comment Unramified Galois representations not from smooth and proper stacks
So, David, are you saying that the situation is that we know the representations come from geometry and we know that they are good everywhere, but the reason we know the latter is not because we know the geometric objects are good everywhere? Rather we use some other technique to show this. (I haven't thought about this for a while, so really it's a bit unclear to me whether we know the representations themselves come from geometry, rather their restrictions to imag. quad. extensions are motivic. And the representations are patched together from these restrictions. ?)

comment Unramified Galois representations not from smooth and proper stacks
When I think of Galois representations that are not known to be motivic, I think of those automorphic ones constructed as $p$-adic limits. The fact that you want "no" ramification is imposing a "high" weight condition on the automorphic representations involved. So, maybe one could find some automorphic representations for GL(n) (n>2).

comment Effective detection of CM modular forms
So, you start with a normalized newform f and then you twist by some $\chi$ and let $f_\chi$ be the associated newform. Then, $f=f_\chi$ for some $\chi$ if $f$ is CM.
