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.

Nominating
Note: The following steps have not been finalised through consensus. Please discuss this below.


 * 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
Note: The following criteria have not been finalised through consensus. Please discuss this below.


 * 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 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.

No reason given.


 * This nomination was made by User:Burnanddie93
 * Comment - I resized the file so that it would fit the image guidelines for the main page. 16:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - He looks more like a small dog that the level 702 Jad I know. Some concept art would be a little refreshig.  17:48, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - If it's possible to nominate images outside game client, then yes. Would make a nice image to the main page. 16:23, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Great Picture. Great Detail.

Baby dragon (pet)
Your very own pet dragon.

This is good image of a high level reward from a difficult skill to train. Summoning allows you to have familiars and pets, but only the elite (1,400 or so) have the level 99 required to have one of these guys following you around. I think this image will generate a lot of interest about pets, summoning, and dragons.

 * Support - It's sooo cute ^^ --80.100.99.192 10:42, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Guthix
'' The best god in runescape. The god of balance and nature.''

Behold! The great and mighty GUTHIX.


 * Support - I, Lewislew, nominated this picture. 17:07 21 march 2009 (UCT).
 * Support - This is a nice image. I resized it to go along with the criteria.  Also I don't think we should call him the best god in RS.  How about "The god of balance and nature"  18:09, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - The description given is inappropriate, and has been changed accordingly.  18:41, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Guthix ftw =P. C0smic 17:59, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Bandos avatar
The High Priest Goblin under the control of Bandos.

What a cool creature, no?(I think it's need resize to be Featured)


 * Support - As nominator. 14:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Interesting monster, as it's actually an avatar of a god. Pretty dull god, I must say. Nonetheless good image.
 * PS. It has to be resized, as your image has 261/200px height. The width must be set to 153px. (Image on right side)
 * I changed your signature into a template. There's something wrong in your preferences. 16:43, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Brimhaven Dungeon Entrance
The legendary stairway leading down to the brimhaven dungeon

Support: 1

Neutral:

Oppose: 1


 * Support - As nominator. As part of my plan to integrate images showing off Runescape's graphics engine, I have uploaded a few high resolution images across the wiki in places needing images. Rest assured the file sizes are as compact as can be and do not hold up the load times of pages. They are also capable of loading very quickly in a frame as is the goal in the featured image template. 09:04, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Pretty unclear as a thumb, too large in a frame. Also a GIF image. The small version just doesn't look good in my opinion. 16:38, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Nomination for delisting
None so far.

Template
EDIT: Earlier commented out; see my next message. 17:28, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Is this template used for nominating? I think it is better if the Featuredimages template only be edited by admins for the moment. 10:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The Template:Featuredimage's source code was very messy a while ago (massive amount of image options), so this was created to clean up the page. As it only includes a few different images now, I think it's obsolete. And nomination template is unneeded in my opinion. 17:28, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
