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 file size 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.

How to nominate
See the following example:

Example
Description: A description for the image. Maximum 10 words long.

Reason: Provide a valid reason for nomination.

Note to nominators

 * The description should describe the image itself, and not be biased.
 * Be creative. Description such as "A picture of..." is not acceptable.
 * Try not to use superlatives (such as "most", "greatest", "best", etc.).
 * Please make sure the image is used in the mainspace before nominating.
 * Nominations without a valid reason and description will not be accepted.

Lonely Elfess
Description - A lonely musician plays her Ocarina amongst the Isafdarian landscape.

Reason - Shows off some very nice textures of a recent update, and a beautiful Elfess and her delicately made Crystal Ocarina. (The Image is rather large, and best appreciated in detail.)


 * Support - as nom. 21:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - She's to lonely. =S 21:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I decided to keep her lonely because I wanted to keep the quietness of Isafdar and the peace of it too - should I retake it with a few friends in the picture? 21:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The area is beautiful. Can't get enough of the Elven lands. ;) Cheekun 05:48, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I like the lonelyness, it doesn't distract you from the surrounding area. I like the foggy tree in the background, too, it makes it look all mysterious. Nice pic :-) cflm (talk) 16:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - The description is too long. It just needs one word to be removed or you can try to make a new description.=) 11:21, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hehe - knew I'd do something wrong >_< I got rid of 'crystal' so it's down to 10 words - it's that okay?
 * Support - The image looks real nice and peaceful, very beautiful angel. 11:21, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very nice character modelling with the Elfess, and the scenary looks good. The fog in the background adds a nice little bit of melancholy to it; appropiate, considering she's all on her own... -- 15:29, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * A beautiful elf playing amongst the mysterious forest --98.199.4.136 16:49, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It is very calm and calming, and I like the way you have managed to get your player out the way. Nice pic.17:04, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very nice image, shows off Isafdar well. 19:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - An incredibly beautiful image, Isafdar is amazing and this just shows how fantastic it is. It is simply enchanting, words cannot express how you have managed to capture Isafdar! 14:27, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is the only bunny that will ever make it to the front page. 23:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Star sprite (2)
Description - The freed star sprite, smiling as ever.

Reason - I think featured images lacks anything that just makes you look at it and say "Aww... Isn't that cute?", and this fills it just pefectly. Just so you know, this is my frirst featured images, so there may be a few problem


 * Support - As nominator. I have changed the image, as many people would have prefered a better image than just a chat head. 11:59, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Splitted this off the previous nomination of the star sprite after image was changed by nominator. 13:25, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Baxtorian Falls
Description - A waterfall teeming with beauty.

Reason - I chose this, because it has very nice textures and also shows the beauty of the water, and of a much-under looked area. Image is larged, and most appreciated in detail.


 * Support - as nom.
 * Support - Very beautiful. Looks almost like real life to me. =P 12:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Isafdar
Description - The magical elven forest.

Reason - I think it is a very touching picture, encouraging users to read the article.


 * Support - As nominator and screenshot taker. 23:08, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I like that, its a very nice pic. --Degenret01 23:19, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Slight support - Looks good... but Isafdar could be shown a bit better, as is shown with the elfess image. Still a good image though. 23:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * This shows more isafdar then that Elfess. 23:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Could be taken at a better place, different angle and more variety in the scenery. 23:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - What do you mean by "more variety in the scenery"? This picture has cyan like magical grass, waterlillies, mushrooms, butterflies, bears, and more animals. An even a place with water. SO, Sorry I don't agree with your comment Elf. 00:33, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It feels like I miss something on the horizon . Maybe I watch the details to much nowadays, I'll stop with that. 00:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Ask Jagex to add clouds and we will be fine =) lol, Joking :P. Thank you Elf for your feedback ;). (Offtopic: really liked your coral reef image) 01:17, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - It's nice, I agree - it would've been better without you in the way. Also, how comes my first comment was deleted? o_O

Aviansie (2)
Description - Graceful, bird-like creature.

Reason - I think it is a very nice picture. The detail of it and transparacy makes it a featured image.

 * Support - A very detailed image deserves the main page. 14:52, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
