Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

 * There are slight debates on the description of Il Dottore, and whether he is actually "...an elderly man who only knows nonsense. He makes many cruel jokes about the opposite sex."
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * Start- class; it is part of WikiProject Theatre
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
 * The Wikipedia article is pretty similar to how we discussed it in class. It has accurate descriptions of the character and mask. The only differences are that we went fuller into detail and debate on the character, and examined him more from a lense of trying to embody him, and less of a separated lense trying to just study him.
