Bio

I have the following university degrees: (1) B.Comm., Sprott School of Business, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada; (2) M.A. in Public Administration, School of Public Policy & Administration, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canda; (3) L.LB., Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada; (4) M.A. in Religion, Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and Graduate School, Liberty University, Lynchberg, Virginia; and (5) Ph.D. in Theology, Trinity Theological Seminary, Newburgh, Indiana.

I have taught labour relations at the Sprott School of Business and the School of Public Policy & Administration, both at Carleton University. I have also taught public law in the graduate program at the School of Public Policy & Administration. In also taught for the Bar Admission Course of the Law Society of Upper Canada.

I have practised law in Ontario, Canada from 1986. My practice was concentrated on business law, labour law, technology law and trademarks.

I have been a professional actor and director. I co-founded the Canadian Improv Games (CIG), which consists of training in improvisation and improvisational competitions for high school students. It is used in hundreds of high schools across Canada and is produced in association with Canada's National Arts Centre. It began in 1976. It also operates summer camps and produces festivals for alumni under the banner "Next Act Festival". Well over 100,000 students have participated in CIG curriculum. Personally, I studied improvisational theatre under David Shepherd, the co-founder of America's first modern improvisational theater company, the Compass Players (the immediate precursor of The Second City).

Your edits at Improvisational theatre

Greetings! Based on the information you posted above, please review the guideline on editing with a conflict of interest. In particular, please ensure there is a consensus on the talk page before adding sections about organizations with which you are affiliated. If such additions are controversial then you should let someone else do them. I have removed the paragraph you added at Improvisational theatre, as it is unreferenced and appears to breach the COI guideline. If you feel it should be added, then please seek a consensus on the talk page for its addition first. Thank you! VQuakr (talk) 01:16, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Providing sources for information that is common knowledge to an expert can be a challenge for experts that are new to Wikipedia. The paragraph I removed contained links to the Canadian Improv Games and performing arts web pages of two schools. These are not particularly strong sources; what we would want here is a secondary source that discusses the use of improvisation in the classroom. Statements like Improvisation is practiced in the classroom more than all of it's other uses combined need to be sourced. As an expert in the field you have a lot to bring to the project and that is wonderful, but it does not give you any special ownership over any article. Please also review the section of policy on recruiting others to skirt around your COI as you alluded to on my talk page, as doing so would miss the point. If you want to discuss improvement to this article in particular, it may be best to continue the discussion at the article talk page as it will have better visibility to interested editors there.

Lastly and as a minor side note, your most recent revert on the article replaced a spelling error in the lead; please review individual edits by other editors rather than blanking them en masse. Thanks! VQuakr (talk) 01:49, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
