 * ... that a vast British newspaper empire grew from a horse racing tip sheet published in Victorian Manchester by the enterprising son of a weaver?

 * Thanks for the article. Lots of refs... in fact five references for a single sentence may be thought more than enough. The length is fine but I had difficulty with establishing that the sporting bell (the tip sheet) grew into the Sporting Chronicle (is this the empire?). Ref 5 made no reference to "sporting" or "bell". Am I looking in the wrong place? Could you add a ref please to the para that ends "established in 1859".

 * Thanks for reading it! Those 5 refs are for everything above it up to the first sentence of the section. I was trying to avoid repeating refs, but I will spread them out with repetition where necessary. (I had only included additional refs for single specific facts above.) Will let you know when done.

 * I am finished spreading the sources, also added one (now ref #2) which explicitly mentions the "empire". The Sporting Chronicle, which grew from the Sporting Bell, was the first newspaper in the empire, which ultimately included a large group of newspapers. Helen  Online  13:25, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The Lambie source (pp. 118–119) goes into the most detail about the Bell's transformation into the Chronicle. Helen  Online  13:36, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
