This reads like a campaign ad

I was looking something about Utah, and I stumbled upon this article. I wikified it, for the sake of it, but in that process I came to think that it looked like some copied a campaign ad and pasted it without even looking at the result. So I added the "this reads like an advertisement" template. A sentence like "A favorite hobby is watching Utah’s future" is a spin doctor's phrase if there even was one. I can't actually edit the data as I don't know anything about that Mr Wilson, but this article, as it is now, could be summed up as "Vote for him!", even though he's not running for anything at present, as far as I know.

This comment is outdated (2007), stale, inaccurate, and should be removed. 136.38.71.221 (talk) 16:44, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has been an awfully long since somebody posted. Here is the reference to the film "The Grand Rescue" that was created by the PBS station KUED at the University of Utah: http://www.kued.org/pressroom/the-grand-rescue-tells-true-story-legendary-grand-teton-rescue I just watched it the other night after recording it on DVR and am kicking myself for deleting it. He was also involved in ice climbing with very primitive equipment: http://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/outdoors/ci_14136118 I don't know exactly what it is that you want but he was mayor for much of the time I spent acquiring BS degrees in Psychology and Mathematics at the University of Utah (other name David Alexander Harvey). As far as I know, nobody other than maybe his Republican opponents and their supporters have anything negative to say about Ted Wilson the mayor. I have been pleased with people of both major political parties that have served as Governor and other political positions. Here are some of his recommendations for hiking trails: http://www.cityweekly.net/utah/summer-guide-andrsquo08-trail-mix-best-hikes-in-and-around-salt-lake-city/Content?oid=2133069 IOW, there is plethora of information about Ted Wilson. But much if not most of it usually won't be about politics from my angle because I am an Independent and don't follow it all that much. hhhobbit (talk) 09:57, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
