Today I will be critiquing the Wikipedia article titled Information Society. I will start by observing the layout and format of the article. This article has a nice layout there are headings and subheading that make it clear what the article is going to be about. This allows readers searching for specific information on an information society to jump ahead and quickly find the section of the article they are interested in. Next, I noticed along the side of their article there is a section included that list sub genres of information societies and a section of general aspects of information societies. The table of contents shows me that the  information is also laid out in a logical order by first giving a definition of the topic, then going into more detail on the information, and lastly, providing further reading the audience can use to research more about the topic. Lastly, I see that the contributors to the article included references for their cited information. The citation increase the credibility of this writer because I can see that this person has done their research.

In analyzing the information provided in the article the author or authors accomplished presenting the information evenly. They did not over represent or under represent the information. This was done by providing a section of critiques on information societies. I appreciate that the author was able to provide detail on the opposing view. However, some believe the author provided too much detail. This argument can be seen on the article's talk page, one commenter shared that they felt the article was written more like an essay and is information overload. However from the trainings on Wikipedia that I have received thus far. The articles are supposed to replicate that of an Encyclopedia, which before the world wide web were people's main source of information, so it is important that all aspects of the topic are covered. I can also praise the article for providing up to date information. Many of the references included in this article are no older than 20 years old, with the few older sources being mainly used to describe the history of information societies. I can also tell the information has been kept up to date after viewing the history page. Revisions to this article have been made as recently as February 16, 2017, which is less than 10 days ago. All in all, this article presents information about information societies in an adequate manner.

Not sure if I was supposed to or if it is possible to create a new sandbox page, but the article I edited was "Censorship in the United States." Their section on wikileaks and censorship, I felt like, lacked information on wikileaks itself.
