Paul Brook
Hi. When making a metaphoric comparison, it is usual to refer to notable examples to make the description clearer to the laypeople reading. Paul Brook is little known outside the magic fraternity - so his inclusion in the paragraph citing perfomers who attribute mentalism effects to psychological methods confuses rather than clears up the matter. I also removed Gerry McCambridge from that paragraph for the same reason. Furthermore, in writing there's a "rule of three" that governs the optimimum aesthetic structure of a descriptive sentence - we already have those three. Brook is now listed in the Famous Mentalists section, so if you are trying to raise his profile, that should be sufficient. Mr Twain 09:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for clearig that up for me; I see where you are coming from. I guess it can be hard to look at things from a lay person perspective at times. Thank you for taking the time to respond. All the best.

Commercial use of Image:OTI JPG.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:OTI JPG.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:OTI JPG.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:OTI JPG.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 18:13, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:OTI JPG.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:OTI JPG.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Image:Paulbrook wiki.jpg
An image that you uploaded, Image:Paulbrook wiki.jpg, has been listed at because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Powers T 17:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Paulbrook wiki.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Paulbrook wiki.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 15:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
