Bucklin term confusion

This isn't a new article - someone else created it two and a half years ago. The wikipedia articles on 'Bucklin Voting' and 'Proportionality for Solid Coalitions' aren't particularly accurate and the latter omits references to a lot of important sources e.g. Dummet's Quota Borda System in 'Principles of Electoral Reform', Hill's sequential stv, gazeley's stv-edc, etc. EAR is a class of methods but the authors also specified a particular implementation of it which is definitely distinct from BTV. I'm not sure that BTV as defined by Quin and Stern is an implementation of EAR - will have to read their algorithm more closely. I appreciate it might not be appropriate to necessarily have separate pages for every single method. I tend to agree with your policy of trying to mirror wikipedia article structure but would like to have a discussion of whether what is currently on wikipedia currently is satisifactory or needs expanding. I have responded to your welcome message on my user page. [[User:Philpope|Philpope]] ([[User talk:Philpope|talk]]) 11:21, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 
another point while I think about it. Bucklin voting was historically used for multi-member elections, but the way it was implemented wasn't proportional, didn't satisfy PSC, and wasn't the method defined recently as BTV by Quin and Stern.
