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.

Rammernaut
Description: Rammernaut Hoskins, head of the elite Rammernaut Guard.

Reason: Image is detailed, transparency is great, and he looks awesome in that posture.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 02:54, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - SuperMegaUltraEpicFantasticAwesomeGreatMarvellousBrilliant-like angle, but the 'hands' are a bit awkward. And why is the transparent background black? White'd look better.  11:42, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great image. 14:11, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Just an ugly creature. 15:35, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Great image, but miles too dark. 02:56, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Evil 13:24, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - Too dark to see the real detail to the image 14:30, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Poor lighting, very ugly, etc. 20:27, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Lighting is terrible, not the greatest angle. 20:35, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Yes, I agree the lighting is terrible. In addition, it's too small and gloomy. 11:13, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I love his angryface look and intimidation. also, please change the description to "Vandalise the RuneScape Wiki, and this banhammer will OWN YOU!"  03:40, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Har'Lakk the Riftsplitter
Description: A general of the Kal'Gerion army.

Reason: Detailed image, as well as interesting to see a unique coloured demon.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nom. 13:02, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Great detail, less great angle.  13:21, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - All of the Kal'Gerion images look awesome. 14:18, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per nom. 15:35, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Somewhere along the way this got anti-aliased and then transparent-ified poorly. I'd be happy to add anti-aliased transparency if someone had the non-transparent image to post. 08:45, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - why do demons have wings? they are far too fat to fly. other then that well... hes purple... and spikey.. and just ugly o.o 13:42, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * ROFL(copters)! 14:29, May 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose & Comment - I just dont find this to be the "Best" of these Kal'Gerion demons... If we are going to feature one, it should really be Bal'lak the Pummeller or the original design of K'ril Tsutsaroth. Mainly due to the fact that they hold weapons which makes the image more fearsome and interesting. 14:30, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - He's a cool demon, but I don't like the angle at all. 20:36, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong support - Some lighting which balances the transparency; then an epic purple demon with horns. 11:17, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Haloolah. 03:43, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's too dark to see anything. 20:21, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Battle at Orks Rift
Description: The Fairy Godfather's army of orks, ready for battle at the Orks Rift.

Reason: The orks look awesome, pretty similar to File:Goblin village gathering.png, with the Fairy Godfather and the rift in the background and cool Bandosian symbols. The only reason to oppose I could think of is that annoying minimap and the talking Tooth Fairy. Too bad Fat Rocco and Slim Louie aren't there.

Expiry:


 * Medium Support - As nominator (minimap). 17:20, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - Nowai. It has a minimap on the right top corner. It has "walk here" on left top corner. It has someone talking and lots of buttons on the left bottom corner. Teh orks are simply ugly.
 * Strong Oppose - Hell no. Per Chessmaster. 12:40, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Chess 13:25, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Extreme Oppose - Im sorry, Featured images should atleast pass the simple guidelines... If there was no minimap, no walk here comment and no chat box... I would easily change this into a support... Featured images should contain quality 14:26, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose - Per all. 20:19, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - We need something that focuses solely on the scene. The chatbox, minimap, etc are extremely distracting. 20:27, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I can't say it better than what Liquidhelium said.  20:37, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - KK, I get the point: ^@!*%^*@#!$% minimap. Could somebody please close this nomination early? No way this passes anyway.  16:14, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * strong oppose - chatbox,text in corner,stats and map, it all ruins it, i say remove that and it may have a chance :)-- 07:31, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose - The horrible chatbox in the corner, oh make it stop 18:18, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Fairy Queen
Description: A grand and regal ruler.

