rename poccora -> pokkore

Artist's initial twitter handle was @poccora, but that account was banned, and the display name for this twitter account did not use that name
https://web.archive.org/web/20220128103731/https://twitter.com/poccora/status/1487010668666662915
https://web.archive.org/web/20220725063941/https://twitter.com/poccora/status/1551061746965966849

Every handle used by this artist afterwards has used 'pokkore', such as https://pokkore.fanbox.cc/

Using rename instead of alias as another artist 'pokkora' uses twitter handle @poccora_ and has assumed full ownership of this spelling of the handle. 'pokkora' should be aliased to 'poccora' after this rename is completed.

I do not know if including both rename A->B and alias C->A in a single BUR will work correctly, so I have not included the latter alias here.

It should still be an alias because the other artist tag is pokkora. As for the archive links, I don't know what they are trying to show me besides the content on the account. I can accept it on the basis that it should be what the tag name is (poccora seems to have only been a Twitter handle but older links are showing pokkore) if it's an alias instead.

create alias doi_doro_suke -> toi_deisuke

Artist name reading was incorrect. Correct name reading (in romaji) was present on Pixiv header image in 2023.

I don't know what the Pixiv header image was in 2023, so I need a source and confirmation that it's the romanisation they actually prefer.

create alias foznya -> ramuawa

Same artist.
foznya's Twitter account is listed in ramuawa's Twitter and bsky.app bios.
And they posted the same image.

create alias nameko_hachikou -> hachikou_nameko

Same artist. If the name just being switched doesn't give it away, the skeb account links to this artist's current Twitter account and his pixiv, but on that pixiv account, it leads to his former Twitter account, which is linked to the original artist tag.

I am saying that the artist `pokkora` has moved to `poccora`, but I am not aware of whether older or newer name is preferred.
In the case of `pokkore`, given the clash with `pokkora`'s new name, I do not know if alias is the correct solution vs moving the tags or renaming the tag, given that uploads may mistake the 2 artists if the tags are not disambiguated properly.

The archive links are to show that this was the account on the basis of which the initial `poccora` tag was made, and that that is outdated and should no longer be used, in favor of `pokkore`.

It's possible that the final result should be `pokkore` and `pokkora` tags where `poccora` could refer to either, I do not know if that is correct for the site conventions.

I will attempt to find this information, unfortunately Wayback/other archive sites no longer have that image available. I will also attempt to send a message to that artist to see if they have a preferred romanisation, please leave the BUR in pending state until then if possible, thank you.

edit- i have found that "COMIC LO 2025年10月号" lists the artist names in romaji at the end alongside japanese, page 482. I do not know if it is appropriate to link the image URL from a site that has scraped and uploaded this magazine, but I will do so if needed.

rename tadahiro -> shiogochi

Tag does not appear to refer to an artist but instead a 'ship'. The URLs and associated names on that artist are instead meant for artist #81053 (based on information on https://web.archive.org/web/20211111160912/https://twitter.com/1654R18/status/1458829144649715721 linking to the other names/Pawoo) and that artist does not have any associated name 'tadahiro' (the archive twitter description mentions 'tadahiro', and appears to be referencing their preference for the 'ship' as that is the content they draw, and does not use it as their name); since this artist was never 'tadahiro', rename is more appropriate than alias.

create alias akimoto_akio -> tachikawa

From @ZerotoInfinity:

This artist has the some of the same illustrations from that Pixiv account. One of those illustrations is a Fushigiboshi No Futago Hime drawing. One that they said is actually one of their oldest drawings, from their old (inactive) blog.

For example:
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/8204472
This drawing right here, is the same drawing as this one. Yes, really.
post #134333

I can't really find any confirmation that it is the same person, 'cause that site's kinda dead for a long, long time. But I was almost so sure they were the same artist. It may sound like a cruddy excuse that I could come up with, but I kid you not.
