Getting an error when inserting a new record to the database

i am using Rails 3.2.3 on Ubuntu and below is my schema file and model file code:

schema.rb

ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 20120528062318) do

  create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
    t.string   "name"
    t.string   "email"
    t.datetime "created_at",      :null => false
    t.datetime "updated_at",      :null => false
    t.string   "password_digest"
  end

  add_index "users", ["email"], :name => "index_users_on_email", :unique => true

end

user.rb

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :email, :name, :password, :password_confirmation
  has_secure_password

  before_save { |user| user.email = email.downcase }
  valides :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }
  VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i
  validates :email, presence: true, format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX },
                    uniqueness: true
  validates :password, presence: true, length: { minimum: 6 }
  validates :password_confirmation, presence: true
end

i tried to enter a new record to the database from the rails console with the command: User.create(name: 'Hilal Agil', email: '[email protected]', password: 'welcome', password_confirmation: 'welcome') and i am getting the error below:

You have a typo. This line:

valides :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }

Should say this:

validates :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }

If you look at the error message you can see that it is telling you that you are trying to call a method name valides, which does not exist.
