Occasionally I've noticed an e621 account with an artist name is uploading their own work (which is great),
but I notice their e621 artist page doesn't link to their e621 account.

https://e621.net/help/artists says
"If you are an artist with an e621 account and would like your account linked to your artist tag, please contact an admin."

So if a non-admin notices an artist name e621 account,
the proper route for the non-admin is to use e621's dm/"Send message" to suggest to artist account they can contact an admin??? (to link their account to their artist tag)

If yes, any suggestion(s) on better wording to send in the message?

example: username trioami https://e621.net/users/384561
has uploaded 297 posts, all of them tagged with artist tag trioami260.

(example of linked artist page: marsminer's artist page https://e621.net/artists/14989 )

I would contact them saying something among the lines of:

The Discord has a useful pin in case someone asks about being verified:

Greetings!

We can certainly do that, however you'll have to verify that you're actually the artist via note off-site to one of our accounts.

The accounts we offer:

• Furaffinity
• Inkbunny
• DeviantArt
• Weasyl
• Twitter

Just saying you'd like your artist tag linked to your account, and linking us your account, is enough for that.

Best Regards,
~
The e621 Staff

It shouldn't be hard to adapt for what you want.

Thanks m3g4p0n1 and Clawstripe,
combined your suggestions into below: (any corrections before i send?)

Hello! I noticed you upload a lot of your art to e621, did you know you could have a (free) verified status right besides your artist tag?

Example posts with verified artists names:
artist marsminer example: https://e621.net/posts/3094601 (rated safe)
artist trevhart example: https://e621.net/posts/1213933 (rated safe)
artist zp92 example: https://e621.net/posts/619856 (rated safe)

If you're interested in that, please contact site staff via note offsite via one of their accounts:

One of the advantages of being a verified artist, is that is raises the speed at which someone will review your own uploads. Knowing the artists posted their own art takes away a lot of background checking issues like checking if the source was pay-site exclusive, stolen, etc.

EDIT: Thanks Clawstrike, sent the tweaked-version (in reply below).

Overall, it looks good. If you don't mind a few tweaks:

As a suggestion, at the bottom, perhaps you could say something you like about their art. A little ego stroking can't hurt.

Thanks again for the advice.
Noticed e621 acccount SlyAsAFoxibou was uploading slyasafoxibou art, so send them Clawstripe's tweaked version (plus a thank you at end).
