GA review

This article is clearly writted, informative, and interesting. Sadly, though , the new GA policy requires in-line citation (to a reasonable amount), and, though it gives its sources, this article doesn't say which is used where. Add that in (or add additional sources that cite the information), and this article will surely pass on resubmittal.

I'd say mainly the McCoy stuff should be cited. The rest'd probably be fine with a couple (accurate) cites here and there. Adam Cuerden ^talk 02:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Bootlegging

The disambiguation page for bootlegging sends people to this page. However most of the articles with a link to bootlegging are regarding US prohibition and related cross land alcohol smuggling and creation as opposed to traditional rum-running.

This page could do with expanding this side of the issue to make it more relevant to those pages linking to it. Either that or if there is a significant difference between rum-running and bootlegging maybe creating a new page or expanding the bootleg dab page into an article...? extraordinary 12:25, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

change rum-running to bootleggers

What kind of whisky did Captain McCoy smuggle?

The article was just edited to change "Irish and Canadian whisky" to "Irish and Canadian whiskey". There is a bit of a conflict there, as it is "Irish whiskey" but "Canadian whisky". Beyond that, however, this obituary of McCoy mentions his smuggling of Scotch whisky, but says nothing of the Irish and Canadian versions. So, is there a source that states that McCoy smuggled Irish and Canadian whisk(e)y? -- Donald Albury 15:51, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

rum-running today and alcohol restricted municipalities

I don't have any sourcing handy to begin writing it but something should be added about alcohol running into dry town/counties. The villages of Alaska would be a good example since many of them are "dry" (ban the sale and/or importation of alcohol). Cat-five t c ---- 01:57, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
