Speedy deletion nomination of Paul Miller Racing
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Paul Miller Racing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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, then please contact the deleting administrator. PamD 19:55, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Pittsburghmichaels. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Hudson Mall, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

- Please read the Talk pages of TV series articles before adding "end dates" – in most cases, such series have not been announced to be "officially" cancelled, and we can't "end dates" to Wikipedia articles like these until it is "officially" announced (e.g. by the TV network).

Speedy deletion nomination of Paul Miller (racing driver)
editHello Pittsburghmichaels,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Paul Miller (racing driver) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Use of UserboxCOI is malformed, and is insufficient if you being compensated
editHello Pittsburghmichaels. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Kimber Kable, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Pittsburghmichaels. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Pittsburghmichaels|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:58, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I had this on my watchlist and noticed you moved it, however did you know there was a discussion on the matter only 3 months ago that is on the talk page? I am sure that moves should be discussed first rather than enacted upon just because you can. I didn't participate in the discussion, but there was a consensus to move at the time. Bungle (talk • contribs) 13:46, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- I have reverted the move. I think Pittsburghmichaels was confusing the word "formally", indicating a longer official name, with "formerly" indicating a changed name. In truth, the addition of "Westfield" to the name after that landlord bought the mall, decades after it opened, is the change that is not the COMMONNAME. oknazevad (talk) 13:50, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Uncited and poorly cited material at The Mills at Jersey Gardens
editHi. Please stop adding uncited or poorly cited material to articles, as you did with this edit to The Mills at Jersey Gardens, as this violates Wikipedia's Verifiability policy.
The Century 21 webpage you cited for the claim that October 5 was the date of closing for that store in the mall makes no mention of that date.
Also websites w/ user-generated info, including other wikis like those on Fandom, are not considered reliable under WP:USERG.
You also misaligned the template values in the Infobox for no stated reason. If you going to make an edit like that, then please at least provide a rationale for it in your edit summary. Nightscream (talk) 17:44, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, Pittsburgh. Thanks for communicating with me.
- First, please make sure you sign your talk page posts, which makes it easier for everyone to know who they're addressing. You can do this by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of them, which also automatically time stamps them.
- Also, new sections should begin with a Level 2 heading, which requires 'two equal signs on either side of the title text. You can see this when you edit an article.
- As for your editing, you've been editing here since 2016, during which you've accumulated 686 edits. If you haven't already familiarized yourself with these policies, please do so.
- As for the photo, the uncited material was one of the problems, but there were also two others: First, there's not a lot of space in the article, which isn't that large right now, for a pic. But even if you did squeeze one in (and I wouldn't oppose it entirely), you should choose one that is a better representation of the mall, such as the one at the top of the American Dream Meadowlands. If you prefer an interior shot, one that shows more of it, like this shot of the Palisades Center, which shows all four of that mall's floors. Nightscream (talk) 18:34, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Please stop introducing false or uncited material
editPittsburgh, please stop making non-constructive or disruptive edits to articles, as you did with these edits to American Dream Meadowlands.
- In the first place, you deleted the Commercial Observer citation that had originally supported the mention that Barneys had filed for bankruptcy in July 2020 and was canceling their plans for their American Dream location.
- Then, you moved that passage further up in the article, and added mention that that decision occurred in September 2019, citing this source to justify this, yet that source makes no mention of September 2019, as it was published in July' 2019, which was before that company decided to file for bankruptcy. Naturally, that article does not say that Barneys had decided at that point to file for bankruptcy, but that it was "exploring" that option. Why would you do this?
- On a more minor note, Wikipedia does not use the preposition of when formatting dates, so such a date would be "September 2019", not "September of 2019".
- Lastly, there is no reason to add quotes to ref names, let alone to merely a few of the ones you did this with in the article.
