Topic: Tag Alias: vono -> noca

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

So, alias denied. This is two different artist that have gotten mixed together because at different times they shared the same nickname "vono".

Noca/kemonoca/のか used to have their pixiv display name as ヴォノ which transliterates to "vono". However, they're chinese, their english is decent but far from native sounding, and their art style is fairly different. They're mostly on Pixiv, but also have an inkbunny and twitter that they use.

The other artist is bolloxtothat/loodovono (their two tumblr names) and is well archived on /vp/ booru as "vono_(artist)" which probably originated as a shortened nickname of "loodovono". They're mostly active on tumblr, favors traditional media and sketches, different art style, fluent english with lots of casual slang.

Normally, messes like this one can get rather tricky to keep from re-orccuring, however I think in this case we'll be ok now that its sorted out. The confusion only seems to have happened on this site, no where else. And even so, the majority of the vono tag was still loodovono's art. It was just a handful of Noca's images that had gotten in the wrong place. The other booru use of the tag "vono_(artist)" seems to be exclusively for loodovono's art as well. So it's all very consistent. Add to that the fact that Noca is no longer using "vono" anywhere (I had to use something which had archived the old information to even find that clue). So, most of everywhere on the internet is going to conclude "vono" = loodovono from tumblr, and any continued mistags for Noca's work are extremely unlikely to happen again.

So I just moved the handful of Noca's art out of the vono tag, and deleted the OP alias. I also aliased each of their other names to their respective tags, so that's all handled. [For posterity's sake: that meant aliasing kemonoca and のか to --> noca. And aliasing bolloxtothat and loodovono to --> vono. ]
