The Oct 11 timestamps, around 11:00, are very un-Ontario - visiting another time-zone? Otherwise, unmistakably Ontario:

• Mixed-Member_Systems, an article created by Ontario (by hi-jacking the "Semi-proportional representation" article while providing no relevant RS to support a move [1] and claiming a non-existent consensus [2]):
  • [3], replacing the phrase "single winner" by "Plurality/Majoritarian". This was a fixation of Ontario's on the Proportional Representation page, e.g [4].
  • [5], "...the will of their party's political leader". Another curious idée fixe of Ontario's, detached from all RSs, that party lists are controlled by the party's "leader", witness one of Ontario's earliest posts [6].
  • [7] more "single winner" -> "Plurality/Majoritarian".
  • [8], and the previous edit, place Dual-member proportional representation in the "Mixed-member systems" category of a table rather than in "Proportional representation" - echoing one of Ontario's paramount aims, denying the proportionality of the "mixed-member proportional" system, e.g.[9]: "It is, quite frankly, in the middle", fundamentally misunderstanding, or mis-stating, how the system works.
    Also, the said table itself is an Ontario construct [10] and should have been deleted as spam (WP:Project spam [11]) but somehow escaped.
• The Template:Electoral systems edit [12], too, is true to Ontario's mixed-is-not-proportional principle. That this is even possible is also due to Ontario, who replaced the template's unambiguous classification, which had served nine blameless years, by one that is ambiguous and so open to the confusion and doubt that Ontario sowed [13]. One of only two people to add an item to the template since then was duly confused [14], an edit that now "ChampionshipNights" is "correcting". BalCoder (talk) 18:09, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Willowravine's first edits (both minor) were on Oct 9/10, about 8 hours after sock Neil Gamon was blocked. The edits referenced below as evidence of sock puppetry were all made on Oct 28.

• Proportional representation:
  • Compare renaming and promotion of section heading with renaming by blocked sock, promotion by blocked sock, renaming by master ("Two tier systems" changed to "Mixed Member Systems", near bottom), promotion by master.
  • Compare intolerance of any mention of sortition with the master's first removal, subsequent refusal to compromise.

• Mixed-member proportional representation:
  • Observe reverting of MMP lead section, and compare with the master's version. Note the inclusion of biproportional apportionment, which has nothing to do with MMP. This may be an attempt to support the misclassification of biproportional apportionment as a mixed-member system on the restructured PR acticle (Section 5). Also note the idea that MMP is semi-proportional being reintroduced in the MMP lead.

• Semi-proportional representation:
  • Observe portrayal of MMP as semi-proportional ( making claim, strengthening claim, adding MMP section to semi-PR article), an obsession of the master (example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4).
  • Observe failed attempt to hi-jack semi-PR article, as previously done by the master (edit, move). Presumably Willowravine was unable to complete the move, as they self-reverted and pasted the master's content over the redirect. Willowravine later renamed the MMP article with no attempt to discuss.
