If you disagree with them please provide your sources.

The Wikipedia page is incomplete, as it does not mention non-addback
delay...


Yes it does! It calls it `Bronstein delay', like the rest of the
world, the USCF included.

... used almost exclusively in U.S. tournaments. (Probably written
by a Euro.)


Regardless of my nationality or that of the author, I see no reason to
credit Bronstein's system to the USCF.


Dave.


Especially because the standard USCF delay is not Bronstein.

It's *equivalent* to Bronstein - but it's not the same thing, at all.
