I just went through and retagged all tagged jack_o_lantern and jack-o-lantern to jack_o'_lantern. May I recommend that:

jack_o_lantern aliases to jack_o'_lantern
jack-o-lantern aliases to jack_o'_lantern

Reasoning: Jack o' lantern is the proper spelling, but I don't expect taggers to remember that. This way, it's all unified under one tag.

Also, as jack-o-lantern apparently implied pumpkin, may I recommend that:

jack_o'_lantern implies pumpkin

Reasoning: I very much doubt we're going to see jack o' lanterns carved out of turnips here on e621.

.

On a rhetorical note, why do I lately get images of a pumpkin-headed, undead Micheal Jackson when I think "jack o' lantern"? :\

awesome! good job dude :D

aliased and implied :D

for the sake of mentioning, when you want to suggest an alias like that, you don't have to retag everything--the system will do that automatically for me when I run the implication/alias through <3 though sometimes it's not as easy as that... when things get complicated.. ^^;

keep up the good work <3

Thank you. :)

True, but a person has to think to make the suggestion before they get involved with retagging. :p

I noticed that blonde_hair and yellow_hair are separate tags, each with a large number of pictures they're attached to. Since they're basically describing the same range of hair colors, should not

• yellow_hair implies blonde_hair
• blonde_hair implies yellow_hair

or one of the following

• yellow_hair aliases to blonde_hair
• blonde_hair aliases to yellow_hair

On a boring side note, women are blonde while men are blond. :p I'm not advocating a tag change to blond_hair, but it might be a good idea that

• blond_hair aliases to blonde_hair

if it hasn't been already.

Actually, blond is both the male AND unisex term meaning "yellow hair". Blonde, as used in the English language, is a loan-word from French where it's blonde, which is the feminine adjective. Originally, it was just blond for both, and is still used as such today, even with the advent of the french-based 'blonde'.

I still think that blond(e) sounds better than yellow_hair in general. But then i'm an 'exotic' word whore. :P

Nothing wrong with that. :D English is a shameless kleptomaniac, yet is still jampacked with its own slew of vary useful words you just have to wonder why people don't make more use of.

Personally, I would go with blond_hair myself and just alias blonde_hair to it, but I decided it better to err on the side of caution. After all, I don't know the history of the original decision. It's why I don't make any of my tag suggestions here lightly.

Don't! even if the decision is against your ideas, the discussion about it is better than leaving it alone when it could be better.
