Symphony No. 2 (Dohnányi)

The Symphony No. 2 in E, Op. 40, was completed by Ernő Dohnányi (published under professional name Ernst von Dohnányi) in 1944, at the close of the Second World War. It was revised later in the 1950s. Written with audible roots in the Romantic tradition, the work is largely lyrical, yet maintains a controlled militaristic air inspired by the events surrounding its composition. It references a variety of musical backgrounds, including the work of Brahms, Wagner, Kabalevsky, and Bach. Bach's song Komm, süßer Tod serves as the basis for a significant portion of the finale.

Dohnányi produced the symphony, a hallmark of his compositional maturity, in a time of great turmoil; its composition coincided with the 1944 German occupation of Hungary, during which thousands of Hungarian Jews - a number of Dohnányi's colleagues among them - were relocated to concentration camps. Dohnányi completed the symphony in Austria, where he had, controversially, moved to in November 1944 following the Soviet assault on Hungarian territory. Although these events circulated the symphony's creation, the work itself does not ostensibly depict the turbulent circumstances of the war's final days, but only suggests their presence with an uneasy atmosphere. It is approximately fifty minutes in length, and is the composer's last symphony.

Form
The work is in the traditional four-movement symphony format.

1. Allegro con brio, ma energico e appassionato
The first movement, approximately fourteen minutes, begins with a distinctive main theme that recurs in various manifestations. This theme is developed for about one minute and sets a heavy, uncertain air. After the introductory material concludes, the second, more lyrical theme is presented by violas and expanded by the woodwinds, displaying Dohnányi's talent for rich harmony and engaging orchestration. Although a generally quiet section, it is periodically accented with louder strings; the last accent does not fade and grows in expectation of a passionate high point, but is violently and abruptly interrupted by a burst from the brass and a subsequent use of snares. Immediately after the interruption, the basses interject a muscular passage before snares resume with a similar episode. The music quiets and returns to a lyrical sequence. After several minutes of gradual growth, the movement reaches its climax, a complete recapitulation of the opening theme and its developing material, executed by the brass with a shimmering undercurrent of violins, and punctuated by timpani. After a short respite, Dohnányi makes two more brief reiterations of the introductory theme, and then proceeds to the final bars, a massive ending. After vacillating wildly between tragedy and triumph for the duration of the movement, Dohnányi concludes strongly in the tonic major.

2. Adagio pastorale, molto con sentimento
The second movement differs drastically from the first, bearing little resemblance to the shifting, stifled martial atmosphere of the opening movement. It begins with a pseudo-Romantic theme from the woodwinds, the flutes and oboes playing prominent parts. They are later joined by the strings in a sweeping entrance hinting at the style of Dvořák, which play fluidly into a cheerful, but not light, development. This passage quiets and the main theme is recapitulated with the flutes, after which a solo clarinet scales playfully, with the support of soft strings and horn. This segways into a simple, eerie rhythm set by the harp, playing nine consecutive whole notes with a rich harmony of woodwinds above. After several repetitions of the opening material, the movement climaxes with Romantic intensity, the pulsing strings complemented by confident trumpets and timpani. There is an extended decline, which then merges into the concluding passages. The second movement ends tenderly, with quiet nostalgia. It is around twelve minutes in duration.

3. Scherzo - Burla: Allegro
The scherzo, perhaps the symphony's most modern movement, does not remind the listener of the work's first half. Only five minutes, it is intended to be grotesque and possibly unsettling. It begins turbulently with a rapid, discordant succession of chords, a progression which would constitute the basis of the movement, above a menacing string undertone. Amid this a shrill flute introduces the barely distinguishable second theme of the movement. Afterward the strings commence a momentary moment of fluidity before they are interrupted by a wailing trombone which gives the impression of a Russian circus. A march rhythm accompanies this action, trumpets buzzing almost disconcertedly. The flutes return with the second theme, before the trombones recapitulate the opening material, creating an almost competitive environment in which various sections of the orchestra struggle for supremacy. In a brief return to lyricism, the strings play a shiny passage with some playful woodwinds beneath. Unpredictably this is extinguished by a squawking trill of the brass, immediately refocusing the movement to the rapid material from the introduction, the chords returning as strong accents. After about thirty seconds of assorted events, the distinctive swoon of the trombones heard once before returns with more violent intensity, overshadowing the rest of the instruments, and drives the movement to a humorous and ungraceful conclusion. In a full tutti, the scherzo's end is abrupt, led to with a brief buildup and accomplished with a final, unrelenting chord.

