Talk:William McCoy (rum runner)

Boardwalk Empire
May the article should mention that there's a character based on him in Boardwalk Empire, English is my second language so I wouldn't be comfortable doing it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.226.26.114 (talk) 03:01, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Name of article
If his name was William Frederick McCoy, where does William S. McCoy come from? --Big_iron (talk) 10:17, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * New to the page, good point. I'll look it up.--Kenneth M Burke (talk) 16:40, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

"gangster" category
He was a smuggler, but was not connected with organized crime, and pretty much only used guns to fire warning shots to keep from being captured, so some might dispute the "gangster" category... AnonMoos (talk) 11:40, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
