A fact from Thomas(ine) Hall appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 February 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in 1629 a Virginia court sentenced Thomasine Hall to wear items of both male and female clothing simultaneously?
I have reverted to the earlier article name as the title was change by "Epicgenius" with the airy declaration "incorrect use of parentheses". It doesn't matter in the slightest whether this is 'incorrect' in the opinion of someone, any more than that Oprah Winfrey's first name is an incorrect spelling of Orpah. That's how this person is typically referred to in the scholarly literature. The version Thomas(ine) is used in Vaughan's 1978 article "The Sad Case of Thomas(ine) Hall", and is adopted by Kathleen Brown, Kathryn Wichelns, Catherine Clinton, Mary Beth Norton and others who have discussed the case. The variant "Thomas/ine" is used by some writers, but is less common. Paul B (talk) 12:30, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Pronoun Usage
Considering that pronoun-switching is confusing for the article, I decided to use Hall's last name whenever possible; and switch to using the singular "they" when it is not.