4. Variazione
There is no overarching indication of tempo or mood in this movement, but rather a sequence of changing markings. After a short introduction, the movement presents five consecutive variations of a theme by Bach as the centerpiece of the finale. The variations are followed by a short fugue on the same theme and a concluding coda. The markings are as follows: Introduzione: Andante - Tema: Adagio - Variazione I: Piu mosso (Andante) - Variazione II: Piu mosso, animato, risoluto - Variazione III: Meno mosso (quasi il tempo del tema) - Variazione IV: Piu mosso, tempestuoso (Circa doppio movimento) - Variazione V: Adagio (mezzo movimento) - Fuga: Adagio ma non troppo - Coda: Andante maestoso - Alla marcia. This movement is the symphony's longest, spanning twenty minutes.

The finale is briefly introduced with a sullen, tuba-based opening, which quickly transitions into a vibrant, concerto-style duet violin passage, the first of the five variations. The bulk of the movement consists of the remaining four, executed by a combination of solo and orchestral work, and spread over a variety of musical forays. These passages, although highly diverse in their style and orchestration, all derive their core material from the primary choral melody of Bach's song Komm, süßer Tod. Although Bach scored the song's main theme for solo voice, Dohnányi did not include a choral setting of the work, and maintains a purely instrumental interpretation. After the fifth variation, Dohnányi proceeds with a six-minute fugue based on the same material; the fugue leads the movement to its climax, building from gentle strings and steadily involving more of the orchestra. In the midst of the climax Bach's melody is united with the symphony's opening theme, presented by the trumpets and supported by the trombones, horns and tuba. This new energy drives the movement to the coda, which closes the symphony. Unlike the unsure victory of the first movement, the finale has no reservations about triumph and presents a robust march to conclude the piece, a definitive E major finish.

Instrumentation
The score commands the following orchestra:

 * Woodwinds:
 * Piccolo
 * 3 Flutes
 * 2 Oboes
 * English horn
 * 2 Clarinets in B♭
 * Bass clarinet
 * 3 Bassoons
 * Contrabassoon

 * Brass:
 * 8 Horns
 * 4 Trumpets
 * 3 Trombones
 * Tuba

 * Percussion:
 * Timpani
 * Bass Drum
 * Cymbals
 * Snare Drum

 * 4 Double basses
 * 2 Harps

Influence
Throughout this work, Dohnányi retains the Romantic sentiment manifested in the work of Brahms, who had championed Dohnányi when the latter was an aspiring composer at the end of the 19th century. Dohnányi's orchestration holds numerous similarities to that of Brahms; in particular, the use of woodwinds in the Second Symphony takes influence from Brahms' work in the same area. The presence of Wagner is also notable, e.g. Dohnányi's use of brass in the opening and concluding movements, hinting at Parsifal and other of Wagner's later work.

Nevertheless, the composer's style does not hide the contemporary traditions of modernism. Although he breaks from the experimental efforts of Bartók, Dohnányi keeps to his Hungarian origins, with traces of Hungarian folk music present within the lines of the symphony. In addition to the German influence, there are also subtle ties to the work of Russian composers. The softer second movement as well as sardonic third movement hold traces of Soviet music, possibly referencing thematic material of Kabalevsky. Amid these influences, Dohnányi creates a distinct musical idiom that characterizes most of his mature compositions.

In the 1950s, while the composer was serving his tenure as composer-in-residence at Florida State University, Dohnányi decided to revise the Second Symphony in a period of intense creativity at the end of his life. Although Dohnányi made significant alterations to the work, it pointedly retains its Romantic character. Throughout the entirety of his adult career, Dohnányi remained musically conservative, and even in his final years did not seek to foray into tonal and stylistic novelties. It is the revised version which is most often played in concert halls today.

Recordings
Although the symphony has been performed many times under numerous conductors, recordings of it have been scarce. By far the most well-known recording (and until 2010 the only commercially released one), completed 21–22 September 1995, is done by the BBC Philharmonic, conducted by Matthias Bamert and produced by Ralph Couzens. Released by Chandos Records, this also happens to be the symphony's premiere recording. Its information is as follows:

 * 1996: Matthias Bamert (with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra), recorded 1995, released 1996 on Dohnányi: Symphony No. 2, Symphonic Minutes (Chandos Records Ltd.) as "Dohnányi: Symphony No. 2" (49:49).

