It would be interesting to know why these mottos are so often in foreign languages. Aaker 15:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
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)
I think someone hacked the quote for CO :) Not me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.15.211.226 (talk) 03:36, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
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.)

Which Wikipedia article is appropriate for listing "slogans" and "taglines" for states and territories?
For example, in no particular order:

The table in § State, federal district and territory mottos contains three entries (Kentucky, North Dakota, and Vermont) with two mottos each. These are implemented by stuffing both mottos into the same table row, separated by <br> tags. This strikes me as silly, but more than that it defeats the entire purpose of formatting the data as a table.
What I'd like to do, instead, is split each of the dual-motto entries into two rows, with the state's name spanning both, and the rest of the data split up between the two rows accordingly. This more clearly associates each piece of related data, and avoids conflating unrelated information (like the citations for each motto). It doesn't interfere with table sorting at all. (The spanned row is simply duplicated before being sorted, so those three states end up with two rows apiece.)
You can see what that would look like at User:FeRDNYC/mottos. If nobody objects, I'll be bold and swap that version in for the table in this article. (My version also removes the explicit column widths, as MediaWiki almost always does a better job auto-sizing the table based on the contents and the available page area.)
