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

Note to nominators

 * The description should describe the image itself, and not be biased.

Jaldraocht Pyramid
Description: A player exploring the top of the Jaldraocht Pyramid.

Reason: It's a nice image with a good angle showing a neat stucture.
 * Support - As nominator -- 20:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The angle is perfect, and the detail is nice, I like that pyramid! 23:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - No problems with the angle, but the pyramid looks a bit plain, and not much detail can actually be seen when it's at a small size. 07:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Neutral Support  - Its got perfect angle/detail but if the player was removed (thanksgiving emote) then it would make a wonderful image. 09:42, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I removed the player. -- 16:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Per Calebchiam. The image is also way to small, you can't see much detail...
 * He should revert to the other version of the image. 17:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The other revision is >1 MB, that's equivilant to several dozen very long pages. -- 02:24, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Pollnivneach
Description: A quiet desert town. Reason: Alot of high textures are shown in the picture, and it gives alot of insight to a much underlooked town. This image is extremely large, and best appreciated in detail.


 * Support - as nominator.
 * Support - I like that is focuses on the town and not on the non player characters. Perfect! 19:28, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I really like the image, looks real O_o 22:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The white of the buildings and the green of the cacti are really vibrant. -- 02:26, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Perfect view and perfect D/T. 08:19, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm using it as a wallpaper :$ Lol! 16:21, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hehe, I've been planning to make some Runescape wallpapers - I'll start now then, if someone's already using them :o

Air altar
Description: The altar where you craft air runes.

Reason: The angle shows a good view into the distance from the top of the altar.


 * Support - as nom: --Xianglung 23:29, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's nothing special, really. Not that pretty to look at. -- 23:35, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Angle and detail is perfect but it doesn't show anything, only some round clouds in the altar. 08:43, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Hum... Your kiding me rigth? 11:26, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Super Oppose - What... is it?
 * Oppose - Though I like the effect of the flowing trees . 18:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * MEGAZ0R Oppose - per all -.- 21:15, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Cap'n Arnav's Island
Description: Stuck on an island, in the middle of nowhere.

Reason: It's a peaceful environment, though it's a pain to get out of there.


 * Support - As nominator. . 19:07, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Get your character out of the picture >.< 19:14, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I realised that too, when I left the island. . 19:31, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Per Gragon, and what is there really to look out except a whitish blob with a tree?

Penguin Submarine
Description A player disguised as a penguin leaving the massive submarine.

Reason Shows the size of this submarine compared to the tiny penguin


 * Support - As nominator 11:43, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Description is too long. 10 words maximum. :) 11:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Nice detail but doesn't really show anything. 11:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - What one word out?? jeez. Fixed 11:50, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very nice i see the comparison of penguin to submerisible! 11:58, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Soft support - It's a nice image, though it's not very clear that it's a submarine. . 12:55, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Moo and Hapi
 * Oppose - Per Mo.
 * Support -This is a great quality image, nice and large, gives a great idea of what the sub looks like :)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination extended by a week to 16 August 2009. 08:27, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Varrock Sewers
Description The Varrock sewers, where giants and rats lay. Reason I happened to come across it and I thought it should be featured for its level of detail.


 * Support as nom. 13:07, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * SupportOppose: - I don't know... I think it's that glow in the liquid that makes it look so... real... Per Caleb, actually - and the torch in the top left-hand corner casts a square on the water making it look too patchy {{{Signatures/Requiem1160}}
 * Soft Support - Nice detail and glow feels nice. 19:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Most of the image is too dark, making the details hard to make out, especially when the image is at such a small size. 07:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It's dark, while the glow and torch brightens it up to give it balance. It also contains everything (skeleton, torch, rats, pipes, bodies, etc.)
 * Oppose - It lacks the "WOW!" Factor that a featured image should have. I don't want to see some dirty sewers in the main page, no offence :S 16:26, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - While it looks great when full sized, it is too cramped to make anything out when it is compressed. 11:37, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It shows nothing beautiful.


 * Notice of intent - Nomination extended by a week to 16 August 2009. 08:27, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Chaos Temple
Description: The Chaos Temple in all of it's glory.

Reason: Shows a detailed scene of a player praying near the chaos temple.
 * Support - as Nominator. 21:00, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Detail is nice, but needs a better angle 01:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The angle is fine now. 23:41, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I don't think the angle is bad at all, but ok... 02:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Very weak oppose - It looks wonderful but the angle...just a bit more down and its a support.
 * Support - Looks like the angle has changed, support now. 09:12, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I took almost an exact copy of the original, but I tilted the angle down. 08:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Wonderful detail, but it's way to bright for that environment and you are "BLUE AND RED ARMOUR" in the midst of the Gloomy Black background. I understand you are praying to the Altar, but try to either match the environment or just use the Thanksgiving Emote and snap a picture when you vanish.
 * Comment - The brightness is normal, I'm wearing zamorak god armour because it is a temple of zamorak, and me praying on the altar symbolizes the connection shared with zamorak, the armour, and the temple.
 * Oppose - As said, lots of detail. But it's mostly just stone, and there's not a lot of variety of colour or anything that makes it stand out. Basically, no wow factor. 07:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - A great picture, it's very detailed, which i think is good. 20:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination extended by a week to 16 August 2009. 08:27, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Brassica Prime
Description: All hail Brassica Prime!

Reason: It shows the size of the cabbage god compared to the player but the colours are a bit dull and dead. Old nomination - Found here.
 * Support Delisting - As nominator. -- 16:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Delisting - It's a pointless picture, it's just a huge cabbage and a player with some sparkles. >_>
 * Support Delisting - It should be removed from the featured images but not from the wiki, because it is a discontinued event. 17:06, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Delisting - Per Requiem and Gragon. --George10 98 04:36, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Delisting - Per Requiem, pointless image. 08:19, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * support delisting - Per all... and the player ruins it 08:32, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Just a note to you all. Most of the images here don't really have any point, featured images are chosen based on image quality. 08:40, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