A second recording, performed by the American Symphony Orchestra under Leon Botstein, was completed in 2010:

 * 2010: Leon Botstein (with the American Symphony Orchestra), recorded 2010, released 2010 on Dohnányi: Symphony No. 2 in E Major, Op. 40 (Live Recording) as "Dohnányi: Symphony No. 2" (53:58).

It is notable that on the BBC recording, the segmented finale is presented as nine consecutive tracks (t. 9–17), with an individual track representing each significant change in Dohnányi's markings. In Botstein's recording, the fourth movement and all of its components are listed under one longer track. In both concert and recording performance, it is to the conductor's discretion as to how to organize the listings in the final movement.

A third recording was undertaken by the Florida State University's University Symphony Orchestra conducted by Alexander Jiménez in the spring of 2013 on Naxos Records; it was released in June 2014.

International goals

 * Scores and results list Romania's goal tally first, score column indicates score after each Petru goal.

Style of play
Dr. Constantin Rădulescu described Emil Petru as:"Raised at "U", one of the biggest players of Cluj and the country. He played in the junior, youth and senior national teams in numerous matches. Tall with a princely outfit, head held high, peripheral view (for which the coaches of the little ones strive enormously) which he had natively, exceptional technique, as well as the tactical timing of the execution. Relentless right-footed kicks (he scored goals from long distances 25-30 meters), excellent header by lobbing the ball from a diving jump, with perfect mental and moral balance (he played against Real Madrid as well as against Sticla Turda). He had a tendency to gain weight which is why he had a short career."

Marius Bretan said about him:"Attacking midfielder similar to Dobrin, complete, with extraordinary qualities."

Personal life
Emil Petru was a graduate of the Faculty of Law from Cluj. After retiring from his playing career, he worked as a coach, eventually becoming the coordinator of the Universitatea Cluj's Children and Junior Center. Petru died on 1 March 1995 at age 55.

Article Evaluation:

Overall, all the information on the article was very relevant, but I thought the character list should have listed just the principal characters. I felt distracted by the overwhelming number of characters and descriptions when only a group of them were principal in the story. However, I thought more detail on the plot summary and Morison's background could have been included because both sections felt very short.

The article is very neutral, I did not perceive any bias or opinion on the book or its message. I think the viewpoints are accurately represented as well.

After checking a variety of citations, all the links worked and the sources were reliable, credible, and supported the claims in the article. The sources refrained from bias and were very legitimate. There was an issue with not a sufficient number of "inline citations" as seen in the talk page, but I didn't identify this issue when looking at the article.

The most recent information, particularly on the censorship section, comes from 2016, thus it is very up to date. The only thing would be adding in any information on censorship accounts or any significant acclaim or criticism of the book in the past year.

There aren't many conversations, but the main one focuses on the censorship portion of the article and making sure the examples are accounted for. Also, there was an issue with the image of the title of the book being utilized.

Wikipedia discusses the topic from a much more objective and factual standpoint. In class, we discussed the article with a critical eye and brought in our own opinions, whereas the article only emphasizes all the facts about the book.

Toni Morrison has been one of the most important African American novelists of the 20th century.[5] While Morrison's work has been deemed controversial, it has received a variety of prestigious awards, including the Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize.[6] What makes Morrison's writing "authentic" is that it draws upon her experience growing up in a black, working class family that upheld a strong appreciation for black culture in the Midwest during the 1930s.[5] The Continuum Encyclopedia of American Literature points to the fact that Morrison's work "blends the realistic detail of black families and neighborhoods in an Ohio town that resembles her birthplace" as a way to convey her encounters with racism, white oppression, "violence within the black community" and "exploitation of blacks by other blacks".[7]

Alice Perry

Alice Jacqueline Perry (24 October 1885 – 21 April 1969) was one of the first women in Europe to graduate with a degree in engineering.

Early life and education
Born in Wellpark, Galway in 1885, Alice was one of five daughters and a son of Martha Park and James Perry. Her father was the county surveyor in Galway West and co-founded the Galway Electric Light Company. Her uncle, John Perry, was a Fellow of the Royal Society and invented the navigational gyroscope.

