Picture

Can we use this picture? It's an 1878 book, so I'd think we can. Does someone have the skills to grab it, and can verify it's ok to do? LadyofShalott 02:21, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lady, you know my knowledge there is limited. Yes, I would say, it is legal. Now, how to get it, I don't know: wait. Drmies (talk) 04:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did it! File:Charleston female seminary.jpg. I selected in Google Books and some little wizard popped up and allowed me to save the one page. Rotatebot, apparently, will rotate it properly in the next couple of hours. Drmies (talk) 04:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Fantastic! Thanks! LadyofShalott 05:54, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture is athwart. Needs to be rotated. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:36, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Robert E. Lee day is over

Not in South Carolina. Working on these various Charleston articles I learned that War Between the States or even War of Northern Aggression is the preferred nomenclature, rather than Civil War. I'm not going to edit war over this, but that is clearly part of the local culture. My other reason is that I do not want to be accused, even obliquely, of having a "close paraphrase" as I don't need to listen to that shit. I apologize if that sounded harsh. I just don't want to get involved in those kinds of controversies (I learned my lesson, some editors hallucinate, and I avoid anything that can be confabulated into such a charge). 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The motto

More modernly, The Limelighters mentioned their translation of the motto as 'clean mind, clean body — take your pick'. The actually did say that in "The Slightly Fabulous Limelighters". But other than that, I'm just kidding. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:19, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
