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.

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.

Catherby
The general calm atmosphere at Catherby.

Reason: Good angle, capturing what makes Runescape so good - the old-fashioned fishing at Catherby. A classic.


 * Support - As nominator. You might want to click on it to see it big.18:02, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Not so nostalgic with no macroers. =D Classic, though. Quite a few fishers, though. 18:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - You can actually tell it's Catherby due to the Water Obelisk on the island. Good job -- 21:39, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - I think it's a nice image. I hardly recognized it though without the all flamers that seem to hang out there and I almost never look at it facing south, lol.  18:55, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - I don't really like the positioning, here. The fishers seem awfully small, and, to be honest, things look a bit unorganized (there's too much going on, with the fence, the road, the obsilik in the background, etc.). If we could get a more... direct shot (for lack of a better term) of the fishing with the environment, that'd be great; but I just don't like how crowded it feels. -- [[Image:Dragon two-handed sword.png|Beware the underrated.]] Pikaandpi  Berserker Fury![[Image:Bandoschestplate.gif|Hit hard or go home.]]‎ 14:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - As per Pika. 18:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I love the water =D -- 15:56, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Fence at the foreground should be removed. It is taking up 1/3 of the image.  00:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - The fence gives it the sense of a photo that has been taken, it would be empty without it.13:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If the fence is really important, it should not be taking up that much space. Maybe you should move closer (or farther away) from the fence, and re-take the photo. I think the Rule of thirds apply here. 02:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Any better?12:08, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The fog looks terrible and the fence as well. 18:53, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I resized it to 200px to fit the criteria 21:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Brimhaven Dungeon (2)
The legendary stairway leading to the Brimhaven Dungeon, the resting place of the metal dragons.


 * Support - As nominator. I know this image was up to be featured a while back, but the complaints with the image have been fixed. The brightness of the screencap is now adequate so you can actually see whats going on, the file format has been changed to png, and it has been retaken and cropped to better show off its real size and detail. I also took the screenshot further down the stairway to remove the fog and show the full length of it. You can see the old image here for comparison [] 06:21, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Omg, wonderful image. [[Image:Questicon.PNG]] Nandonalt  Talk[[Image:Guthix symbol.png]] 22:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Much, much better. It's also one of the first images of the underground areas of RuneScape up for being featured (the Stone of Jas image doesn't really count...) and it feels mildly dark and foreboding. Beautiful. -- [[Image:Dragon two-handed sword.png|Beware the underrated.]] Pikaandpi  Berserker Fury![[Image:Bandoschestplate.gif|Hit hard or go home.]]‎ 14:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I love that image, considering using it as my wallpaper. Requiem1160 17:40, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - As above. 18:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

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)

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


 * 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)
 * Oppose - Image is too small, and currently, has no current use. As per the criteria, The image is used in an article, I have to say a big no. 21:07, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