After graduating from the High School in Galway, she won a scholarship to study at Queen's College Galway in 1902. Having excelled in mathematics, she changed from studying for a degree in arts to an engineering degree. She graduated with first class honours in civil engineering in 1906. Alice was one of the first women in Europe to graduate with a degree in engineering - following Rita de Morais Sarmento (Civil Engineering and Public Works from the Academia Politécnica de Oporto (the Polytechnic Academy in Porto) in 1894) and Agnes Klingberg, Betzy Meyer, and Julie Arenholt, who graduated from 1897 to 1901, at the Polyteknisk Læreanstalt, today known as the Danmarks Tekniske Universitet.

The Perry family was academically gifted. Her sister Nettie studied modern languages and went on to become a lecturer in Spanish at London University. Sister Agnes Mary (known as Molly) earned BA (1903) and MA (1905) in mathematics from Queen's College Galway (later UCG then NUIG), taught there in 1903–1904, was a Royal University of Ireland examiner in mathematics in 1906, and later became assistant headmistress at a secondary school in London. She was described as "the most distinguished mathematician of her time in the college". Her sister Martha married the map scholar, Edward William O'Flaherty Lynam, and their son Joss Lynam also became an engineer. All of the Perry sisters were involved in the suffrage campaign in Galway.

Career
Following her 1906 graduation Alice was offered a senior postgraduate scholarship but owing to her father's death the following month, she did not take up this position. In December 1906 she succeeded her father temporarily as county surveyor for Galway County Council. She remained in this position for five or six months until a permanent appointment was made. She was an unsuccessful candidate for the permanent position and for a similar opportunity to be a surveyor in Galway East. She remains the only woman to have been a county surveyor (county engineer) in Ireland.

In 1908 she moved to London with her sisters, where she worked as a factory inspector for the Home Office. From there she moved to Glasgow, at which point she converted from Presbyterianism to Christian Science in 1915. She met and married John (Bob) Shaw on 30 September 1916. Shaw was a soldier who died in 1917 on the Western Front.

Later life and death
Perry retired from her inspector's position in 1921 and became interested in poetry, first publishing in 1922. In 1923 she moved to Boston, the headquarters of Christian Science. Until her death in 1969, Perry worked within the Christian Science movement as a poetry editor and practitioner, publishing seven books of poetry.

Legacy

Her nephew, Joss Lynam, donated a collection of her poetry to NUI Galway in 1996. An All-Ireland medal has been named in her honour, The Alice Perry Medal, with the first prizes awarded in 2014.

On Monday 6 March 2017, NUI Galway held an official ceremony to mark the naming of the Alice Perry Engineering Building.

General Chemistry/Introduction

Chemistry is Everywhere

The modern human experience places a large emphasis upon the material world. From the day of our birth to the day we die, we are frequently preoccupied with the world around us. Whether struggling to feed ourselves, occupying ourselves with modern inventions, interacting with other people or animals, or simply meditating on the air we breathe, our attention is focused on different aspects of the material world. In fact only a handful of disciplines—certain subsets of religion, philosophy, and abstract math—can be considered completely unrelated to the material world. Everything else is somehow related to chemistry, the scientific discipline which studies the properties, composition, and transformation of matter.

Branches of Chemistry
Chemistry itself has a number of branches:

 * Analytical chemistry seeks to determine the composition of substances.
 * Biochemistry is the study of chemicals found in living things (such as DNA and proteins).
 * Inorganic Chemistry studies substances that do not contain carbon.
 * Organic chemistry studies carbon-based substances. Carbon, as described in more detail in this book, has unique properties that allow it to make complex chemicals, including those of living organisms. An entire field of chemistry is devoted to substances with this element.
 * Physical chemistry is the study of the physical properties of chemicals, which are characteristics that can be measured without changing the composition of the substance.

Chemistry as a discipline is based on a number of other fields. Because it is a measurement-based science, math plays an important role in its study and usage. A proficiency in high-school level algebra should be all that is needed in this text, and can be obtained from a number of sources. Chemistry itself is determined by the rules and principles of physics. Basic principles from physics may be introduced in this text when necessary.

