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.
 * Anonymous user votes are generally disregarded as sockpuppet votes.
 * 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, 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.

 * Support - as Nominator. --Porp1 21:27, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I don't like the jagged edges and is kind of plain. 22:56, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Its tilted askew, the edges are quite jagged, and the colours aren't that interesting either.
 * Comment - Fixed most jagged edges; if theres anything else your magesties want to be done to support, hesitate to ask --Porp1 23:33, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * I would suggest you re-read the User treatment policy, as you seem to have forgotten some of it. 23:55, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * I was in a bad mood, and decided to make a cruel joke, I'll erase it, k? --Porp1 11:39, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Plain, un-detailed, poor quality.  22:29, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Bad quality. 06:39, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The image is being stretched to reach that size. Not good. 06:42, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Super truth serum
Description: A well zoomed image of a druid.

Reason: Shows a detailed scene of a druid handing a truth serum bottle, and in a way, is humorous.

Expiry:


 * Support - as Nominator. --Porp1 21:37, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This image doesn't stand out as featured quality to me, plus I don't get the humor. 22:56, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think its too cramped. Its not balanced well either. 23:06, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * It is possible to fix both of those problems since when I uploaded the image, I didn't crop it since I didn't know how to. This means that there is a massive version of the image if you want to try to crop it better yourself. 05:55, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * The problem is still present in that version though. All the subjects are clustered together with no space between, nor any around them either. Also the balance issue is with the massive brick wall and the considerably lighter fencing, rather than with how itw as cropped. 06:01, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Uninteresting, unhumourous, etc. As per Psycho and Tollerach.  22:31, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Uninteresting, doesn't stand out. 06:41, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Prifddinas
Description: The awesome gate of Prifddinas.

Reason: Even with the colors (white with others) not blending well, the shine of the gate, as well as the green and brown blending, it the WOW factor.

Expiry:


 * Support - as Nominator. --Porp1 21:27, November 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I don't like how the top of the gate is cut off. Everything is on the top leaving nothing much on the bottom. Also the guard is staring at a wall. It'd be a better image if he were facing the "camera". 21:34, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Just throwing this question out there, does it seem ok as a tiny thumbnail?--Porp1 21:46, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Even as a thumbnail, you can still see the top cut off and the bottom empty 21:49, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Don't we already have this? 21:47, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
