Welcome

Hello, Karen Monuszko and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Helpme}} before the question.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished!

Help us improve the Wikipedia Education Program

Hi Karen Monuszko! As a student editor on Wikipedia, you have a lot of valuable experience about what it's like to edit as a part of a classroom assignment. In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!

License tagging for File:Dual route model and deep dyslexia diagram.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Dual route model and deep dyslexia diagram.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:05, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Karen: First of all I want to say again that you are doing a great job in the deep dyslexia article and you should be proud of it. Regarding the image:

Diagrams like the one you created are not usually appropiate due to several reasons:

1-They are considered not encyclopedic, and more typical of student books, since they summarize and simplify an issue most commonly to make it easier to learn 2-They usually are very close to original research (See WP:NOR) since the creator has to make several decisions on what and how to include which does not directly come in the sources used. 3-If they are not OR they are usually only copied from a book and in that case there would be copyright issues.

My recommendation is that you do not add the specific image you created. I gave several possibilities that you may find useful to illustrate some aspects of your work. Moreover: creating new images and uploading them is quite messy and complicated, I would recommend that you search for images in Commons, where in theory any image you find is suitable for use in wikipedia. If I have time today I will add one as an example.

Hi, my professor and I consulted with the course’s online volunteers and they approved the image. I think the flow chart really helps clarify the written text. Flow charts and diagrams are often used in cognitive psychology. Thank you again for all your time and suggestions.Karen Monuszko (talk) 23:51, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeap, I discussed it with Smallmann, and although I seem to remember other cases were similar images were eliminated I may be wrong, and anyway I could not find any policy in this sense, so at the moment it is simply my opinion, so I feel quite comfortable with leaving the image in the article: time will be the best proof of its validity as everything in wikipedia. --Garrondo (talk) 07:01, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nevertheless regarding your specific question: you can choose between many licenses, depending on whether it is your work or not. The most common one in this case (created by yourself) is: {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}}. You should add the text {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} to the image description page.

I've fixed your image at Deep_dyslexia#Dual_route_model with File:Dual route model and deep dyslexia diagram.svg. Per a discussion at my talk page (User_talk:Smallman12q#Image_at_deep_dyslexia), you can use flow diagrams, charts, and mind maps provided they're factually accurate and add to the article.Smallman12q (talk) 00:41, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!!!! Karen Monuszko (talk) 02:15, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Further images

I have added two further images to the article: I hope you like them (and if you do explain why and simply eliminate them... you are the main authors of the article :-). Bests. --Garrondo (talk) 08:39, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Deep dyslexia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Morphology (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ref problem

Hi Karen, Have you noticed that with one of your last editions there is a now a reference error message (ref number 23 as of now)? I believe you forgot to include a reference with the name Salmemlin. Should be easy to fix. Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 20:04, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