Why Study Chemistry?
There are many reasons to study chemistry. It is one pillar of the natural sciences necessary for detailed studies in the physical sciences or engineering. The principles of biology and psychology are rooted in the biochemistry of the animal world, in ways that are only now beginning to be understood. Modern medicine is firmly rooted in the chemical nature of the human body. Even students without long-term aspirations in science find beauty in the infinite possibilities that originate from the small set of rules found in chemistry.

Chemistry has the power to explain everything in this world, from the ordinary to the bizarre. Why does iron rust? What makes propane such an efficient, clean burning fuel? How can soot and diamond be so different in appearance, yet so similar chemically? Chemistry has the answer to these questions, and so many more. Understanding chemistry is the key to understanding the world as we know it.

This Book: General Chemistry
An introduction to the chemical world is set forth in this text. The units of study are organized as follows.

 * 1) Properties of Matter: An explanation of the most fundamental concept in chemistry: matter.
 * 2) Atomic Structure: While technically in the domain of physics, atoms determine the behavior of matter, making them a necessary starting point for any discussion of chemistry.
 * 3) Compounds and Bonding: Chemical bonding is introduced, which explains how less than one hundred naturally-occurring elements can combine to form all the different compounds that fill our world.
 * 4) Chemical Reactions: Things get interesting once chemical reactions start making and breaking bonds.
 * 5) Aqueous Solutions: Substances dissolved in water have special properties.  This is when acids and bases are introduced.
 * 6) Phases of Matter: A detailed look at the organization of substances, with particular focus on gases.
 * 7) Chemical Equilibria: Chemical reactions don't go on forever.  Equilibrium is the balance that reactions seek to achieve.
 * 8) Chemical Kinetics: Kinetics explain why it takes years for an iron nail to rust, but only a split second for a hydrogen-filled hot air balloon to explode.
 * 9) Thermodynamics: Two things decide which reactions can occur and which reactions cannot: heat and chaos.  Or enthalpy and entropy, as they are called in thermodynamics
 * 10) Chemistries of Various Elements:  An exploration of the elements that make up all substance.  Includes an introduction to nuclear chemistry and carbon, the essence of organic chemistry.

Talk:2020 United States Postal Service crisis

Maybe change the emphasis ?
Hello, User:SnappingTurtle, and thanks for starting this article. I have also been thinking about an article about all this postal service stuff, but I was thinking of a broader focus, primarily about voting by mail and the Administration's attempts to prevent it, with the delays being just a part of it. Do you think that approach has possibilities? I have quite a bit of information already in other articles that I could bring in here to expand and make the points very strongly. -- MelanieN (talk) 18:50, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * P.S. I was thinking about a title along the lines of Mail balloting in the 2020 presidential election. That's kind of clunky, we could probably come up with something better. -- MelanieN (talk) 18:51, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I'd thought about that, too. I think, though, that this issue is the right focus for an article. The mail-in voting controversy encompasses other issues besides the delays. For example, the screwup in Virginia with absentee applications having the wrong return address has nothing to do with mail delays. There's obviously a lot of overlap between the two issues, but they're not quite the same. There's currently a section of a page devoted to the the current controversy: Postal voting in the United States. I think that section should be expanded to its own article. SnappingTurtle (talk) 19:17, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Interesting, I hadn't seen that article. I'll take a look at it. I have been adding stuff to United States Postal Service, and 2020 United States presidential election, and Donald Trump. And Louis DeJoy to some extend. Meanwhile I have added some delay-related stuff here, partly from those other articles. -- MelanieN (talk) 19:53, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree with on this issue; it's broader than the (current) scope of this article and with how things are shaping up, more political than circumstantial. At this point, it falls squarely in the category of being a Trump administration controversy.  D ÅRTH B ØTTØ ( T • C ) 20:55, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

There's a lot of overlap with other issues, but this issue is its own thing. It's not just about mail in votes, It's not just about Trump. I did categorize it as a Trump controversy. SnappingTurtle (talk) 22:27, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

I think that's beyond the scope of this article. The Political issues section is already the longest and offers a pretty thorough explanation of Trump's involvement and the potential consequences. Fullmetal2887 (discuss me) 23:30, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Good move
The new title - "Postal Service crisis" - is much better. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:40, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree - this is far more encompassing. I'm excited to see how this page develops and expands.  D ÅRTH B ØTTØ ( T • C ) 00:06, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

How many sorting machines removed
The cited source only assets that 19 machines have definitely been removed. I've heard various estimates for how many have actually been removed but no firm numbers. SnappingTurtle (talk) 01:02, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * CNN said 671 machines were slated to be taken out. The PO claim they are just being moved around, but I have seen allegations from postal workers that they were actually being dismantled and thrown in the trash. I will see if I can find that source. -- MelanieN (talk) 01:25, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Snopes article
The Snopes article on this topic is a treasure trove of information. Some of its points...

