Re-worked much of the article

Using citations posted by Cunard in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lumina Media, I put all but one of his 13 citations into the article. In order to organize the information, I started a new section which morphed into a "timeline". It's surely not a complete timeline of all the asset acquisitions and divestments, but it's a big start.

Then I tried to look up all the remaining magazines and websites that were scattered on the page and found some citations for those, added a few I found along the way, and removed those that were mentioned earlier in the Timeline section so that the list wasn't a duplication of earlier mentions. (I didn't check all of them on the list; I ran out of steam and left the remaining ones.)

I don't profess to have created the best article nor the most complete, but it's a fair start. Feel free to reorganize it if you think it should be organized a different way.

NB: I feel strongly that each periodical should be mentioned at least once, because Wikipedia is full of citations which mention printed media, especially the magazines. Best that they are noted somewhere in wikiland for someone researching things like "What was Thoroughbred Times?" Books seem to have a residual presence on the internet (they have ISBNs and get catalogued), but once these periodicals stop being printed, their presence on the Internet seems to disappear quickly.

Error: I-5 was publisher of Cat Fancy and Dog Fancy by the time of their closure

Our article here says that I-5 was publisher of '"Dogster and Catster and Lumina of Dog Fancy and Cat Fancy at the time of the closure of the latter two, but this is directly contradicted by both the sources cited for this, indicating that I-5 was the owner/publisher of all four at this time. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 20:26, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
