 +Q: In Six-Foot Tiger, Three-Foot Cage, some images have citations in them. Is it best to just transcribe this as “text reads:…” or should I use a long description with quote and citation styles? Maybe it will depend on the image? (If that's the case, it's still helpful to know I have options!) Here are two examples.

 +A: You can follow the same main instructions for all Graphs and [[public:nnels:etext:images:complex_images:graphs_charts|Charts on the Graphs and Charts: How to Write a Long Description]] This page covers the basics for ALL graphs and charts. It also states that the two subsections are "the most common chart types we get." The tables you made are a great way to translate that data in those sections. Don't forget to also describe the rest of the infograph as well. It is stated in the wiki not to describe images (arrows, etc) but what they mean, so your instinct was right about that!
