Talk:Ted Morton

message: Regarding edit.  I tend to agree with WP:CRIT that integrating criticism of a subject through the article in relevant sections is preferable to creating a separate section collecting miscellaneous criticisms.  Like other controversial public figures, Morton has been criticized for a fair number of things throughout his career.  It seems much more natural to me to discuss criticisms of his tenure as a PC leadership candidate, as an MLA, as a Minsiter, etc. in those sections.  Issues like Bill 208, Métis gathering rights, and Kananaskis logging are all integrated into the relevant sections.  Is there any particular benefit to having a separate section just for criticism?--Trystan (talk) 06:10, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Alberta Separation: Add:
In 2020 Ted co-edited Moment of Truth: How to Think About Alberta's Future, with Jack Mintz and Tom Flanagan (Sutherland House). The book argues that Alberta is systemically disadvantaged by the political status quo and must unilaterally initiate new reforms to protect its future. These reforms include most of the actions advocated in the 2001 "Alberta Agenda" (aka, "Fire-Wall") Letter. They also overlap with the "Fair Deal" reforms recently endorsed by Alberta's current Premier,Jason Kenney, and his United Conservative government.
