Moved a bunch of content[edit]

This content was on the page itself, but it looked ugly, cluttersome, and out-of-place, so i moved it here:

Citations for Fluffy: a fictional three-headed dog[edit]

  • 2000 April 20, Justin Palmer <justin@briareos.demon.co.uk>, “Re: Which anime has been shown on TV?”, in uk.media.animation.anime[1] (Usenet), message-ID <y8TVrHAnSz$4EwVS@briareos.demon.co.uk>:
    Yes. Along with suffering from an unprecedented cold snap, it would appear the traditional three headed dog has gone missing. Apparently, it answers to the name of "Fluffy... " ^_^

Footnote; usage[edit]

I added a footnote, “"Wizard", in this article, means witch or wizard, i.e. magical person of either gender. This is partly for simplicity, and partly because the term "witch" may be misogynistic.”; and edited the article thus. Okay? Under said usage, which i hav long favored, e.g. Hermione Granger or Ginny Weasley would be called a "wizard", not a "witch". Solomonfromfinland (talk) 19:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