Reason: Very detailed, looks good.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 13:34, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Simply awesome. 13:35, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - Terrible detail, I couldn't find her face, it was THAT bad 14:25, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - Da deetale be grate, but da leftern wings be darker than the other ones witch is weerd. Then, it's not very interesting; just a fairy with new looks. 14:32, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per XxXxGradiusheroxXxX. She looks creepy. 20:24, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This is too zoomed in, so it's extremely plain and poorly detailed. 20:27, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - She looks like an extremely creepy butterfly. 20:37, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Incredible Support - Epically graphical picture containing a nice small fairy. 11:19, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - She looks like a nice lady. :) 03:44, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Can't find the skin/face. 18:28, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I see what you guys mean when you say you cannot see the skin. I use the Carbon theme which makes it easy to see. See here:  16:59, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Law altar
Description: The scales of justice decorate the source of law runes.

Reason: This picture's angle solves the issues I had with the previous nomination. It is high quality and captures a feeling of mystical uncertainty and power.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 02:56, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose - Sorry, but the image is pretty much horrible. The lighting is good, but the image is huge, offcentered, awkward, and simply boring. 03:02, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not symetrical, the not-showing-anything-special part from the left of the image is just...Terrible. And the dark fog doesn't help at all, but ruin the image. Sorry. 10:27, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Just a little note: there is no fog in this image whatsoever. Any image of the law altar that is brighter than this has been edited in an image editor. Images definitely do not look best when symmetrical, and I intended to show the law scale design on the floor. 21:59, May 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Amazing image, Just doesn't feel like it should be featured... It lacks that "Wow" factor. 15:55, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - (I will "vote" on the previous image, not the recently cropped one) I can't say the angle is a lot better than the other nomination, bu you can see a bit more of the symbol which is nice. It is, however, not very symmetrical. 16:50, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - This image is much better than the last one. The angle is superior. --Coolnesse 21:50, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - Terrible angle. 13:27, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - cuz ribbles took it@@@ -- 19:41, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - You stole my description! D: 02:04, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * oppose - dont like the light =/ normally like blue sorry.
 * Notice of intent - Deadline extended until May 24, 2010. 01:31, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I feel that it is too dark, and doesn't have enough balance.  20:39, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I like it Per all. Riblet provided nice reasoning, and the description tops it off.  03:51, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - I was pretty sure I opposed a picture of the law altar earlier, and this image looks even worse. Off-centered, can't really see any details, horrible angle, ughhh. 18:26, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Daemonheim boat
Description: The last journey home from Daemonheim

Reason: I think that the image is really well angled and the use of fog is usually frowned upon... But in my opinion, could easily be considered one of the greatest parts of this image. It gives a feeling of mystery and unknown to the lands of Daemonheim and the fear that it spreads.

Expiry:


 * Strong Support - As the nominator 20:17, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's kind of... lacking. The foreground... Ugh! I can't look at it anymore! --Coolnesse 20:22, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The fog ruins it. It's near impossible to see anything. 20:23, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's the whole point of the image. 15:15, May 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Personally I find the fog gives it a mysterious air. Coelacanth0794 22:04, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - The fog makes it cool and mysterious, which I like, but it was a bit empty and grey so I was going to weak-support, but I then saw that it needs AA and the water just quits in an awkward way, so I'm neutral. Law Rune.PNGce rules!Guthix logo.svg 12:32, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - Per nom. 15:15, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Love the fog, not strong support per Fswe1. 20:30, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * oppose - just nothing special. its a boat. on water. with fog.  13:37, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline extended until May 24, 2010. 01:31, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Coolnesse has a point, it also seems weigh to heavily weighted on the left side.  20:40, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Wonderful mystery. 03:49, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I like this shot with the fog and mystery, goes well with the theme of Daemonheim. 18:24, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Daemonheim (2)
Description: Daemonheim awaits, but are you ready for it?

Reason: AA, no fog to ruin it,nice view, cant see anything wrong with it.

