Is this about state laws, or the united states
What are you hoping for this article to be about? I see you added lots of coat rack back to it. Hypno Worm (talk) 00:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Looking at the article I don't see any coat racking. It's an article about the constitutionality of sex offender laws, and the content discusses the relevant laws and court cases. Can you be more specific about what in the article is a problem? ... disco spinster   talk  00:51, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I've indeffed them for that utterly unacceptable post to your talkpage. Whatever this user is up to, they've forfeited their privilege to edit with that edit summary.  Acroterion   (talk)   00:54, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Changes have been made to try to clarify the federal-state coverage of the article. The article probably needs to have the three federal sections collapsed into one as they are duplicative. There's no need for two supreme court sections and there's only one body of federal case law (yes, diff. circuits, but there's no discussion of a split and at best this merits a subheading).

Cleanup Needed
Following the no-consensus AfD vote at Movement to reform sex offender laws in the United States concerns were raised that there are four articles that deal with the subject of U.S. sex offender registries. They are: I think it's fair to say: Clearly these articles all need cleanup. I think we should look for ways to reduce the article count to 2 or 3. I have made a substantial revision to this article. Helping hands would be appreciated. It's time consuming, and not really my area of interest. Perhaps someone with expertise (any pro-registry advocates?) wants to help balance these out.

 * Sex offender registries in the United States
 * Effectiveness of sex offender registration policies in the United States
 * Constitutionality of sex offender registries in the United States
 * Movement to reform sex offender laws in the United States
 * Keep votes thought there was value to these articles but acknowledged that cleanup was required. Also the AfD nomination, and some recent blanking on these articles were done by apparent (now checkuser-blocked) sockpuppets, and this conduct should not stand. There was not consensus among the keep votes whether this was a "movement".
 * Delete votes focused on coatracking arguments, and the idea that there is no "movement". One argument said the decision to split these articles some 7 years ago was a "POV fork". While there was no explicit undue/balance complaints that seemed to be a theme.
