Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing of Droop quota, instant-runoff voting, single transferable vote, counting single transferable votes, and electoral quota by a series of IPs. IPs do not belong to a single range that could be excluded by a range block, but all appear to be the same person. IP often introduces mistakes, typos, unsourced content, confusing or unclear wording that breaks up the flow of the text, and external links into the body of the article (prohibited by MOS). – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 16:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a formal close on my part, but ... have you tried talking with them about this? I agree that, since at least some of the IPs resolve to the same area of Alberta, and the writing style seems the same, it's the same user on different IPs (probably the school connection and the home connection). On Talk:Droop quota they've opened up two sections that might be relevant and to which no one has responded (and on Counting single transferable votes I see no sign of disruption as the article hasn't been edited much in the last two months). Nothing you wrote, and nothing I saw, indicates that the user is editing in anything but good faith. Yes, cleaning up after them is a pain but ... when you don't let them know they're doing the right things the wrong way, don't expect them to stop doing it that way.