Expiry:

Previous (1st) nomination: RuneScape:Featured images/archive13


 * Support - As nominator. 19:10, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I like this image, because it is very clear and it shows the general structure of Daemonheim. 19:54, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - 20:11, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's too far zoomed out to see anything clearly, and the snow makes everything look fuzzy. Furthermore, the subject itself is of a broken down castle, something I'm not fond of. 20:13, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks great. --Coolnesse 21:49, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I think Fswe nominated this picture already. 23:07, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yup, I also took the image myself, but it didn't go through, so I feel honoured. Probably because Parsonsda commented on my "pictures with great angles".  12:24, May 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - No need to explain it again, right? (see above) 12:24, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - Per Helm. 15:14, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Other than the fog, there's nothing wrong with it. (I don't mind the boxes anymore...). 20:29, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * @@@ - @@@@@, @@@@@@@ @@ @@ @@@@. -- 01:34, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * ^ What my typing-illiterate friend is trying to say is that he extended to deadline to May 24, 2010. 01:36, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol! 20:21, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would have extended it myself when I extended the two nominations above and saved 3i+1 the trouble of typing 23 '@'s, but it had 5 supports, 2 opposes, and I'm one of the opposers. <.< 20:23, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - It's foggy, and not real awe inspiring.  20:42, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too many layers, making it too hectic. 06:20, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Weird, straight fog at the top, and the left-foreground ruins it - no symmetry. 03:48, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Don't know why this suggested a 2nd time, but still doesn't have that 'soothing' look 18:22, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Saradomin owl
Description: A cute bird.

Reason: The colours are great and the detail is nice.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nom. 18:39, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose bird, support owl - This is a Saradomin bird, not a Saradomin owl. I'd support a Saradomin owl, but not the bird. 18:44, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Urr... I thought it was Sara bird = Sara owl and the article says the same. 18:50, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope. The Saradomin bird is the second growth stage, and the Saradomin owl is the third (and final) growth stage. Trust me, I've raised a Saradomin owl and still have it. This is a Saradomin owl. 18:52, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * This image looks way better than that though o_O 18:54, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded a new owl image. 19:20, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Still terrible

quality imo, but a good images anyways. 20:41, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * neutral: its really nice, love the feathers, the color, etc, but its just a bird <.> not feature image
 * Weak support Cute. (still a bit angular) You should make the description a bit longer though (Something like: A cute bird that follows Saradomin. No, wait, that's nubbish.) and change the name to Bird instead of Owl.  12:58, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - Too angular, plus, I don't like the view of the bird we currently have, I would personally prefer a front elevation. 19:47, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - The feathers look too fake. 14:24, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Pretty, but not quite what I would like to see here.  20:27, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination deadline extended until May 25, 2010. 02:07, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - Not saying any WOW! to me. --Coolnesse 19:40, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Mugshot ftl? Show me a Saradomin bird with it's wings flapping, ready to fly, then I'll support. Needs moar action. 03:46, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Ew, I can't even see the face of the bird, just a big...giant...wing? 18:20, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Al Kharid palace
Description: A beautifically decorated building with exquisite taste.

Reason: There is excellent use of lighting, symmetry and a large variety of colours in this image, all of which will catch the reader's eye and captivate them. It is of very high quality, and the image is interesting in many aspects.

Expiry:


 * Support - as nom. 07:22, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - The image would be better without that NPC there. Still, its symmetry is awesome. 08:41, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Very colourful, and the NCP brings life to the image; this isn't DeadScape.... yet.... (>.> at Lucien) 10:10, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great colours and symmetry. The "piece of outside" and "another room" doesn't even matter. And, uhm... I took the image myself.   Do you know how annoying it was to wait for Hassan to pose nice and that stupid warrior to leave?   13:01, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - The symettry is good, but the colours are ugly. 14:28, May 12, 2010 (UTC) Changed to Oppose per riblet.  13:28, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - A rather nice and vibrant picture with good symmetry. JX Blue Talk 14:36, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The colors feel unnaturally vibrant. This particularly applies to the poles in the foreground and the sand in the back corner. Also, what's being shown in the windows? It almost looks like the horizon, which doesn't really make any sense. :p 22:02, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - per riblet. 22:18, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral, Leaning towards oppose - Took a while of looking to get a strong idea... I just don't like the NPC standing in the middle 19:47, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think we have enough FIMG's of Al Kharid already. It's not the only area of RS that produces high quality images. 02:06, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight oppose - Per Riblet15. 14:22, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not the best angle, hard to see. 20:31, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight oppose - The image is not balanced a little bit. 11:11, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Extended until 26 May 2010. -- 21:31, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - What's wrong with it? --Coolnesse 21:58, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's slightly uncentered, per Liquidhelium. 03:45, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Fight Arena Bar
Description: The 'nicest' place you've ever been to.

