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.

 * Support - As nominator. Bahjy1 20:26, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I do like the image, but the description MUST change 20:33, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral (might change) - Waiting for other users to vote. 22:45, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight Oppose - It's okay, yet there are some special things to it, I don't think there's enough. 02:37, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Good detail, but nothing special about the image. It looks cluttered and disorganised to me.   16:32, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not enough seen. -- 19:26, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Good golly, this image is fantastic! I love how detailed and up close that is! I would change how green it is, though. I think there's too much of it. 08:29, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It looks very weird. It seems like the ghost came out of the water and is blasting the player with some sort of green lightning. The detail is awesome though. 17:46, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Oli 20:23, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - This pic looks good and interesting to me. I would suggest full mith instead of full addy to be less green.  I'd be happy to someone a set if they need it for the pic.   21:30, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Magic Evil Tree
Descripiton A scary look of an evil tree.

Reason I passed by the page of this monster and I just said WOW!

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator 22:11, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Supper oppose - Awful hands and ugly image in general 22:53, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - There's nothing special to display there. It's a tree, who is evil, with a face. 02:38, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Who's leafs have dandruff. -- 02:43, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Dude thats not dandruff, its magic stuff that magic trees have 20:32, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know, it's a joke referencing the youtube video, runesuck -- 23:09, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * >.< Lol 16:56, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Change the title to "A magic tree gone bad!" or something like that. -- 19:26, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Wow... a tree. How glorious and fascinating. Woot. 08:30, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight Support - I hate how his hands look weird. One seems to be a lump of wood, and the other is hidden behind a bush. I do think that this image is funny, the way the tree looks like it's shouting and stuff. It made my day. 17:48, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Wow, a tree... 17:58, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Nothing really interesting about it. -- 20:54, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not much to this pic really. 21:31, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Maggie
Description: Maggie's camp near the Lengend Legend's Guild.

Reason: Good angle and, it's Maggie's camp and with the Oxen it looks lively.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 22:51, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight Support - I like everything but the player. The player is kinda annoying me. 22:59, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I like how colourful (is that the British spelling?) it is, and I was originally thinking about nominating the one with Hapi007 in Swept Away, this one, but found it to lack, but this one is just right. 23:03, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I like the purple. -- 01:51, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 60% Support - how about getting you user right besides the cauldron and then resting so it seems your user isn't there? 20:24, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great image :]. –and Swiz it's not her player, unless you are speaking to whoever's it is :/ 20:43, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice colors, and interesting pic. The player isn't that distracting, but if that could be emoted out (with eggty days emote) I'd support that too.  21:33, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Make-over Mage
Description: Don't be afraid, step in and come to the make-over mage!

Reason: I found this picture, really good in a way, the angle, and the setting.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 03:59, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The sheep don't look good in the photo since every single on has its back to the camera. 01:03, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Kinda boring and I don't like the sheep butt, lol. 21:34, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

2009 Christmas event
Description: Delicious food.

Reason: A feast with Santa in it. How much more cheerful can it get?

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. Scykei 05:40, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - No anti-aliasing, there are other people on it, Santa's a bit weird on it. 13:43, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - But change the image to something like, "A fabulous feast with even better food!" Or something like that. -- 15:39, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I actually thought about nominating this one, but then looked at it, and didn't like how much was here; this is a big mess. Bah, humbug!!! -- 17:31, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * If there are less players, I might support though-- 17:46, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I like it, it's a very happy image, with a nice festive theme  01:16, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - I like the feel of the image, but I think that it should have no players (to illustrate the event) or, what I would prefer, a whole load of players. That would make the image more lively, just like the events are. 17:54, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Per Porp. ---Jhanely 22:50, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 9 January 2010. 06:27, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Santa looks awkward, the other players are distracting, and the bottom right feels empty. -- 20:48, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This could use a good retake if possible. It needs better framing, AA, and less players, then it could be really good.  21:36, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

River Lum
Description: The bridge connecting what the Lum separated.

Reason: great detail on bridge and water.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 00:45, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It's a nice picture, godd quality, and the angle is OK. Good Job.  19:35, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's just a bridge...  01:18, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The angle is awkward, and it's not special. I like images that focus on something that everyone encounters every day and thus forgets, but this is just... A bridge. 17:55, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Oli, but as said, it's just a bridge, there nothing very special to it. ---Jhanely 22:51, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * support -But it's more than a bridge, it's the "lumbridge" over the "River Lum" in "lumbridge". Are you feeling the magic?? 18:59, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * You cannot support the same image twice. 06:27, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - This bridge is a very traditional and important part of Lumbridge and RuneScape itself!!! Gaga-Monster 01:34, December 31, 2009
 * Comment- Thank You Gaga Monster, for understanding that this is the FIRST bridge newbies see, it's the current login screen, and it SOUNDS Epic. What more could you ask for? 03:48, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination is extended by a week to 9 January 2010. 06:27, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's great quality, but there isn't much to see. -- 19:26, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not much going on and not much to see. 17:59, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It is a bit brown, and there's not much to see. We see that everyday after all. Additionally, we also have another similar picture of Lumbridge in nomination currently (Musician(3)), so I see no need to add a similar image that is lesser in quality.--Yojeez 22:30, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - While the pic is of good quality, this bridge is just too common to be featured in my opinion. 21:38, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Musician(3)
Description: A Musician, maybe the first one seen by new players. The first to be discovered by new players.

