Hi Tyla :) this is an awesome article. I just had a question under her personal life/marriages: do you know when she divorced her first husband, and then remarried? Egrove417 (talk) 18:39, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Also maybe if you can hyperlink the organizations of which she was affiliated with/ a member of :) This is really thorough and captures a lot on her career. Egrove417 (talk) 18:41, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

I like the sections you created to describe Thomas's life. A comment: Usually, historians and biographers refer to people using their first and last names in the beginning of a section, and then throughout a piece, only their last name. Some argue that using their first names can "feminize" a piece and undermine the person's authority. It's up to you, but you should be consistent throughout (look at other examples to see how they do it).

"hearing imparities and cerebral palsied": should it be hearing impairments and cerebral palsy?

This is such a good photograph of Thomas! Is there any way to move the photo up so the reader can see it without having to scroll down the page?

I am wondering what her disability was? And whether she continued to do work in the community after being disabled? Perhaps this could be added to the legacy section (which I really like by the way-- especially the part about her collecting histories of Black community formation in the Northwest-- perhaps you could even add how many she's collected if you know) or the career section
