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 favour, it can be added to the list.
 * If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis.
 * If you are nominating a previously nominated image, make sure you add link(s) to previous nominations. A historical list of nominations is stored in the archives.

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, by wiki users.
 * 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 75x75, but smaller than 250x250 pixels.
 * For larger images, use a thumbnail which is within these sizes.
 * The image is in compliance with the Images and media policy.

How to nominate
See the following example:

Example
Description: Sample description.

Reason: Sample reason.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. ~

Note to nominators (READ THIS BEFORE NOMINATING)

 * Describe the image. The description should describe the image itself, and not anything else.  Note that the description appears on the Main Page. 
 * Be neutral. The description should not be biased, and avoid superlatives, such as "most", "greatest", "best", etc.
 * Be creative. Descriptions beginning with "A picture of..." and "A view of..." are not appropriate and should be avoided.
 * Avoid redundancy. Do not repeat the "title" of the image in the description. Try reading the title and the description together to see how it sounds. For example,  Kharidian Desert, a shimmering oasis  sounds better than  Kharidian Desert, a shimmering oasis in the Kharidian Desert .
 * Use it first. Please make sure the image is used in the mainspace before nominating.

Mother Mallum
Description: Queen of the sea slugs, the mother of evil.

Reason: When I glanced at the Mother Mallum article, I could not help but notice how excellent the quality of this image was and the superb detail. I think it deserves a spot on the Mainpage.

 * Support - as nom. 09:10, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * Support - As nominator. 02:33, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * OMEGA Support - This just looks awesome! --Death 4210 03:13, January 10 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This image to me is just some flowers in beds. Chopped of at the left side, and overall I just think I don't like it very much to be on the home page. 15:13, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It is very dark, making it hard to see easily. 06:44, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's a great image taken from a superb angle, the lighting really spoil's it


 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 26 January 2010. 07:59, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - It's pretty good. But I just have some bad feeling about it -_- 15:14, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The detail is great, but I don't like how it just shows some flowers, a pillar and something dark in the background. It's just not interesting. 21:59, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not so interesting. 20:23, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Count Draynor's Coffin
Description: The entrance to Count Draynor's gloomy hall.

Reason: Simply put, it's spooky! I love the lighting in this picture, the coffin and the actual atmosphere

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. Death 4210 23:27, January 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I've restarted the nomination and archived the old one, seeing as we already have an image of Count Draynor's Coffin, and this would be a nomination for replacement. 07:37, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support as 'new' FIMG - I like the new image, but I don't think that it is better than the old one. I think both should be FIMGs. 21:56, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I really like the old one. The new hallway one is just not to the point, black edges make it look really lame :|. 02:20, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The old one was better. No need to have 2 images of the same thing. 02:27, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 26 January 2010. 07:59, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's ugly, too far away and off-center. The old one has a better angle and show a lot more details. Sorry, but no.--Yojeez 22:43, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This one really sucks, the old one really got to the main point of the image. 15:15, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose-Like everyone else said, the old one is better. It shows more of the room. The new one just concentrates on the coffin. 23:12, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, the old one is the image that concentrates on the coffin. The new one is the one that shows more of the room. 11:03, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Second to that, I only featured the image *for* the room, NOT the coffin. The coffin is extra, and I don't see why we can't have both. The coffin might be detailed, alright I agree with you, but the room has the amazing carpet, the candles, wall textures, etc. ~ Death_4210
 * Comment - Yes but they are under the same name, Death, and people may choose what they wish. You are kind of bribing people to pick your image. "The coffin is extra, and I don't see why we can't have both. The coffin might be detailed, alright I agree with you, but the room has the amazing carpet, the candles, wall textures, etc." I mean no harm to start an argument. 15:03, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * How is that 'bribing'? 14:42, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have used 'convincing', however if you read the quotes it's a little off :/. But I can put those away now >_o. 23:57, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I don't like the centering, the black border, and the other image is just better looking. 20:30, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Dragon (Unstable Foundations)
Reason: It's larger and the edges are a bit smoother.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. -- 17:25, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too dark in the back, try to do 1 more try in this image ;) 23:50, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - (I don't know why this is at the bottom of this post, if you can move it, please help >_<)Ahem, It looks much better, it doesn't matter if it's dark, that's what makes it looks mysterious... or at least to me O_o. I think it's much better. And the edges are smoother :], as said. 17:25, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nominations for replacement are at the bottom 01:58, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, my individual post was way at the bottom. [[File:Astral Rune.PNG]] Jhanely  [[File:Soul Rune.PNG]] 03:49, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * See [ here] -- 13:04, January 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support- This one looks a lot better, though I do miss his tail. -- 14:53, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - The one for replacement is much better. Though it excludes some things, like 1 back leg, and tail, it still looks much better. 06:21, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I really miss the tail and leg. It just makes it look... Different. 22:00, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - A common tutorial dragon, not so great to be featured. [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] BAHJY1 talk [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] 17:04, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is not for featuring (Due to it already as) this for replacing 23:15, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * How is this dragon common? There is only one tutorial dragon. -- 15:00, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 29 January 2009. 06:52, January 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - The older image is slightly more detailed, and has the tail as well. 07:05, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
