:Okay, done.  I asked the lady who started the sphynx.nu site but she's been unable to provide the photos any more.  So I pointed to an interview with Ted.
:Also the site has changed ownership so I removed the other links to it.

:It might also be worth adding the image http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8f/Ted_Nude_Gent.jpg to the page somewhere...it's the image from the page "Dr Evil" (scroll down) and is of the hairless Mr Bigglesworth which is mentioned on this page SmUX 21:08, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

message: When it says a sphynx was to star in Harry Potter, are we sure that we aren't confusing kinds of sphynx's. :) I don't remember any hairless cats in the books... --Eean 02:15, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There wasn't a sphynx cat in the book, it was the sphinx they were referring to. I'm also not aware of ever seeing the cat used in any of the movies.Heath Buckmaster

message: Could someone point out any other instances where the Sphynx breed was in the movies or is Mr Bigglesworth the only one? Secondly, If anyone shows the Sphynx cats, could someone come up with an actual definition of medium sized as per the breed standard?

message: Harizotoh9, last time I checked we don't just delete huge chunks of cited material. Instead, we add clean up templates? Please explain why you think this was an appropriate approach to the issue. Jooojay (talk) 17:57, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Moved to the talk page for later clean up - less "trivia-based" and instead turned into sentences/paragraphs with better citations. Jooojay (talk) 04:00, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, "In culture" sections tend to be discouraged for the reason that they do tend to collect trivia, so it needs to be a very significant cultural thing to be included. None of the trivia below qualifies and should, in fact, have been removed. Happy editing. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 14:24, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The point was that it can be re-written and not be trivia–based information, it was moved here for the development of that. There are notable sources for some of these already (including the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, etc) and the rest would need development. Jooojay (talk) 14:32, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

message: The cat in the main photo for this article does not seem to be breed standard, or at least is not exemplary, as it lacks the pot belly. I would change it, but I wanted to confirm here with breed experts first.  — HTGS (talk) 21:22, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed a lede image of a thin black Sphynx cat in a collar because it is highly stylized. Also there is much debate around using collars on this breed. Ideally the lede image would show the body of the cat, meet breed standards, and be on a white background with proper lighting. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 22:25, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
