I deleted it because you had tagged it {{Badname}}, which is a request to speedily delete the image because it has the wrong name. In this case, you indicated that the correct name is Image:Sam Roberts (2006).jpg. If that's not what you meant, let me know and I'll do what I can to correct it. --Davepape 03:23, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello Chowbok!
Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. 85.182.126.61 15:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 09:49, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Permission request[edit]
I am emailing because I am currently authoring a low-cost textbook for undergraduate students of abnormal psychology, and I found an excellent photo of Jeffrey Dahmer online at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jeffrey_Dahmer_HS_Yearbook.jpg that is attributed to you. Would you be willing to give me permission to use that image in my textbook?
Thanks for publishing your superb work on the web.
Please respond to me at burke_b[at]fortlewis.edu
