Proportional Representation

edit

Hi Oln,

I'm afraid I am going to have to launch a formal complaint against BalCoder, as all he can do is revert and criticize. He has now reverted everything I have contributed en masse three times now, and has not contributed one edit himself in response to our discussions. At least if he was selective in his reversions or offered some text of his own to try to address the concerns I have expressed, I could understand. It seems he is incapable of considering any changes at all to what he wrote back in August - not even stylistic errors - and so no progress is being made on the page. However, I know you have been reading at least some of our discussion, so perhaps before I launch a call for dispute resolution, you have a comment offer on the talk page?Reallavergne (talk) 14:27, 27 September 2014 (UTC)Reply


Hello User:Oln, On the proportional representation article, User:BalCoder is engaging in bad faith edits/reversions such as arguing that First-past-the-post voting is only used in 3 countries, denying the existence of mixed electoral systems, arguing that MMP is always fully proportional, and arguing that all PR electoral systems use delineated districts. This user has also engaged in numerous personal insults. Please review the Talk:Proportional representation page, and provide assistance.Ontario Teacher BFA BEd (talk) 22:30, 3 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
