RuneScape:Featured images

Featured images are images that add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article. Taking the adage that "a picture is worth a thousand words," the images featured on the Main Page should illustrate a Wiki article in such a way as to add significantly to that article, according to the featured image criteria. All currently featured images can be found in the featured images gallery.

Nominating

 * If you believe an image should be featured, please add it below to the "Current nominations" section.
 * Conversely, if you believe that an image should be unfeatured, add it to the "Nominations for delisting" section.
 * For promotion, if an image is listed here for about seven days with three or more reviewers in support (excluding the nominator(s)) and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the list.
 * Note, however, that anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets.
 * If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis.

Image criteria

 * The image is used in an article.
 * Unless the image is used elsewhere in the wiki, it will not be accepted. This is to prevent "orphaned images".
 * The image is taken from RuneScape game client.
 * Non-free images used under the "Fair use" condition should not be nominated.
 * The image is less than 100kb.
 * This is to facilitate users with slower connections, and to reduce lag.
 * Larger images may be used, provided the thumbnails are within this limit.
 * The image is moderately sized.
 * The size is recommended to be larger than 30x30, but smaller than 200x200 pixels.
 * For larger images, use a thumbnail which is within these sizes.

Goblin Village
 The Goblins of Goblin Village gather to listen to the chosen commander 

Reason: - A pretty unique cutscene where you see a large number of npcs at once at an interesting angle. Very nice coloring and use of lighting as well.


 * Support - As nominator. 22:51, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support - As said above, the image and colors are very well done. But, I am somewhat put off from that chatbox image. 22:54, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I agree with Muzzy. The chat box should be removed.  02:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Chat box has been cropped. 18:26, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support - I like this pic, however I think it could be cropped even better to focus just on the mob of goblins. If that were done, my support would be full.  21:46, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support- As nominator. User:sr ryse
 * Support-Great picture. C0smic 19:04, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

 The reason Runescape became so popular, a lust to kill others 

Reason: - No reason given.


 * Support- As nominator. User:Chonaic17 21:57 7 April 2009
 * Oppose- The image is small, i can't see anything, just the skulls. [[Image:Questicon.PNG]] Nandonalt  Talk[[Image:Guthix symbol.png]] 21:02, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - Added link to Player killing. 02:16, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Dagganoth Prime
 The most dangerous of the Dagganoth Kings 

Reason: - I thought we'd get some interest from this pic. It gets people wondering about the Dag Kings.


 * Support- As nominator. 05:05, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too black; only the outline of the dagganoth is seen.  12:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - fixed it, made it brighter.  14:04, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Aviansie
''' One of the most graceful characters in Runescape. '''


 * Support - As nominator. Very good quality
 * Oppose - the AA problem is too significant, if it can get fixed I'd support it. 01:02, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Changing the AA made a big difference, this looks good to me. 18:34, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Image size reduced to 150px, as the image is too large in height. 12:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Brassica Prime
 The most dangerous of the Brassica Kings (lol jk)  '' All hail Brassica Prime! ''

Reason: - I thought this was a good image that captures the joke, and the fireworks too.


 * Support- As nominator. 01:28, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support- I love the image because it has great quality.

TzHaar City


Reason: - Shows the creatures of TzHaar in their home setting.


 * Support- As nominator. Mensilater 03:31, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - ah yes TzHaar, such a unique looking place 18:47, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Great imagery, and by that, there is great detail, little clutter (such as hitpoints bars, small icons, etc). 02:44, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice detail. I like the lines created by the lava. 12:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Dragon Battle Axe


Reason: - Shows the Dragon Battle Axe special attack at a wonderful angle.


 * Support - As nominator C0smic 03:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Somehow reminds me of Braveheart 05:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Image width reduced to 175px, as the height exceeded 200px. 12:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Underground Pass


Reason: - Eye-catching and detailed Underground Pass picture. Also because we need more game client pictures.


 * Support- As nominator. Mensilater 06:16, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The detail in the lighting makes it seem dangerous, which it is. And look at those spikes! 13:08, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Makes Underground Pass look pretty damn dangerous quest. =D (Why does it have a crop template?) 13:18, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - A nice spooky image for a nice spooky quest. Also I removed the crop template, it must have snuck in there accidentiallly when I was doing a lot of image tagging.  19:43, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Ancient Cavern


Reason: - Several monsters and surroundings of the Ancient Cavern catched in one picture. Nice lighting and details.


 * Support- As nominator. -- 14:10, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - You can really see anything from the thumbnail, maybe it needs cropping? 19:46, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Zanik (2)



 * Support - As nominator. I think that the second image is more colorful and more visually appealing. I think RuneScape offers several better images compared to their floating chat heads.  01:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I prefer the images here to be ingame, capturing the perfect shot can be hard. When it is just given by Jagex, it doesn't follow the criteria The image is taken from RuneScape game client. 02:42, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

TzTok-Jad
Reason: - Breaks the guideline: The image is taken from RuneScape game client.


 * Support Neutral - Tollerach made a good point. I support delisting after replacement images are chosen. And was the guideline made after featuring? 22:24, 10 April 2009 (UTC) 13:19, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The criteria listed have not been put through consensus or otherwise approved by anyone other than AZ. Besides, all of the images I submitted which have been supported unanimously do not meet the current criteria. 22:39, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ample time was given to discuss the criteria for nomination. I just assumed that since no one actually bothered to discuss this, I took the initiative of finalising the criteria.  If you wish, please discuss this specific criterion in the talk page.  13:27, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The guidelines were put in place to get this up and running. I disagree with this guideline at this time.  Until we have several good game client images, I say we leave these images in. Besides, they look good.  23:05, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
