artist:cassettepony -> artist:cassettepunk, who is DNP so the few images tagged cassettepony should be addressed.
 

 
artist:derples, artist:frickerdoodle, artist:skypup, artist:melongifts -> not sure which  
skypup (dA) exists but hasn’t been used for years. derples (Tumblr) redirects to melongifts (Tumblr). frickerdoodle (Tumblr) isn’t tied to the others except for similar parts of the account names (not URLs) “frick”, and posting the same art and reblogging each other.
 
DP — Done.

Am working backwards through these right now. If I have something else to add I’ll reply, but otherwise will just leave a note on the post.
 
@Background Pony #F40D  
Both sources seem to note that “Yaco” (or “dào”) is the name they go by, so I’ve aliased “artist:yaaaco” into “artist:yaco” as well.
 
@ThatUsualGuy06  
I’m not sure there is any “artist:inaactive” tag. Perhaps a typo?
 
@Background Pony #33E1  
I looked through some more of their sources, and aside from Deviantart, the rest of their sites use “spirodraw” (or “spiro draw”/“spyrodraw”) and so I aliased into that one.
 
@Background Pony #F40D  
After some digging I see the best move as aliasing those tags into “artist:laura frick”

I’ve been posting most of my work under “Jr™”, so I’d like to transition away from the old joke name towards something a little more tame. It also matches with my ancient DeviantArt name, so it’s probably more appropriate.
 
I think it would be cool if artist:facelessjr was the primary tag and perhaps artist:niggerfaggot could be the secondary? Like, right now, if you search for artist:facelessjr, it will automagically bring up artist:niggerfaggot. If there is any way to possibly reverse that, that would be really cool and also nice.

@crapfest  
artist:nyuroraxbigdon seems to be a collaborative tag for artist:bigdon1992 and artist:nyurora, so I’ve kept separate.
 
@Background Pony #F40D  
It seems “cursedunicorn” has now taken the name artist:witch house from their recently used Instagram and Youtube accounts (examples of the same art being given updated signatures on Instagram), so I’ve gone to that.
 
@Brokedownandmadeone  
At the time of first posting I think “jroy101” was the more prominent name, but it seems they’ve leaned more into “smuttysquid” now (including on Discord, I believe) so I’ve gone into the latter.
 
@Brokedownandmadeone  
Similarly, Mags appears to be their dominant name, used on signatures and when referring to themself on their own site.
 
@ThatUsualGuy06  
Ah. If it’s a name change to “inaactive” though, the original request should be reversed, so I’ve gone into artist:inaactive as the main tag.
 
@Brokedownandmadeone  
think the version with the underscore was only for the handle on Twitter, with the rest using dashes as in artist:awr-hey (or just “awr”, but “awr-hey” was more common).
 
@NiggerFaggot  
Done, thanks whoever got this one for me.
 

 
Most of the remaining artists are those who I asked about their preference and am just waiting for response. Otherwise am caught up.

To my knowledge, the primary tags were usually decided on the following factors (in order of importance):  
-Artist choice  
-The oldest created username  
-The most recent change (due to name change across multiple/all sites and/or deletion/abandonment of older sites)  
-The more commonly used one (if the created dates were close enough together or whatever the first tagged upload here was)  
-Signature (usually just falls under whatever the username is from source, and gets aliased to it OR unable to find a source)
 
That was the reason I suggested awr_hey.
 
As for Mags, Iunno. I figured since pornomagnum was oldest, and they hadn’t changed their original site/made a new one to replace it, it should still go to that. Even if branding changed, it would still redirect to the same tag on search here.  
Turns out I missed his FA tag artist:purrnomagnum  
Also needs the following sites added to the tag

Hello, I would like to change my artist tag
artist:kei_kun → artist:opossum_imoto
(cut details; see original posts) @Brokedownandmadeone
 
artist:kei kun -> artist:opossum_imoto  
This one got skipped again
 
 
@Shimmering Spectacle  
They’d still need to make contact with staff on-site, since they’re still an active user.
