I suggest that this be a place to refer to the joint works of the Opies (my primary consideration being their Rumpelstiltskin hypothesis). Michaelsanders 14:14, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From the content available at the Peter_Opie, Iona_Opie, and Peter_and_Iona_Opie pages, I would also suggest using only one page. The content quantity is small enough that it is a disservice to the user to have to find and read three pages. Mossymosquito 22:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved the page from Peter and Iona Opie to Iona and Peter Opie, as Iona is the major author of their joint works and (given the limited evidence) more notable person. The second form outnumbers the first in a Google search about 45 to 1. Consequently, I have also reordered their names and personal biographies (but I have kept "husband-and-wife", as it is traditional in English). --John Cowan (talk) 15:54, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
