Untitled[edit]

A merge of the two articles would probably be fine if:

1) There is a redirect from one to the other.

2) It is made clear why this company has two names.

A merge might not have been necessary if the writer of the Morton International, Inc. article had made a redirect from "Morton Salt" (the company name that is generally known to the public) in the first place. Badagnani 19:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If merged, please retain under Morton Salts. Thanks. 198.65.167.213

Removed link[edit]

Re [1] (Badagnani): The link was originally added by what I suspect to be a sock of the owner of the site (whom I've blocked for spamming) and who twice evaded my questions about the copyright status of his pages. Thus I don't think the link is appropriate. Femto 16:07, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked through the page and it seems of historical interest and value. Badagnani 16:26, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, let's put it more clearly: There is reason to believe that the owner of the site has no permission to publish these images, and that knowingly directing others to the link may not be acceptable per Wikipedia's policy. Go on, you can ask him. Last time, the talkpage was 'archived' two hours after I posted a straight question about it.

We're here to build an encyclopedia of free content, not to link to that of others. If these images are of encyclopedic value, and if they are legal, at least a few of them can—and should—be uploaded by this user. Which hasn't happened, despite an earlier request to do this instead of adding more links. Femto 11:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Information doesn't add up[edit]

If the founder of the company, Joy Morton, was born in 1855, how could the company have begun in 1848? Clearly, the company history has been oversimplified. We need more detail in order to resolve this contradiction. 71.219.225.102 (talk) 21:00, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wall Collapse Date[edit]

The article lists the wall collapse of the Morton Salt storage facility on Elston Ave in Chicago as having occurred in 2016, citing a Sun Times article. However, I believe the collapse occurred in 2014. Most news sources are from this happening December 30, 2014. 2600:1700:5651:730:9D8F:5A1A:F98A:E57 (talk) 02:33, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide details for one or more of these sources identifying 2014 as the year.—ADavidB 02:49, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
