Hello! Just joined up today, or rejoined, I think I was here 
awhile back but forget exactly. But anyway, started teaching myself 
Japanese a bit again recently and learning some of the basic 
questions like doko, dare, ikutsu, etc. though ran into something 
that confused me with the 'wa' particle. One of the instructional 
books I found had this as an example:

Doa doko desu ka. (Door where is it?) 

When I thought it would be:

Doa wa doko desu ka. 

     So if the subject is inferred you don't need the 'wa'? And does 
written Japanes use question marks or do questions in romanji 
(romanjii?) still just end with a period? Thanks!