 * DeJoy did own stock in USPS competitors. It's unclear if he still does.
 * The delays are really happening.
 * The delays are happening because of structural changes DeJoy has ordered, but not necessarily all of the delays are DeJoy's faults.
 * Snopes says that it is unproven that DeJoy intended to cause delays.

In another article, Snopes confirms that mailboxes are being removed. However, it calls into question if that is anything new. The process of removing mailboxes has been going on for years. Whether or not they've been accelerating or targeted for political reasons is unclear, but there isn't any direct evidence of it.

I didn't find anything in Snopes about the removal of mail sorting machines.

Trump's stated intent
Shouldn't this article include content from Trump's Fox interview, in which he stated that his intention with defunding the USPS has been to prevent mail-in voting? That may be the crux of the issue.  D ÅRTH B ØTTØ ( T • C ) 06:28, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It does include one sentence "On August 13, 2020, in an interview with Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo, Trump said he was blocking emergency funding for the USPS because of his opposition to mail-in voting." but feel free to add more, both from that interview and his comments beforehand disparaging vote by mail and the USPS generally. (The latter is lacking, especially his frequent demand to raise postal rates on Amazon due to his grievances with Jeff Bezos.) Fullmetal2887 (discuss me) 22:15, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Let's be careful with this issue. Not everyone is convinced that his statement was clear that he wanted to withhold funds because he objects to mail in voting. Many people (including me) feel that he was using the funds as a political bargaining chip. Also, if the page states that he is withholdings funds then it should be clear about where those funds come from, because the president doesn't have the power of the purse. SnappingTurtle (talk) 02:10, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Regardless, we can say that he stated this to be his intention. Whether he meant it or not is up in the air, but we can report what he said. He stated his intentions to be limiting voting by mail. Lets write THAT Dorkmax (talk) 01:31, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Capitalization of job titles
Phrases such as "Postmaster General Louis DeJoy" should be capitalized in accordance with MOS:JOBTITLES, because they precede the name. "postmaster general" would be lowercase in the sentence "Louis DeJoy was postmaster general", but when his title is used preceding his name, it should be capitalized, as in "President Nixon". Fullmetal2887 (discuss me) 16:18, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Not entirely correct... if the phrase is unmodified, it denotes a title, and if it is modified or reworded, it denotes an office. — Eyer (If you reply, add   to your message to let me know.) 16:42, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Hard to find
Could this article be made easier to locate? Searched USPS, then Trump USPS, then Louis DeJoy before digging through its subsection on Postmaster General and finding the link. Not knowledgeable enough yet to make specific suggestions on resolving the discussion's issue. (Also, this article doesn't seem to be classified as a BLP, or am I wrong?) Pasdecomplot (talk) 20:38, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * This is not a BLP. I will create some redirects to make it easier to find. -- MelanieN (talk) 22:06, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

NPOV
Thanks User:SnappingTurtle for starting this article, it is one that is important to get right! Sadly as it stands the article has major WP:NPOV issues. Particularly the Donald Trump's involvement section where and mentions of "stealing the election" does not seem like an encyclopedic entry. The Economic issues section has vague and unsourced claims. In addition I think there should be a Reactions section to more concisely surmise comments of the VA, Speaker, protesters and so on.Mkwia (talk) 23:52, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Speaking for myself, I tried very hard to avoid WP:NPOV issues when editing this article, and removed several unsourced or non-NPOV sentences written by other editors when I encountered them. As I see it, the Donald Trump's involvement section does not currently contain any such content (the "steal the election" remark is commentary from elections experts, and described as such, not as ground truth). It does not postulate any theories or draw any conclusions with regard to Trump's intent, but rather factually chronicles his actions and statements, and offers reliable citations for each one. It also includes reaction from White House spokesman Judd Deere and the denial from Trump himself that he would order DeJoy to slow the mail. If you disagree with a particular sentence in that section, please feel free to call it out here on the talk page, or Be Bold and remove it. I do, however, agree that the Economic issues section could be made a bit less vague and add better sourcing. Fullmetal2887 (discuss me) 06:17, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I looked for some material to counter the "steal the election" comment, specifically an on-the-record denial from the White House or Republican leaders that Trump intended to interfere with the election, and couldn't find any. I'll keep looking, but if you can find some, please add it. Fullmetal2887 (discuss me) 06:37, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I found a Politico article and added the sentence "DeJoy has denied accusations that the delivery delays were designed to sabotage election mail on Trump's behalf." Fullmetal2887 (discuss me) 06:45, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Get rid of the (X-State) detail in front of US Congressmen/women
This is an unnecessary americanism which non-US users may be confused by, it's better to use the standard of just mentioning the Party, political office rank and then the name of the person, like so.

