A picture of mine was flagged about four days ago. I finally happened to log in last night and saw the message, but when I clicked on the photo, it was already gone.

Based on the tiny, tiny thumbnail, if the picture is the one I think it is (Sarah Dyer), then the reason for flagging "this is not a correct picture for this author" is erroneous. I took the picture myself, I very well know it's a picture of Sarah Dyer.

So what do I do?

EDIT: I think I see the problem; since I added the photo, more books by "Sarah Dyer" have appeared, and it's a different Sarah Dyer. In fact, my Dyer's books seem to not even be on the entry anymore? ::shrug:: However, this only makes my example moot, not my question.

Best thing is to re-upload it, and try to address the reason for the flagging. So you might put something in the credit line such as "Sarah Dyer, author of "Book X"".

my Dyer's books seem to not even be on the entry anymore?

When I search your catalogue, I don't find any books by Sarah Dyer (or anyone named Dyer, for that matter). Could you have deleted them at some point? What are the titles?

I never owned any books by Sarah Dyer. I mean "my" Dyer as in the one I took a picture of, as opposed to the other Dyers that I've never heard of. I could have sworn there was some Action Girl on the page, though.

I had messaged the person who flagged the picture and now I have a reason for the problem, though: the Sarah Dyer entry got merged with another author and when separated, the picture stuck to the other entry... that's why it was flagged:

I'm going to delete and re-upload, thanks.
