Still allegations?[edit]

Hi. You've done lots of research setting this one up. If the allegations are still unproven, I suggest the title of the article may need changing. "Abuse scandal" suggests that there was real abuse. "Detainee transfer scandal" would be safer, although I admit it is jargon-y. What do you think? Canuckle 22:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Importance of the scandal[edit]

Most of the article is the well-sourced timeline. The story could be stronger about why the scandal is important or notable. Currently, the story portion can be summarized as there were claims made in the Globe and House of Commons and it was called a scandal. It would be useful to seem more description of what it was, what parties like Red Cross and Amnesty International thought of it, and what the consequences were. Hope you don't mind the feedback.

"Scandal," really?[edit]

I know there are two cites for the use of the word "scandal," but I wonder if "controversy" isn't more accurate and a bit more NPOV. --Rrburke^(talk) 17:00, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, scandal is a politically loaded term. Controversy or issue would be more appropriate. dcraig9 —Preceding undated comment added 21:41, 5 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Also agree. I have moved the article accordingly. --Natural R_X 03:02, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that scandal puts bias into the title, but think "issue" is a bit limp. Nobody can deny there's a controversy, though. But I'll defer if others disagree. C4AS (talk) 16:43, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article overhaul[edit]

I have given the article an overhaul to try and summarize most of the content into a proper article format instead of a timeline of events. The timeline has been preserved and can be found at Timeline of the Canadian Afghan detainee issue. I am not going to claim that it is perfect and welcome everybody to polish it up. --Natural R_X 02:38, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings NaturalRx:

Thank you for your contribution.

There is also the Wikipedia policy on attribution to be aware of. See this link: Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia

As you can see, I have now added the necessary attribution tags at the top of the Talk pages of both the "to" and "from" articles.
