  • (Comment from uninvolved editor) I've moved the page to Thomasine Hall to remove the parentheses. The article title reads finely without them, and the article itself gives "Thomasine Hall" as one of the subject's names. Feel free to move the page back if this is incorrect.

  • ALT1:... that in 1629 a Virginia court sentenced Thomasine Hall to wear items of both male and female clothing simultaneously?

  • ALT1 is a clearer way of saying the same thing, and thus preferable to the original. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:01, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
