Canada section

Please feel free to add on the Canada section. Do not undo the section because you think it’s bad. It is not bad. WikiGrower1 (talk) 23:00, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Did you read the edit summary editor Meters (talk · contribs) provided when they reverted your changes? The material uses "overly close paraphrasing that introduces grammar and other errors". I concur with that judgement. You cannot take an original source's content, change one or two words, then publish it here - it's a copyright violation. All source content needs to be interpreted in your own words, accurately and clearly, before being added to the encyclopedia. The grammar, syntax, and construction, and formatting of the content that was added is very poor, and not encyclopedic. May I ask if you are a native english speaker? If this is a difficulty with the language, please ask for appropriate help - here on the talk page - in crafting content that's appropriate for the public encyclopedia.

Always keep in mind: this is a public encyclopedia, and we need to present correct information, sourced appropriately, and written clearly, so that our readers can understand the content. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 00:04, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

WikiGrower1, there's some useful information in those sources, but we cannot use it as is. When your block ends, please do not restore it again without summarizing it in your own words, and in grammatical English. Meters (talk) 06:02, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

What the heck is going on? I am not sure why this discusiion is going on but it needs to stop. I request an administrator stop this discussion and stop it from history because I think it might be doing harm. Discrimination is real222 (talk) 14:51, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

An addition to Alternatives for imprisonment

Would it be appropriate to add “diversion programs” in the “alternatives to prison” section but not a list of all of them to not be redundant? The reason I ask is it is basically typically for low level offenders where instead of going to prison, the offender would have the criminal charges and have them removed if meeting certain conditions like (eg. Paying restitution, community service) ~2026-48597-57 (talk) 20:53, 11 September 2026 (UTC)
