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
See the following example:

Example
Description: A description for the image. Maximum 10 words long.

Reason: Provide a valid reason for nomination.

Note to nominators

 * The description should describe the image itself, and not be biased.
 * Be creative. Description such as "A picture of..." is not acceptable.
 * Try not to use superlatives (such as "most", "greatest", "best", etc.).
 * Please make sure the image is used in the mainspace before nominating.
 * Nominations without a valid reason and description will not be accepted.

Spirit Beast
Description - A big, ethereal beast (trapped in some sort of barrier).

Reason - Very nice image as shown. Should deserve the place. User:Kalindrum forgot to sign this comment 15:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC) Oppose - It looks plain bad. 20:58, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I really, really don't like the angle, here... it looks kinda like a muddle of limbs since it's all the same colour. You just don't get the whole "RAWR I'm a big monster and I'm going to blast you into oblivion" feeling with this shot; a feeling that SHOULD be here. -- 13:02, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This could be so much more epic with the right angle... shame really. 13:09, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Like said by the 2 guys before me, not the right angle. 17:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Even if it was at the right angle, it's just so gray and... dead... -- 16:37, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Mogre Camp
Description - The habitat of the mogres. Here be fishies!

Reason - High detailed & colorfull image of the coral reef in the sea.
 * Support - As nominator. 22:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Wonder, Bright Colourful picture, which deseves a place on the front page 08:29, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Wow. This picture captures one of the most interesting and overlooked (literally) views of RuneScape: Under the sea. It's colour, and it has fish swimming freely... I like this alot. -- 13:02, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Best FIMG nomination yet. 13:09, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it sure is something. It looks like a still out of one of those aquatic screensavers. -- 13:19, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ha, it does too. Awesome. 15:50, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - This could easily be one of the best images on the wiki, even among the other featured images. Amazing image. 15:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - Cool image, the best I ever seen in wiki. It looks almost like real reef!
 * Support - That is an awesome picture. It doesn't look like rs, more like some super computer game. Excellent image Elf.15:03, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It shows off a completely different area of rs which you don't often see. Thanks Elf, it looks amazing. CFLM ( Talk ) 16:04, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Is that really RuneScape? :O 17:09, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * When I saw the Thumbnail, that was my thought - it's brilliant.


 * Whoa this is truly awesome, I never knew Runescapes graphics could be that good.

Inside Penguin Submarine from Hunt for Red Raktuber
Description - Penguins are going to take the world using this submarine!

Reason - Very colorful picture, showing in detail the inside of a very nice addition to the game.


 * Support - as nominator --Gragon 126 15:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - It doesn't have that WOW factor and also it really doesn't show anything. 08:37, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Per Kalin, and it's a very bland picture. It's got some blue and and some wood and some metal pieces - very boring and un-interesting. 15:51, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Requiem -- 16:42, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Killerwatt Plane
Description - Typical British weather (joke) The Killerwatts in their plane.

Reason - Nice picture. Showing a place that is usually in the back of people's mind, rarely visited.


 * Support - as nominator. Oh, by the way I have done my best to hide my player.16:35, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's rather dull and uninteresting. Just doesn't put you in a great mood... -- 16:42, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Enigma, It's rather Grey and Sad . 20:09, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Hey you're improving Joe =) The image quality is good, but it's just a bit uhh.. dull. Not your fault :P It's very nice for the article itself tho! 20:55, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Lonely Elfess
Description - A lonely musician plays her Crystal Ocarina amongst the Isafdarian landscape. Reason - Shows off some very nice textures of a recent update, and a beautiful Elfess and her delicately made Crystal Ocarina. (The Image is rather large, and best appreciated in detail.)
 * Support - as nom. 21:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - She's to lonely. =S 21:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The area is beautiful. Can't get enough of the Elven lands. ;) Cheekun 05:48, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ;_; - I decided to keep her lonely because I wanted to keep the quietness of Isafdar and the peace of it too - should I retake it with a few friends in the picture? 21:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Guy the Ghost
Description - The eerie ghost of Guy, swung from the gallows for telling a lie. Reason - The dark lighting and the presence of the ghost gives off a "scary" nature to the scene, and is difficult to catch in a screenshot as well.
 * Support - as nominator.--Xianglung 01:11, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Óppose - Too dark to see a thing, also needs to be cropped. 01:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - As Muzzy34 said, it is too dark. Doesn´t show anything interesting.--Gragon 126 05:49, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