Reason: gives tranquil feeling.

Expiry:

14:03, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - As nom-nom-nominator. 01:04, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It's a nice calm picture of Lumbridge, even the awesome musical dude :P
 * Oppose - I hate the angle. The house makes people focus on one side of the image, which makes the subject fade away. 17:56, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I renamed this nomination to "Musician(3)" because we had another nomination called Lumbridge, and this is the third time a musician is nominated. 04:45, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Musician does not have the image ... oh, wait, it does now! -- 17:09, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 9 January 2010. 06:27, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support- A nice relaxing image of Lumbrige, its a great angle. I like it
 * EPIC Support! - OM NOM! I like it, it's great quality, and it's so peaceful. There aren't any players, and the shadows compliment it perfectly. -- 19:26, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The house takes up the entire left half of the screen, with the bad texture of the roof being very obvious imo. 04:15, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Snow globe
Description: The miniature castle of Lumbridge.

Reason: Minis are teh awsomez!

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 00:03, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - It's a cool image and all but I really don't think it represents what RuneScape has to offer, sorry. -- 03:22, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It was hard to find a good background, but I think it looks awesome. . 17:45, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I don't like the background, and it doesn't have that FIMG 'feel' to me. 17:59, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support -Looks great, and has a good background. To make me even more happy, mebbe cut it out?  Overall, looks great, and now I want to see the article in question-perfect! -- 19:46, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Finally something abstract for once. 21:20, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I think it's a very good image of the mini Lumbridge! I think it is to be worth featured.
 * Oh, sorry I forgot to sign last time Dx ---Jhanely 21:32, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 11 January 2010. 07:53, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Pith Helmet Guy. -- 19:26, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Per hapi007? 22:06, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what he meant. 17:51, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Dragon Slayer
Description: The ominous green room in the Dwarven mines.

Reason: The quality is great and the green makes it look overall great.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 18:14, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support - It's really cool, but its at a very awkward angle! Gaga xxx 21:18, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - That image is kind of bad in my opinion, the angle is kind of off, but I don't think there's anything special in it, glowing lights don't change my decision. ---Jhanely 22:54, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Dunno why, but I like the greenness of the image. 21:44, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Fantastic lighting and detail. 04:12, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 11 January 2010. 07:53, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Dunno why, but the greenness is calling to me. -- 19:26, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I don't like neon green and poo brown colours on the same image 22:08, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The angle is bad. Really, really bad. And we can see almost no details !--Yojeez 22:37, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I don't like the angle. Also, it looks just weird - with the corridor in the corner and stuff. 17:53, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - The greenness has an oddly creepy feeling about it. I like it.  18:02,
 * Oppose - If you could of got a closer shot, it would off been awesome, but for now it's too hard to see whats in the image 20:26, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Photo Booth
Description: The Magical Photo Booth outside of Falador. (Not descriptive enough) The Mystical Photo Booth, step right in.

Reason: I think it's a very good image, and looks special.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. -- 23:39, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral, leaning towards oppose - Meh, doesn't really need transparency -- 23:42, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * '?' What's that -- 23:49, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Better known as "whitebackgroundness" -- 02:26, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Or "checkerboards"  20:08, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - Looks great. :) Star Find 05:28, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support- Looks Good, but i'd look better with a the background. 18:43, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Transparency makes it look bad and it looks tilted. 21:38, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's okay. But I don't think anything is very special, but most of it is good, not quite on Support or Oppose. 08:22, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 11 January 2010. 07:53, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Awesomeness. -- 19:26, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - It's watching you! Mwuhahahaha! Per Scizor. 17:55, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Monastery
Description: The entrance to the holy, monk-filled Monastery.

Reason: It includes the happy musician, and the steps to enter the Monastery.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. ---Jhanely 20:43, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * pending/support - Good, but tilt the camera to the right a little. For now, this is a weak support -- 02:56, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * Slight Support - If you could get more of the monastry in, this would be perfect 20:33, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - Per all, almost a great image though. 16:29, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Pending - I like the image, the musician is great, but focus a bit more on the Monastary. We barely see any of it. -- 19:26, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It does not appeal as a great Screenshot to me, it seems bland. Not much happening besides th emusician. And the monostary, I would focus more on it. 08:27, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I don't like the monastery in the corner. It makes it look crowded, and the cut-off roof of the monastery looks weird. I really don't like it. 17:45, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination deadline extended to 12 January 2010. -- 01:55, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Even though there is a bit going on in it, I feel it is a bit blank in most of the photo. 03:11, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
