List

List created as per discussion on Boardwalk Empire article. Because of the strong historical basis for the characters a table is being utilized.--Hutcher (talk) 20:58, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Historical notes

I recommend removing the "historical notes" section of the table. The characters that are based on real people have been changed so much that it is difficult to compare them to the original. At any rate, the links to the real people are more than adequate, and anyone interested can read the corresponding article. The "historical notes" are irrelevant to the fiction stories of the characters on the tv show. ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 03:07, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Having received no response in the past 16 days, I am going to proceed with the changes I proposed above. ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 16:25, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mrs. McGarry

I don't see how the character of Mrs. McGarry could possibly be based on Susan B. Anthony, given that Ms. Anthony died in 1906 and the show is set in the 1920s. I've not identified any temperance proponent with a known affilation to Atlantic City. I propose to change this to "no historical basis" unless someone can provide a reference. Colonel Mayfair (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:18, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I find that claim highly dubious. ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 01:51, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
