Not cogent

This article is really bitty. One of us needs to take a long hard look at the content and shape it into something more readable. Even if the guy is a polymath, he deserves a more structured profile. Onanoff (talk) 00:19, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

I’m starting the process. The recent tagging was not helpful. Viriditas (talk) 23:26, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply
