Atellan Farce
I've listed this article for peer review because there are some sections specifically such as the lead, stock characters and controversy section that I am wondering if they come across as fluid and easy to read for others. I also am seeking overall opinions and areas for growth as I continue to conduct research on this subject.

 * Lead seems short. The grammar of the first 2 sentences is shaky - signular or plural subject etc.
 * History section very short & seems to contradict lead: "They were originally written in Oscan and imported into Rome in 391 BC." vs "Atellan Farce evidence is scarce, but surviving fragments point to the comedy genre coming about no earlier than 90 BC." If it stays short, merge to lead.
 * Lots of typos in the quotes in refs
 * I think I'd make the whole "connection to similar stock characters in Commedia dell'arte" bit its own section, and move to the bottom. It seems pretty speculative.
 * Hope that helps. Johnbod (talk) 16:01, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
