Is it not saying God loves the whole world indiscriminately, rather than “world” meaning elect, while at the same time also saying that this is completely compatible with Calvinism?

Only if you read into the article more than it says, or take it too literally or interpret every term too strictly. I'm sure the author did not intend to communicate more than the need for us Calvinists not to neglect evangelism, nor to practice it in a discriminatory or prejudicial way.

I know that for a time I was guilty of my own form of "selecting the elect" by choosing to share Christ with people I thought "would make good Christians," and neglecting those I would not choose if I were the Father! I was unaware of the arrogance of that kind of "evangelism." The article reminds us that election is God's choice; that He doesn't tell us who they are ahead of time, and that He requires us to share the story of what God has wrought in Christ with everyone, indiscriminately offering Christ to "whosoever will" receive Him.
