A fact from Flim-Flam! appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 September 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that James Randi used his 1980 book Flim-Flam! to launch an annual award for "the psychic who fools the greatest number of people with the least effort"?
Image:Flimflam.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot09:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The ISBN for this book (ISBN0-87975-198-3 or ISBN9780879751982) at Google Books now goes to a book entitled "The Truth about Uri Geller" by James Randi. The description of that book on Google Books seems to relate to Flim-Flam, however, concluding "Those of us unable to discriminate between genuine scientific research and the pseudoscientific nonsense that has resulted in fantastic theories and fancies have long needed James Randi and Flim-Flam!" and the reviews are about Flim-Flam!. Looks like they have messed up the title, and got the rest right...