Reason: Detailed. I like it too much.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. --Coolnesse 00:22, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral, leaning towards support - It's a nice image, I like the food. The detail is simply great, but there's a head chopped off in the bottom, half an imp on the left side and guards showing their backs. There's also a big piece of grass in the right top corner, which doesn't go with the room itself.  06:54, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - The detail is simply awesome, but there is loads of things that are cut-off in there. 13:30, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose- This image doesn't look very different from just another bar to me. If it was better cropped and angled it might be different, but as is it looks pretty boring. I also don't think the description is very informative. Skel X 16:37, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - There is nothing special about this image, and the lighting isn't very good. 21:40, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose - I just don't find this exciting at all... 19:47, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - I like the food, but the rest of the image lacks excitement. Also, the cut off guy at the bottom ruins it for me. 14:21, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Zap. 13:34, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * strong support - ok, theres the cut-off wall, the cut off guy,etc but u dont notice any of that.. at least i didnt, i had to look to find what ppl are talking about, so i dont consider it a major problem. as for the food, its awsome. 13:39, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose It's not the greatest angle or lighting. 20:32, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight support - The food has it's graphics, too! 11:12, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's not something I'd like to see on the main page. Per all. 03:35, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline of nomination extended by a week to 27 May 2010. 09:21, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Zanaris
Description: The colorful, cheery home of the fairies and other mystical creatures.

Reason: A masterful work of art and most definitely new and beautiful territory for all of RuneScape that everyone should see.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 02:42, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - I really seemed to struggle making a decision here... I love the quality and the "Wow" factor is certainly there... But the awkward angle of the small house thing in the middle just hurts it HARD for me... It would be nicer if the sheep was also facing towards the house/camera, I would easily support a lower angle, so the detail of the house can be seen more clearly 19:47, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral, leaning toward support - Per above. 20:33, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - love the green. is gradiushero's signature here for some reason? doesnt look like its connected to a comment. 23:50, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - It was originally by my comment, I think that the above neutral comment may of been incorrectly entered in between my comment and signature


 * Neutral - Jagex has given us some great graphics to look at, but this image just doesn't make me feel 'Wow, great!', see? 11:39, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Teh sheep ruins da image. 15:35, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - Per Gradius. 16:46, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice image! 20:27, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I like the house, the rest of it somewhat ruins the image.  20:34, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - In my opinion, Zanaris deserves more of a landscape-ground view; not an aerial view.
 * Oppose - If I saw this picture, I wouldn't even be able to say it's Zanaris. This picture doesn't really capture the beauty of the new place that probably took developers weeks to revamp. 18:31, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline of nomination extended by a week to 28 May 2010. 09:56, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Baby blue dragon


Reason: This picture is not very detailed. The eyes are especially lacking, since they are just splotches of red. This image looks fuzzy from afar, and weird up close. It is not good enough to be a FIMG.

Original nomination: RuneScape:Featured images/archive1

Support - Per Liquid, and also it has bad transparency around the edges 16:48, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - As nominator. 14:11, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - It has good detail, but lacks everything else. It's an image from the first archive, where even images from the KB were featured... this is definitely not as good as FIMG's now. 14:38, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