Adding to Congressional response section
Hello! I'm a USPS employee looking to improve to this article. I'm aware that my COI bars me from editing directly, and that I should make suggestions using the edit request system. You can see my COI disclosure at the top of the page. If you'd like to read through my full disclosure and/or edit history, please navigate over to my user page. To open, I wanted to propose two new sentences to the Congressional response section. I'll put the existing copy below and highlight my suggested copy in yellow:
 * On August 22, 2020, the House passed a bill approving $25 billion in emergency funding for the USPS that would reverse DeJoy's changes and ban mail delays before the election. The vote was 257-150 as Democrats approved it unanimously and 26 Republicans joined them. The White House threatened a veto. The bill was introduced in the Senate by Susan Collins, but never reached the floor for a vote.

 * Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, was denied access to two post offices in Florida when she tried to conduct an inspection on September 3. The United States Postal Service cited possible Hatch Act violations and internal ethics guidelines that stipulate any candidate for political office cannot tour a post office within 45 days of an election as its reasons for turning Wasserman Schultz away.

My goal here is add fresh information that provides necessary context. For instance, I saw that "needs update" tag on the end of the "White House threatened a veto" sentence and figured it would be a good idea to mention that the WH didn't have to deliver on that threat, because the bill was never voted on in the Senate. If anything I've proposed above can be improved upon, please let me know. I'm open to feedback. I'll now step aside and let independent editors do their thing. Thanks! Jonathan with U.S. Postal Service (talk) 00:24, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ Requests seem reasonable and referencing checks out. Best,  Spencer T• C 22:05, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reviewing and adding, User:Spencer! Jonathan with U.S. Postal Service (talk) 16:30, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Updating Political issues section
Hey again! Thanks again to User:Spencer for their help reviewing my proposed changes to the Congressional response section. I'm now going to suggest two updates for content under the Political issues heading. The first is adjusting the following sentence from this:
 * Because of the operational changes causing delays in mail delivery, the Postal Service sent a letter to 46 U.S. states in July 2020, warning each state that the service might not be able to meet that state's deadlines for requesting and casting absentee ballots.

To this:
 * In July 2020 the Postal Service sent a letter to 46 U.S. states, warning each state that in anticipation of a sizable increase in postal voting caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the service might not be able to meet that state's deadlines for requesting and casting absentee ballots.

If you read that second source, the Washington Post article, you'll see that the letter wasn't sent because of delivery slowdowns related to operational changes. Rather, the Postal Service was concerned about a big increase in mail-in voting, as many people who wouldn't normally vote by mail were planning to do so due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The second change I wanted to make was adding two sentences about the Postal Service's delivery of election materials to the end of the section, below the line about how many people voted by mail. Here's my suggested language:
 * A March 2021 report from the Postal Service's inspector general found that the vast majority of mail-in ballots and registration materials in the 2020 election were delivered to the relevant authorities on time. The Postal Service handled approximately 135 million pieces of election-related mail between September 1st and November 3rd, delivering 97.9% of ballots from voters to election officials within three days, and 99.89% of ballots within seven days.

