message: the state  motto of new jersy
Bonjour,
Pour la devise de la LOUISIANE il est écrit que "UNION JUSTICE & CONFIDENCE" serait du Français alors que c'est de l'Anglais.
Si c'était du Français ce serait "UNION JUSTICE & CONFIANCE".
Donc la mention "French" est erronnée car "CONFIDENCE" n'est pas du French mais du English qui signifie "confiance".
Au revoir.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.49.114.113 (talk) 17:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  LIST OF MOTTOS OF THE 50 US STATES 

message: I have a 1964 copy of THE NEW MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY, which has a nine-page appendix, "FOREIGN WORDS AND PHRASES INCLUDING STATE AND NATIONAL MOTTOES" [capitalization theirs].  It has the following mottos which are missing from List of U.S. state and territory mottos.  (I do not know the difference, if there is any, between a state motto and the motto of the Great Seal of a state.)
*cedant arma togae, motto of Wyoming
*tuebor, motto on Great Seal of Michigan
*scuto bonae voluntatis tuae coronasti nos, motto on Great Seal of Maryland

replies: text: Thanks for the question. Some states have designated an official state motto, which is listed. If they have no designated motto, then one on the seal is used. Michigan and Maryland both have two mottos on their seals, but only the ones listed in the article are considered the state mottos, according to their websites. Cedant arma togae was on the Flag of the Wyoming Territory, but there's absolutely no mention of it after statehood in 1890, and Equal Rights appeared on both its flag and seal around 1893. I don't know where your dictionary got their information, but they didn't do all their research. Reywas92Talk 23:30, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Which Wikipedia article is appropriate for listing "slogans" and "taglines" for states and territories?
For example, in no particular order:
* New York tag line: "State of Opportunity"
"New York jumps on 'brandwagon' with 'State of Opportunity'".
"New York State: Branding Overview and Guidelines and Architecture".
* Nebraska slogan: "Nebraska. Honestly, it’s not for everyone"
"Tourism chief says new slogan helped Nebraska pull in a record $5.9 million in lodging taxes".
quote: 'Nebraska has had a number of slogans through the years. One of the most well-known was "Nebraska ... the good life."'
* New Mexico slogan: "Everybody is somebody in New Mexico"
"Secretary of State of New Mexico: Slogan".
* Oklahoma slogan: "Imagine That"
"Imagine that: New Oklahoma brand confuses some".