Please be more careful regarding reading the sources you cite, and the way you compose your edits. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 21:47, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Since it is clear that you have no intention of adhering to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines regarding sourcing, in light of your persistent addition of uncited or unsupported material, and your ignoring the repeated warnings all over this talk page, with the most recent example being this addition of a opening date for the American Dream Observation Wheel- the second time I had to revert it and inform you that the date given in the cited source is not for the wheel, but another part of that Mall, I'm letting you know that I'm going to look into having you blocked from editing. Nightscream (talk) 18:12, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hello @Nightscream,
- The title for article about American Dream's luxury wing and observation wheel from northjersey.com is Ferris wheel, champagne bar and Saks all opening at American Dream this fall. This indicates that the Ferris wheel will open alongside the luxury wing at American Dream. The article also has a paragraph that says "Coinciding with the opening, the Ferris wheel called the Dream Wheel is on schedule to be completed." Which also indicates that the observation wheel will open the same day as the luxury wing. Also under the section of the American Dream page titled Completion, opening, and pandemic closure (2019–present). It says "on July 8, 2021 American Dream announced that The Avenue, the luxury wing of the complex consisting of over 20 retailers and upscale eateries and named for its anchor store, Saks 5th Avenue, would open on September 17, 2021, as would the mall's Ferris Wheel." This features a credible reference and was done before I made the edit that you have messaged me about. I should also mention that the source for citation 111 is mentioned on American Dream's website, which also confirms that the Ferris wheel is opening on that day along with the northjersey.com article. So I would think that the complex's website would have correct information.
- I wanted to message you to explain why I made the edit and present to you this information as evidence.
- Thank You

Pittsburghmichaels (talk) 19:20, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
"This indicates that the Ferris wheel will open alongside the luxury wing at American Dream."
But not necessarily on the same date. What you're citing is simply the title of the article, which means that the article covers both of those things. It does not mean that therefore, all of the things being covered open on the same date.
An indication of how that article summarizes that information can be found in its opening paragraphs:
- A huge Ferris wheel and luxury retail wing featuring a champagne bar are the latest attractions scheduled to open this fall at American Dream mall.
- The retail wing dubbed "The Avenue" will open on Sept. 17 and be anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue, which is making its return to New Jersey after closing its last Garden State store, at the Mall at Short Hills, five years ago.
In other words, both the Ferris wheel and the luxury retail wing are both things opening in the Fall. That is not the same thing as saying that both thing are going to occur on the same date, which what you specified in the Wikipedia article.
"The article also has a paragraph that says "Coinciding with the opening, the Ferris wheel called the Dream Wheel is on schedule to be completed." Which also indicates that the observation wheel will open the same day as the luxury wing."
No it doesn't.
The word "coincide" does not mean "on the same date." We can agree that it means both are happening at the same time, but that is only generally true, and does not mean "on the same exact date," a bit of nuanced reasoning that you seem to have difficulty with.
"Also under the section of the American Dream page titled Completion, opening, and pandemic closure (2019–present). It says...
Correct. But you didn't cite that source. You cited a different source that did not state that.
In addition, there's another point your edit misses: The date on which each store, section, wing, attraction, etc., opens is covered in -- gasp! --- the History section. The attractions section, however, is to list things in summary form. This is what such sections are for, such as the Infobox, the Lead section, tables, etc. They tend to simply either list or otherwise summarize bare-bones information in stripped-down form without historical details. There is no reason to list historical details in both the History section and in summary-type sections, unless they're major ones like the opening dates of the mall in Lead. Nightscream (talk) 19:38, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Nightscream,
- Thank you for responding. I understand what you are saying. I thought that since the observation wheel of the complex was something that was planned since either 2008 or 2009 and it was touted as a unique attraction at the complex, that the attractions section of that article should at least mention when it opens up. I realize that I did something wrong and that the observation wheel may not necessarily open on September 17. Regarding you looking into having me blocked from editing. I know I have a record of incidents like this on Wikipedia, and I am willing to comply and not do stuff like this anymore. I am willing to do whatever I can to prevent a edit ban from happening.
