reference was missing.
If you post an article while it is still in a muddle like that, it is more likely to be deleted: it is best to develop it in a user sub-page, and then you can play with it and experiment until you get it right. A good way to start an article is to click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title. When it is ready, you can either move it into the encyclopedia directly, if you are confident, using the "Move" tag and selecting "{Article)" in the left-hand box and making sure you have the title correct in the right-hand box; or you can click "Submit the article" in the box at the top, which will send it to WP:Articles for creation where someone will check it and either accept it or give you feedback.
There is good general advice at WP:Your first article and WP:Writing better articles.
