(It's probably better to split the old Emberizidae than to just remove the New World sparrows and rename the old Emberizidae Old World buntings, since that would leave over 100 unidentified sparrow observations in North America labeled as Old World buntings, and shift the community ID on any observation from before the family split with 1 initial ID of Emberizidae and 2 subsequent IDs of, say, Song Sparrow from Song Sparrow to Passeriformes)

@loarie @kueda there isn't any way to atlas families, is there? (I don't see "create an atlas" as an option in the curation drop-down menu for anything above species.)
Emberizidae sensu stricto and Passerellidae are allopatric (Emberizidae in Africa and Eurasia [and introduced to NZ] and Passerellidae in the Americas, apart from rare vagrants in either direction), so being able to automatically assign IDs in North and South America to Passerellidae and IDs in Africa, Eurasia, and NZ to Emberizidae would prevent the over 100 observations with a community ID of Emberizidae sensu lato (and probably hundreds or even thousands of active identifications of that taxon on other observations) from just switching to Passeriformes.
