Hello, thank you for your input and comments. So that you know who this is, I am David Leland Hyde, the son of Philip Hyde. I have known him and been familiar with his career for 45 years. I am writing a book about him and have two fire safe file drawers full of his clippings files of the actual articles about his photography and work going back to 1947 besides his archive of correspondence and business files and soon I will have all of his original film again. When I write about him I often do not cite references because I don't necessarily remember where I read it, or learned it, or if it came from Philip Hyde himself. Over 30 years ago I first became involved in environmental issues through my father, Philip Hyde. In the late 1980s I spoke on environmental topics around the country and in British Columbia. When I first studied journalism, I covered the environmental beat for the UNM Daily Lobo. I had articles picked up by the AP Wire and for the first time the paper made the AP Wire’s top 20 of all college newspapers in the United States. I later became a regular feature writer for Crosswinds Weekly and had articles nationally syndicated. I have also written for American Forests Magazine, Outlook Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, Earthwatch Magazine, New Mexico Naturally, Outdoor Photographer online, Albuquerque Journal, The Venue, The Santa Fe New Mexican, Pasa Tiempo, The San Francisco Chronicle, Santa Fe Sun, New Mexico Light, The Denver Post and others. I also went to Journalism school. I know how to make references but this term "inline references" is confusing to me. I also have forgotten the exact format for inserting references directly into academic articles. I am not sure if that is what people are looking for here, or footnotes or what, but I feel that I have provided the necessary references. Also, more information is widely available all over the internet. I did not write the original article on Dad and cannot vouch or take blame for its lack of references. All I am trying to do is to help out here and help out my father's wiki to make sure it is accurate. Please tell me how else you would like the references done if they are not done correctly now and explain how to find out who put that flag on the wiki in the first place. I am not interested in a PhD in Wikipedia and I do not have time to read a lot of articles about how to use it. I do not plan to do so extensively. --Magician1111 (talk) 05:20, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
