The current infobox list
ISFDB lists for Moorcock (^) all of those except James and Janson, if we equate "William Ewart B." and "William B."
According to ISFDB, 'Philip James' is a name used by James Philip Cawthorn (1929–2008).
According to SFE, "After he entered sf around 1954, his career was largely defined by his relationship with Michael Moorcock"
On Cawthorn see also the preceding section.
According to ISFDB, Hank Janson is a name used by Stephen Frances (1917–1989)
SFE agrees, and adds that it became a "house name" used by various writers. Used for mainly for thrillers; used for SF novels only by Frances.
ISFDB lists two more for Moorcock.
Thus ISFDB attributes work, wholly or partly to Moorcock, under the other names listed at the top of the section. Moorcock alone unless "joint" or "shared".
ISFDB also covers "M.J. Moorcock" and "Mike Moorcock" but those are variants we would not call or label "pen names".
Which should be listed in the infobox? Should James Colvin be distinguished there? Certainly Colvin should be covered in prose, at greater length than we do now. Anyway that prose section needs other sources, for ISFDB does not support the particular things we say now.

Roger Harris is NOT a pseudonym of Mike's. Roger Harris is a real person. He wrote "The LSD Dossier" which was then edited by Mike. I have this verbally and also in writing from Mike, who says in his inscription to my copy of The LSD Dossier "This was cobbled together by me. MM" Keithbowden ( talk) 12:05, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

The lede of this article states, "His [Moorcock's] publication of Bug Jack Barron by Norman Spinrad as a serial novel was notorious; in Parliament some British MPs condemned the Arts Council for funding the magazine."
There are two problems with this sentence:

Moorcock only performed with BOC Front Man Eric Bloom, not Blue Oyster Cult as a band. They performed two songs, Veteran of the Psychic Wars and Black Blade. Aapold ( talk) 01:13, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
