Should I unite the two threads which comprise the guide, or retain the split as is currently the case?
I'd say combine them considering this thread is only 6 pages.

I agree, some posts may end up being split when new photos get added, but I don't think that should make too big a difference.
My main reservation about joining the two threads is that the current titles of each thread make it clear what is depicted within, whereas the joint thread would have to omit these (as the maximum title length won't permit the addition of the words "Old World Flycatchers and Chats" to this thread, nor "Thrushes, Starlings and Allies" to the other thread) and stick to merely "The Zoochat Photographic Guide To The Muscicapoidea".
Thoughts?
It will still be clear what is depicted within, just not specifically

Only if people already knew what the Muscicapoidea comprised![]()
I'd imagine most interested parties are subscribed to the threads already.
You wouldn't really need Chats in the title."The ZooChat Photographic Guide to OW Flycatchers, Chats, Starlings, Thrushes, and Allies"
Judging by ZTL it's been around for at least two years but is not signposted anywhere, so I imagine it's either offshow, no longer present or unsigned. You're basically our best bet for finding out one way or another![]()
