Based on the example of Instant-runoff voting, this article should mention, in the lead section, the common names for STV from within the Anglosphere. P-RCV (Proportional Ranked Choice Voting) is a name used for STV by Fairvote, which is by far the largest American political organization advocating for STV. I have reflected this fact with a clause in the first sentence of the lead. It would be better fit this information elsewhere in the lead section; however, I do not believe it should be buried entirely in the terminology subsection.
It would be better practice to get good WP:RELIABLE sources on terminology around STV. Although this can't be a basis for an edit because it's WP:NOR, I have never heard any of the described "American" terms for STV besides "Multi-member Ranked Choice Voting" and "Proportional Ranked Choice Voting."

Closed Limelike Curves, what leads you to believe that this article was edited for pay? And what cleanup do you think is necessary? Eeidt (talk) 16:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
See counting single transferable votes, which probably needs to be merged into here. –Sincerely, A Lime 04:13, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
Prose size (text only): 71 kB (11968 words) "readable prose size"), so merging more content into this article makes no sense. It probably makes more sense to move some of the counting parts of this article to Counting single transferable votes. —Joeyconnick (talk) 04:20, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
If, as editor Closed Limelike Curves has extremely boldly stated, The name "proportional ranked-choice voting" can refer to a wide variety of methods including CPO-STV, Schulze STV, or the Bucklin Transferable Vote. See also instant-runoff voting#Terminology.
then Proportional Ranked Choice Voting needs to point to a disamgiuation page and not to this page.
I'd also advise ClosedLimelikeCurves that they should consider breaking up their edits into smaller chunks so other editors can better follow them, along with providing edit summaries and, most importantly, sources for dramatic changes they wish to incorporate. —Joeyconnick (talk) 18:49, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
The examples in the article are all flawed in that everyone votes for the same 2nd choice candidate. This can give the implication that some votes count twice where others don't, or that only the plurality second choice votes get transferred or other misconceptions given the example appears before the surplus vote transfer systems are explained. It'd be better to replace them (or at least the second one, done by party) with a vote where the surplus votes are transferred proportionally. 1rre (talk) 11:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Contrary to what Closed-Limelike said, Largest-Remainder uses party-lists just like the other party-list allocation-rules.
Closed-Limelike announced at the Election-Methods mailing-list, that he is rewriting electoral Wikipedia articles.
Given his many confusions, idiosyncratic name-changes, & mis-statements at EM, that’s a cause for concern.
I suggest that you not let him do so unless he first announces & justifies his changes at this talk page. 2600:6C55:7900:2B8:BD0D:46B:4B79:40A5 (talk) 19:50, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