- Thank You
- ~~~~ Pittsburghmichaels (talk) 20:02, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- Okay. I appreciate your saying that. Now if I could observe an actual change in your editing habits go forward, that would certainly reassure me. Nightscream (talk) 20:06, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Nightscream,
- So in order for to prevent a edit ban for me. Would you be checking on my Wikipedia profile to see what I am doing and if I am doing enough good edits, would you would notify me at a certain point that a edit ban won't happen to me ? With the American Dream page, in the future if I want to do a edit for that page, should I just message you what I want to do and you could provide guidance on that and tell me if I should go ahead with the proposed edit or not ? Since I know we have had multiple discussions before on that specific page before. Pittsburghmichaels (talk) 20:23, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry I forgot to do the 4 tildes and I know you mentioned that to me before.

- I will not pursue a block at this time. You said you would cease the behavior in question, so I'll take you at your word. I will simply continue monitoring the articles that are on my Watchlist to which you tend to contribute, like American Dream, Jersey Gardens, etc. If you're sincere in your stated intention to adhere to policy, then I simply expect to see it reflected in your continued edits to those articles going forward. Beyond this, if you have ever have any questions, or need advice, just ask. Nightscream (talk) 21:31, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
Pittsburgh, you need to stop. Period.
I am really tired of cleaning up after the mess you keep dumping into the American Dream article.
I decided to hold off on requesting a block for you, because it seemed that you were genuinely interested in improving your editing and writing habits.
And yet, with your most recent edits, you continue to violate the same policies and guidelines, and ignore the problems I've been pointing out in my edit summaries for months. Specifically:
- You wrote "The game room is scheduled to open in 2022", but there is no citation for this. If it was supported by the NorthJersey.com cite you wrote right before, it why did you place this last sentence after the cite? (Please see WP:PAIC.)
- You don't connect two sentences with a comma.
- The passage "On September 14 2021, Hasbro announced that the company would open a game room at American Dream called The Game Room Powered By Hasbro" and "the game room will feature many Hasbro brands such as..." are TWO DIFFERENT SENTENCES. That means when one ends, it ends in a period, and the next one begins with a captial letter.
- The names "Monopoly", "G.I. Joe", and "Candy Land" do not include commas, so why would you include commas in the wikilinks for those names?
- Spaces do not precede citations. Again, see WP:PAIC.
- The website's name is NorthJersey.com. Not North Jersey Media Group.
- You include the dates on which you accessed the websites, but you omitted the publication dates, which is far more relevant, and which remains constant? Why is this? Why include the former but omit the latter?
- Dates in an article should follow the same consistent format. (See WP:DATESNO.) The ones in the American Dream article follow the Month-Date-Year format.
- For the umpteenth time, "Allison Pries | NJ Advance Media for" is not a first name. Simiilarly, "NJ.com" is not a surname, and the name of the website is NJ.com. It is not "nj".
- Seriously, do you even bother proofreading or previewing your edits before saving them? Have you never noticed that I've mentioned all these problems in the edit summaries with which I've been forced to fix all these things? Are you aware that for at least months now, you've been composing citations that look like this:
- {{Cite web|last=NJ.com|first=Allison Pries {{!}} NJ Advance Media for|date=2021-09-17|title=American Dream mall opens luxury wing today including Saks Fifth Avenue’s return to N.J.|url=https://www.nj.com/news/2021/09/saks-fifth-avenue-makes-its-return-to-nj-as-american-dream-debuts-luxury-wing.html|access-date=2021-09-17|website=nj|language=en}}{
- Hello @Nightscream,
I know I promised that I would improve my editing behavior on Wikipedia, and I have been trying to do so and I am still committed to improving my editing habits. Yes I did proofread that edit about the American Dream game room multiple times. I use the auto cite tool on Wikipedia, and I think there might have been some technical issues after I published the edit, which I did not see after because I did not make most of those changes like putting in North Jersey Media Group, omitted the publication dates and I also did not put Allison Pries NJ Advance Media for the first name and I also did not use NJ.com as a sur name.I strongly believe that these were technical issues with the auto cite tool because I did not make those changes related to the citation. I did put comas for Monopoly, GI Joe and Candyland and I take responsibility for that. I am trying to use good grammar and I thought that those brands mentioned together could use commas. For the game room opening in 2022, yes that was supported by the NorthJersey.com citation. I thought I would end the sentence first and then add the estimated opening year in a new sentence. I now realize that is not the right thing to do. I also take responsibility for that. With my citations looking the way you have put in your message to me. I also think it's the auto cite tool since I have only ever used the auto cite tool on Wikipedia and I know I have said this before in my message back to you, but I strongly believe that it's the auto cite tool since I check my edits before I click the save button and it looks fine before I save the edits.
