Merging

See argument at Talk:Xenops. Either Xenops should go into Woodcreeper, or both should be merged on Dendrocolaptinae, which as of now redirects to Woodcreeper. Dysmorodrepanis 10:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The articles are currently inconsistent and I'm not adequately informed to sort this out. The Ovenbird article refers to this article as covering the subfamily, but the article actually only covers the true woodcreepers, bypassing the Xenops which the family article claims is part of the sub-family.

Something needs to be done, at the very least there needs to be consistency between articles in the family. JohnCastle 20:45, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
