Categories in userspace[edit]
Hi! I wanted to let you know that I edited your sandbox entry so that the page would not show up in live categories. User pages should not show up in mainspace categories like "Information age" or similar - those are only meant for live articles, so please be careful about this. You can add categories to your page in anticipation of eventually moving something live, however the categories should be posted like this: Category:Information society or by using the no wiki tags: <nowiki> </nowiki>.
I also wanted to warn you about writing style - some of the content in your sandbox was written in a somewhat more casual tone, specifically "Another helpful and corresponding conceptual framework for understanding CI". This can be seen as a point of view statement, since what could be seen as helpful or corresponding could differ from person to person. You're still drafting work, but also be careful of relying too much on one source. The reason for this is that a variety of sources can show a better depth of research, coverage, and viewpoints. It can also potentially make it less likely that the page contains original research - or conclusions that an editor comes up with on their own - which doesn't belong on Wikipedia. (WP:OR)
