Topic: Gabby_(Gardevoir) tag update

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #4875 is pending approval.

mass update gabby_(gardevoir) -> gabby_(docbats)

Reason: superix recently posted a piece of art of Gabby_(gardevoir) crediting DocBats as the commissioner. Piece can be found here
Another piece was uploaded recently here
Docbats seems to also have posted Gabby in response to other artist's posts such as here
Upon doing some more "investigation" (if you can call a twitter search that) I found another piece of Gabby where the commissioner is Docbats linked here
I would like to note that archiving the original tweet linked (piece by superix) is not possible to my knowledge as archive.org and other websites are prventted from doing so.
In the link here the alt text on the image is listed as:

Character © orreso/DocBatsWasTaken

This seems to make it certain.
I have also found some more evidence here (Orreso seems to be a former name docbats used.) (The FA post with the bids can be found here )
here
here
here
Do note these are all separate links with Gabby in them listed as being commissioned by an "Orreso." Orreso seems to be a defunct name hence referring to them as docbats from here on.

With all of this information, I'm making this bulk update request.

someone should probably go and ask this person directly to confirm ownership of the character, and, since it was stated in the previous forum topic on the subject that the character owner might have wanted to stay anonymous, ask if it's okay to attach the username to the character.

if we can confirm ownership but aren't given permission to attach the username, I guess we could ask for the character to be given a last name or something.

Asked Docbats about it on Twitter and they said they are okay with it.