I am really trying to keep my promise to you to improve my editing habits and I am really trying to do so. I understand your frustration and I want to continue to improve my habits and I am very sorry for what happened. I am also committed to taking responsibility for my actions on Wikipedia, but I think that some of what you saw was caused by technical issues with the auto cite tools, because some of the things that you point out in your message to me are things that I swear that I never made changes to begin with.
Thank You

- I figured you were using some type of automated tool for cites, but I pointed out these errors numerous times in my edit sumamaries, and you either didn't notice, or didn't care to improve. Perhaps I should've made a point of mentioning those things here. In any event, regardless of whether you do everything manually like me or use a tool, you should preview your edits or check them after saving them (or both), especially you know you're prone to errors like that. I tend to avoid those errors, and yet, I still preview or check my edits after saving them (or both), which allows me to catch most of my own typos. This includes checking the full citations to see what they look like in the References section. I would ask that you examine the errors I described above and maintain similar preview/check habits. Thank you for your response. Feel free to restore your recent edits, while keeping these things in mind. Thanks again. Nightscream (talk) 20:54, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hello @Nightscream,
- Thank you for responding. and reading my message. I'll be sure to preview my edits before clicking the save button.
- I have a question for you. Would it be ok, if I put on the American Dream Wikipedia page that The Avenue At American Dream shopping wing officially opened on September 17 2021 ? That event did happen and there are plenty of articles about it. Wikipedia says that the complex announced that opening date but it does not say that that wing of the complex officially opened. I wanted to check with you first, before I made the edit. Pittsburghmichaels (talk) 16:43, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
@Pittsburghmichaels: I believe the article already mentions that event. Why not restore the previous material you added that I removed, albeit with the considerations I described above? Nightscream (talk) 17:03, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Nightscream,
- Ok. Yes I'll restore my edits to the American Dream page with the considerations you mentioned before. Pittsburghmichaels (talk) 19:02, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hey @Nightscream,
- I just restored my edit about the Hasbro Game Room at American Dream. I have made some modifications to the edit, so it will look a little bit different. I also previewed my edit before clicking the save button and caught an error with the citation that I went and manually fixed. But I did check multiple times the citation and the the sentence I put about the Hasbro game room at American Dream.
- Thanks Pittsburghmichaels (talk) 19:17, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Pittsburghmichaels: Not bad. A definite improvement. Couple of things, though: Please read the fixes and improvements I made, which I described here. Thanks again. :-) Nightscream (talk) 20:05, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @Nightscream,
- Just read your improvements you made. I'll be sure to keep that in mind next time.

Aura K. Dunn in Bernardsville vs. Mendham Borough
editThese edits placed Aura K. Dunn in Bernardsville, New Jersey, but the source in the article says that she's a resident of Mendham Borough, New Jersey. What source do you have that places her in Bernardsville? Alansohn (talk) 13:17, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Alansohn,
- I read some article that she lived in Bernardsville. I did some research today that she lived in Mendham Boro. So I guess that article was wrong. I'll make the changes on the NJ 25th district template back to Mendham Boro, since I notice you made the changes on her Wikipedia page back to Mendham Boro Pittsburghmichaels (talk) 13:23, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking and making the change. Alansohn (talk) 13:35, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
