Talk:Extemporaneous speaking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Someone with more knowledge of recent extempers needs to update the "Recent" section; the current group is haphazardly put together.

The list of recent extempers was not encyclopedic information - ego stroking is not the purpose of wikipedia. It is now gone.

[edit] Widely occurring?

Is this something that occurs widely throughout the whole world? I have lived in New Zealand, Australia and the UK, but have never heard about extemporaneous speaking. Maybe it helps to indicate the geographical distribution of this activity in the article.
