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.

How to vote

Reason: Has AA. Shows most aspects of the courtroom. Features a newly released DnD.

Expiry:
 * Support - As nominator. 12:40, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Interesting and a good angle. 12:53, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Looks cool, but I barely see the jury and the defender and that n00b are showing their backs. 12:56, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it'd look unnatural with the defender and the n00b facing the camera. O_o 01:42, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - The angle is quite interesting and you can see the the main part of the picture and the judge. 17:45, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Awesome angle. 20:20, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight support - would like it more if more of the jury was captured somehow. 01:42, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Keldagrim Palace
Description: An impressive dwarven structure standing in the heart of Keldagrim.

Reason: It is a prime example of dwarven architecture. Very detailed and imposing. The lighting is nice as well.

Expiry


 * Support - As nominator. 21:51, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Fail angle, ugly colors etc etc. --Coolnesse 23:47, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Looks cool, but the fog annoys me a lot. I don't hink it's a palace by the way, but the Trade Centre. 06:02, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - Per Cool. 20:20, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Looks ok and it has a good angle but thefogmaks it look plae which is what annoys me. 17:43, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

K'ril Tsutsaroth


Description: The most brutal general of Zamorak.

Reason: Great detail and angle.

Expiry:
 * Support - As nom. 18:54, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I agree on the detail, but the angle is hideous if you ask me. 18:56, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It looks good and the detail is quite good as well but the angle is really bad. 20:09, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great angle there. --Coolnesse 22:30, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - I personally think the angle is great, I also love the way his mouth seems to be open, as if he were roaring at someone or something. 22:38, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - He's firing his laser. -- 22:43, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Rofl! 11:24, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

00:14, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - The angle is great and I love the roaring pose but the colours are quite plain and I have seen much better pictures of K'ril. Fix the colours and you have my support


 * Support - I don't really like the angle or the open mouth, but the pros outweigh the cons. 00:13, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - The detail is great and the transparency was done very well, but I hate the angle. Of course, it may be a bit difficult to get him right when he wanders around (gosh that is annoying). Also, some body parts are hidden, such as his right "leg" and horn, which annoys me. This is more of a side view, but I'd like a ¾ view with Kal'Gerion Demons; between side- and front view, OK?  04:53, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Great picture but it's to evil and bad looking for a featured image in my opinion. 00:15, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't consider being too evil a criterion for a Featured Image. 17:29, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not the sort of picture i think that would go well on the main page, it's not very welcoming. 12:51, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Per smelly. Coelacanth0794 00:23, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline of nomination extended by a week to 18 June 2010. 04:24, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - The transparency of the wings is quite good. 16:15, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice image, nice colors, hawt transparency. -- 20:40, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Zammy GWD ftw 23:36, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - A well-done image. 01:46, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Bulwark beast


Description: A moss-covered Behemoth with some strong armour.

Reason: Well, there goes, buddy. Two behemoths unsuccesful, one more to go. I think that the detail is great and so is the angle. Dennis did a very nice job on the transparency! I like those block-thingies covering its body, along with the moss and its reddish belly. Its paws also look fantastic and the eyes look very menacing, the face being covered by those... plates... To summarise, I just like it a lot.

Expiry:


 * Support - As OMNOMNOMinator. 16:25, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - As much as I dislike having to oppose any image, this is too blocky for my likes. Sorry. Coelacanth0794 16:27, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Just a mass of rock. Just a mass of rock with a tail. 17:30, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * And what if I say that it's got a tail?  18:14, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose - per Chess 10:52, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * And what if I say that it's got a tail?  10:57, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you gonna do that to every opposers? O_O 12:30, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Only to the ones that agree with you.  17:16, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Reason: It has a good mix of colours and the plants make it look good.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 10:43, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I love the colours and the whole scenery; the flowers, wooden fences, people, especially the pond in the middle. 19:10, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It just looks wrong. --Coolnesse 20:12, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - It looks pretty nice. I like the balance, good detail, angle. 00:08, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Per Exsibilation, but I'd like the "people" to face the camera. Also, it needs AA. 13:07, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Kinda boring, basically it features a pond 10:03, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - Most of the Otherwordly beings are facing other places, there is something cut off at left, annoying colors, and a simply boring image. 11:09, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - Is this about the Otherworldly beings, or the puddle... and if anything its just (a corner of) Zanaris. 11:39, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It is cut off at the left and the only interesting thing is that monster thing. 16:18, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Yay, a pond and some strands of grass!  16:28, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 07:54, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Note - The previous discussion has been archived as the image was changed during the nomination. 05:42, June 7, 2010 (UTC)~
 * Strong support - What the--! Well, here we go again... >.< 12:49, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose - You messed up the colors way too much. --Coolnesse 20:20, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Transparency by me, look great.
 * Strong support - Coolnesse must be "off his head". I think the colours on this picture make it feel more electrifying and more exciting, plus the larger size and better transparency make my support into a strong one (TWSS) ;D 07:12, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Stong support - Per Gradius Pork-n-Duck 00:06, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * extreamly strong oppose- the hand ruins it, as do the feet. 3AF 00:39, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - Terri ble colors, the image isn't even good, legs look awful. Do you want any more reasons? 11:07, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hm... yes please.


 * Support - I like how the hand is all twisty. Coelacanth0794 01:34, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - It resembles the grim reaper and the the hand and legs make it look more "otherwordly". 16:12, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose - Where's its body? Head? Why is the arm messed up? Why are there 3 blocky fingers? What is up with his feet? 16:23, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Its body is in the middle, above the feet, which are those two long things at the bottom. The head is above the body and is covered my that hood. 17:19, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - It's limbs make me go "eh..." -- 20:40, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline of nomination extended by a week to 21 June 2010. 03:41, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