To be totally transparent: I'm taking that language, which I wrote, from the Postal voting in the 2020 United States elections article. Before I came to the USPS Crisis Talk page, I did some work updating the Postal voting in 2020 article, following the same COI editor procedures I am here. (See the Postal Voting in 2020 Talk page for details on how that went.) I think it makes sense to include some information in this section about how the Postal Service ultimately performed, in terms of delivering election-related mail. It brings the section all the way up to date. But obviously I need to let independent editors make the final determination on everything I'm suggesting, so thanks in advance to anyone who reviews this request. I'm around to answer questions and offer clarification, should editors need me. Cheers! Jonathan with U.S. Postal Service (talk) 19:50, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, the WP article spends most of this time contextualizing the letter amid the operational changes, and I think that removing that piece entirely would mischaracterize the reference. In the article, I see the following quotes:

 * The Postal Service’s warnings of potential disenfranchisement came as the agency undergoes a sweeping organizational and policy overhaul amid dire financial conditions. Cost-cutting moves have already delayed mail delivery by as much as a week in some places, and a new decision to decommission 10 percent of the Postal Service’s sorting machines sparked widespread concern the slowdowns will only worsen.
 * DeJoy, in service changes last month, has drastically reduced overtime and banned extra trips to ensure on-time mail delivery. His wholesale reorganizations ousted several agency veterans in key operational roles. And the USPS is currently decommissioning 10 percent of its costly and bulky mail-sorting machines, which workers say could hinder processing of election mail, according to a grievance filed by the American Postal Workers Union
 * DeJoy wrote in a letter to USPS workers Thursday that temporary delivery slowdowns were “unintended consequences” of his efficiency moves
 * That said, the article does also mention the influx of pandemic related mail-in ballots, which I agree would be a fair addition. (The ballot warnings ... were planned before the appointment of Louis DeJoy, a former logistics executive and ally of President Trump, as postmaster general in early summer. They go beyond the traditional coordination between the Postal Service and election officials, drafted as fears surrounding the coronavirus pandemic triggered an unprecedented and sudden shift to mail-in voting.). Perhaps the article could mention that the letters were drafted before such operational changes (these are mentioned previously in the Wikipedia article) and were due to concerns about increased voting.
 * As for the second proposed change, this seems reasonable and has been added. I am marking this as answered, but please reopen the request if you have a new proposal for the first part of your suggested change. Best,  Spencer T• C 05:31, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey, User:Spencer! Thanks for giving my suggestion a thorough review. I really appreciate the detailed feedback. I've reopened the request above because I want to suggest some revised language, based on what you said:
 * In July 2020 the Postal Service sent letters to 46 U.S. states, warning each state that in anticipation of a sizable increase in postal voting caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the service might not be able to meet that state's deadlines for requesting and casting absentee ballots. In the majority of the letters, the Postal Service encouraged voters to mail their ballots no later than seven days before the general election. These letters were drafted before the implementation of operational changes that caused delays in mail delivery.
 * I think that gives a fuller picture of what was going on in July 2020. Basically, the letters weren't sent because of the delivery slowdown, as they were drafted beforehand, but the delivery slowdown was a relevant event unfolding in parallel. Let me know what you think! Jonathan with U.S. Postal Service (talk) 20:26, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ The revised changes seem appropriate, and have been implemented.  Spencer T• C 19:13, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Bonchurch Manor

Bonchurch Manor is a manor house on the Isle of Wight, situated in Bonchurch.

History
Bonchurch was held before the Conquest as an alod by Estan of Earl Godwin. In 1086 it belonged to William son of Azor, and was of considerable worth, doubtless owing to the grazing value of its chalk downs. Sir John Oglander gives the following fanciful account of its early history: 'The church was erected in the reign of William the Conqueror by John de Argenton, a Frenchman, to whom William Fitz Osbern gave Bonchurch. Argenton "got it to be made a parish by means of his brother's son Walkelin, then Bishop of Winton." ' The Argenteins, however, do not seem to have held any land in the Isle of Wight until the end of the 12th century. It was one of the manors held by John de Lisle at the end of the 13th century of the honour of Carisbrooke Castle, and it followed the same descent as West Court in Shorwell (q.v.) to the Popham and Hill families. The part held by the Hills passed to Rosa daughter of Lieut.-Col. Charles Fitz Maurice Hill, who married the Rev. James White. The Bonchurch estate, belonging to Mrs. Rosa White, was put up for sale in 1836 and passed to different owners. In 1863 the manorial rights were purchased by Dr. Leeson, but none are now exercised. Bonchurch Manor is currently owned by Christopher Rose, an attorney, and his wife Khadine.
