Awesome, thanks guys.
Hey there team, I came across another artist that has duplicate profile today.
âRekaâ and âReka Oneâ.
Hello Andrew,
Merged James Reka into the existing Reka One. There are 2 pieces of Reka, but regarding the description and style itâs not Reka One.
Thank you, another duplicate artist name less:)!
Have a nice weekend
Stef
Thanks Stef, but thereâs always more work for you.
I cleaned up one artist name one of our previous hunters had made, moved a record to âZedr Oneâ, so I think you will find that âZedrâ is now an orphaned artist name (ie name with no artworks) that can be cleaned up.
Also, I noticed another artist with two different names. âBeastmanâ is the same artist as âBrad Eastmanâ.

Hi Andrew,
Hitted the delete button on Zedr:). One page couldnât load (Brad Eastman).
Always a good help to read those things on our forum.
Cheers
Howdy,
Here are a few more duplicates that I have found during my documenting:
-
Claire Foxton - appears twice for some reason
-
Emmanuel Jarus/Young Jarus/Jarus - need help distinguishing which one should be used between, Iâd probably go with Young Jarus.
-
Poncho Army - a misspelt version âPoncho Amyâ exists I think used for a silo or water tank trail.
-
Beastman - a smaller profile with two artworks (Brad Eastman) should be merged, mentioned above.
I just noticed the artworks in the artistâs page are justified left. I think they should be centred? (i.e. the photos within the square)
Iâve also noticed there are a lot of Unknowns around, this artwork is definitely well-travelled in 43 different countries. 
Unkown is a legend in the game Briggs

Couldnât fix 2 Brad Eastmanâs (page couldnât load), as mentioned earlier in this thread (2 weeks ago).
The unknowns⊠indeed, more and more artworks of this Artist has been uploaded:)))).
Hopefully weâll have a solution in the future to handle these, or try to limit these uploads.
Less is more, better less but good correct informations, than an overload of unknowns artist artworks, it feels a bit sloppy?
If you guys discover unknown artists artworks, and you might know the artist⊠make a thread on the forum and let us know.
Edit:
Brad Eastman 1 is fixed, the other one âpage couldnât loadâ.
Claire Foxton ok
Poncho A(r)my ok
Decided to use Jarus, since Jarus is tagged on the few artworks Iâve checked. 1 Jarus " page couldnât load".
Gr Stef
again a duplicate artist and also with the same name, Rochihiro

Stef,
There is a âblankâ artist in the database âUllar Taylorâ because I had incorrectly added this a while back.
Neda (smarter than me ⊠lol), correctly added âUlla Taylorâ today and I realised I had made a mistake. I blame the artist though as her Insta is @ullartaylor and her website ullart.com, but Iâve realised today that must be a play on the word ART.
Anyway, I fixed my entry to âUlla Taylorâ, so now the âUllar Taylorâ with no linked artworks can be removed.

Hi @Stef - couple duplicates here. I think I made one of them while figuring out the platform, apologies! I also told Stef (Carson) today about the best practices you shared on Artist field inputs.
Miles âEl Macâ MacGregor - delete. Correct profile is: El Mac
Thomas âBreezeâ Marcus, Thomas Marcus - merge to Breeze
Shela Yu - merge into Shellshaker
Leter 91 & Leter are one and the same instagram for reference: Gabriel Pecina (Leter91). In local media coverage he goes by âLeterâ - unsure if this should be âLeterâ or âLeter91â w/ space removed. You choose! 
Oh and Lucinda âLa Morenaâ Hinojos is just La Morena
Thank you!
Hey Serena
Great, gonna have look at it later today.
In some cases itâs indeed not that easy to find the correct artistsname. Some artists change regularly. Reach out to the artist (via Instagram) might work maybe⊠.
Anyways, Phoenix is going crazy on Street Art Cities, love that:)!
Cheers
Edit: the mentioned names are deleted.

Sure is a legend. In Bergen (my town in Norway) I have made âartistâ Unknown Bergen" Thereby when painted over they will stay as âartistâ under Bergen. This separating them from the other legendes.

We copied this idea from you for Melbourne too Oistein, itâs a great idea. It also gives you an artist page you can go to every now and then to review, in case you can now recognise them. And you can send your âUnknownâ page to other street art photographers to ask if they recognise any easily.

Hey Stef,
Another little job for you.
We discovered we had two profiles for âMaHaâ and âMatt Hannahâ who were the same artist, so we moved all the âMaHaâ ones to âMatt Hannahâ, so the empty artist stub for âMaHaâ needs to be cleaned up.
Thanks

Hello,
Some updates for you
-
C215 vs U215
I think that the artist U215 in your database is in fact C215 (existing also in database).
The signature in the lower left can confirm that. It is the same that the one for C215.
Portrait (n'est plus visible) by U215 - Street Art Cities
If you agree, then this U215 should be merged into C215. -
Guaté Mao vs Guate Mao
I think Guaté Mao and Guate Mao are the same person.
As signature is Guaté Mao , I think Guate Mao (without accent) should be merged into the other.

Hi Arnaud,
Solved those duplicates. Thanks for flagging this. Always a big help for the mods, and the community in general.
Have you read this topic? https://streetart.community/t/artists-unknown-lets-solve-these/1990/13
? Had a brief look on Toulouse and adjusted 1 unknown into âUnknown - Toulouseâ . It would be really lovely and helpful if you adjust the others as well:). Would be a good training for maybe a future quality team member?
Have a nice weekend!
Cheers Stef
Thank you. I added some others in the category.
By the way, It drives to an another duplicate topic.
I think the artist âAnonymeâ is not a real one.
Indeed , Anonyme is the french word for Anonymous. Then this one should be merged with âUnknownâ : One for the belgian city of LiĂšge , the other one for an another belgian city.

Changed Anonyme into Unknown - Liege.
