Merger of Pevear and Volokhonsky pages
I posted this in the Richard Pevear discussion page also. I second the idea, wherever it initially came from, that the Pevear and Volokhonsky pages should be merged. They work together as a team, and the merger would eliminate the redundancy of the two separate pages. DJRafe (talk) 00:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree too. I would say that anytime you are looking for one of them is because of their joint projects. They are great translators and they should certainly have a joint entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.231.35 (talk) 01:16, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Speaking just for myself, I see your point. However, given that all the translations by her and her husband have her family name spelled as Volokhonsky, for the record, this is a moot point.  If she wanted to have people spell her name as "Volokhonskaya", she could have done that at the beginning, with their translation of The Brothers Karamazov.  She evidently did not, so we have what we have.  DJRafe (talk) 02:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, she don't want to have people spell her name in English as "Volokhonskaya" and i don't want to be spelled as "Volokhonskeeee"  (Волохонский), but when speaking in our own language, we do so. Some people changes their family names to more simple - Volokh... --Vladimir Volokhonsky (talk) 20:00, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
