I moved

I moved the main Miller v. California case back here because it's invariably the case intended. The others are at the bottom just in case someone sees a reason to create them. Jamesday 03:26, 24 May 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia and this article contain no entry on Pope v. Illinois, which clarifies and restricts the "community standards" test described here significantly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.59.182 (talk) 21:31, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Duplication

It seems paragraphs 5 & 6 of the "History" section in this article is a word-for-word duplication of paragraphs 6 & 7 of the "The case" section in Roth v. United States. I don't know if this is acceptable Wiki-policy or not, but I thought I'd mention it in case it's not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.129.94.61 (talk) 19:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I removed it. Malke 2010 (talk) 23:08, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Synthesis

I added the Synthesis template for whole article. This article contains large amounts of analysis based solely on primary sources (the case opinions) not independent analysis (secondary sources). - Stillwaterising (talk) 18:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

texts and citations

I have added some citations for New York v. Ferber, Ashcroft V. Free Speech Coalition, Ashcroft v. ACLU, and a citation for Justice Potter Stewart rulings and quotes.
I have added text concerning Justice rulings prior to the miller case, and text pertaining to community standard and the Internet.Ron Q Craig (talk) 02:56, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Removed section and added new one

I removed the "case law" section because it repeated verbatim the 3 prongs of the Miller test that were already established in earlier sections multiple times.

Also separated last section into "Definition of obscenity post-Miller" and "Effects of the decision" to separate legal and other effects. Agree with above user that the Pope v Illinois decision is important but doesn't have a page.
