Misleading phrasing
Under the subsection, "Other work, activism, and fellowships", there is a one line mention of Doctorow's coverage of the Sony-BMG DRM issue that is very misleading...
"Doctorow was involved in a controversy concerning digital rights management with Sony-BMG, ..."
I suppose technically it's true that if you write about an public issue, that you are somewhat "involved" but without clarification that line seems to imply that Doctorow himself engaged in some controversial activities. This really begs for much better phrasing. New~enwiki (talk) 00:55, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
Inconsistent regional spellings
The sentences in this article use inconsistent British and Canadian spellings. I’m nominating this article for improvement and making a to-do list. 2600 etc (talk) 01:15, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
