Moved to namespace in timely fashion; barely long enough (~1900 elig. chars.); QPQ done; Earwig finds minimal copyvio (there are only so many ways to express the idea "at the end of"); initially thought that "five years ago" in sources and the 2004 date didn't line up, but this is all from ten years ago so it's fine. Numerous grammatical mistakes in the article and even several in hook above, but they're fixed now.
The problem is that the hook is very cute but (a) doesn't really reference the page name or the song itself in any real way (MOS:EGG and (b), however unintentionally, endorses the racist secessionist/segregationist idea at the center of the controversy. The South will not rise again the way the people who say that phrase originally meant it.
If the admins here (@BlueMoonset:, @Yoninah:, @SMcCandlish:, et al.) are fine with this kinda Trumpbating, everything else in the article is fine and good to go. @EEng:, am I being a stick-in-the-mud? or is this not funny enough to be worth the squicky tagline? — LlywelynII 16:06, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
