Artist tagging help

I want to create an alias to merge paparins (45) with -> zeroshiki_kouichi (108)

Since the first is an old username for the 2nd.
The first account is now used for R-18 moe style images, as seen in the source changes for images like post #2306064.
The old images were removed from the paparins account but, other links like on otakumode show that it is the same artist, just with a name change.

Since the first artist has 45 images, not 50, a Bulk Update Request was denied. Does this need to be done "manually".
Wikis also need to be adjusted -_-

@keonas
Just click "Skip validations". Then the BUR will be accepted.

Looks like it's already been taken care of by Sacriven. BTW, Saucenao can help you confirm if the artist has pages on other sites. Just search a selection of images and see if an alternate website gets pulled up.

Not sure exactly how to tag this guy since their username is a combination of hirigana and romaji. I just went with "Tacch" since it was the closest approximation I could figure out. Please feel free to change it to something more accurate.

I did. Guess I've taken the wrong images, since some of the posts on Nicoseiga aren't uploaded on Pixiv :<.

Tried out some pictures with SauceNao..everything crashed and couldn't find any post as a result.
And on bcy, I can't find anything, too.

artist #21932. Saw what you meant about the URL's failing for SauceNao. However, whenever a URL fails, I turn to the Firefox version of the SauceNao plugin instead (which is how I found the artist).

Unlike the Chrome version, the Firefox version allows a user to send file data instead of an image URL. Since the image is already cached once the page gets loaded, there's never been an issue with using that.

Quick tip about the Firefox version... using the primary-click (left-click for most users) will select lookup by URL, whereas the alternate-click (right-click for most users) will select lookup by file data.

If you don't have or don't want to use the Firefox version, you can always manually download images and then upload them manually at SauceNao.com.
