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.

Reason: I passed this image, and i liked it!

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] BAHJY1 talk [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] 13:41, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The gnome in the front is cut off by the thingy he's standing behind. The trees in the back look strange. 18:18, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - No faces? 22:38, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Super Oppose - Per all above me besides nom. The white fog/to be loaded in the back looks horrible, and I don't like how the flags are not symmetric o.o. 02:21, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - per rest

Warriors' Guild
Description: Where the land's mightiest warriors go.

Reason: Pure awesomeness. The building looks very impressive, but it doesn't dominate the image too much. The building fades out nicely (the walls don't go off screen, they blend in with the fog). It's just beautiful.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nom. 18:14, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - The colours aren't that great, the ground on the right is lower than the ground on the left, which makes it look uneven, and there's a tree on the left that looks like it's floating. -- 20:36, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Er... The ground is uneven. 21:24, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - This picture gives kind of an epic feeling! I really like how the building blends in with the fog, and its awesome design. 20:41, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose It is an okay pic, sure. But it took my week old laptop over a second to load. wtf? Can we trim it down so people with slower comps wont be lagged to hell on it?--Degenret01 20:48, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Erm, a second? Is that really important? This page took me like... 20 Seconds for me to load.. -- 03:35, February 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - I was like... What is that? Oh, cooool... -- 03:35, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * support best image i ever took, it gives the real feel of it -- 21:22, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * weak support - per deg 22:36, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The ground blended into the sky like 2 pieces of ground? Nah. The roof is a little odd as well. 02:23, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I think it looks pretty epic. - 14:53, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - While I do appreciate taking a good pic of this building, I just don't think the building itself looks all that good. 21:22, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Look a bit well um boring. It's not how the picture was taken but it is the subject just isn't quite good enough 02:44, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - its a bit.. umm... lumpy? 03:28, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - GR8! I like almost every picture of the front of a famous, big building 'taken' with the Orb of oculus.  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  08:23, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The grey in the background stands out when it really shouldn't. 09:32, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Candlelight (2)
Description:What a peaceful place to pray

Reason: all the amzing detail of the event to give new users a view of what it would of been like if they visited it today.

Expiry:


 * Support - it feels to me like a real church and it got it it detail and the rug is the cheery on the top -- 12:11, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Good detail sure, but I don't think there's anything that special, all of these colors against a grey/gray wall. . . 14:43, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - As per Missy -- [[File:Runecrafting.gif]] Kgomes  [[File:Farming.gif]] 14:46, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Question - Why not make better use of the original three shots? They were great! --TheLastWordSword 20:03, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Not very interesting IMO 20:51, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - As I've put it up on the Orb/Tips page, and it illustrates the power of the Orb to get great shots of otherwise inaccessible areas. =) --TheLastWordSword 16:15, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

P.S. Notice the misericordia in front of the pews! Excellent!

Commander Zilyana
Description: Commander Zilyana, commanding every movement.

Reason:: Very neat clean image, nice angle and overall very nicly done..

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 22:46, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support 22:55, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Week support - The body= yes; the face= no 02:33, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Week Oppose - it is just a bit boring 08:05, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The feet, face and wingslooks really dodgy. And she just doesn't have 'human' features very much. There needs to be a new descrip. 15:35, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - she is an Icyene, not a human 22:30, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I said human features, if you bothered to read the rest. 14:48, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * but what makes you think she should have human features? should toads, birds, and insects have human features also? 16:06, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * They should, and it would be fantastical, but that's not going to happen is it? End of discussion :]. 04:11, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Dragon scimitar
Description: A detailed view of a Dragon scimitar.

Reason:: Highly detailed, with excellent gamma and colouring.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nom. 22:35, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - What's gamma? :O -- 00:49, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's not really notable. It's only got one thing in the picture. I'd much rather have a featured picture that has multiple elements to it. 00:50, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very weak oppose - the image is great, like the handle detail, but the way jagex makes these weapons they are a discrace to the game. the pic is epic, what its a pic of... not so much. 01:01, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Just an item image, IMO it doesnt really show off the game graphics, too specific. 05:34, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Mobilising Armies
Description: The splendour of Lord Marshal Brogan's office.

Reason: The main reason I like this image is because of the variety of textures, ranging from the smooth sheen of the desk and the furry bear rug to the rough surface of the walls and the scaly dragon heads. It also has a very dignified air about it.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 01:07, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - The reasons you give pretty much sum up anything I could say about it. -- 03:53, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - I like the image, but not a fan of the size. It took at least a minute to load it on my phone. 02:26, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Tien and Camo 07:08, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice image, but if someone could crop the bottom of the image where you can slightly see the wall out it would be a lot better. 00:12, February 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's kinda boring. -- 20:12, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Dodgy physics if a chair can stably stand with 3 legs on the floor, one raised on a bearskin rug.  05:21, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I like it! It's totally not RS style, but I feel a nice atmosphere in the room. Although I don't feel anything at all. :P  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Please note that today (Valentine's Day) is the last vote day. Currently, most of the people support and so do I.  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * We don't count votes, we look at arguments.


 * Oppose - The cut-off walls make it look like something is missing. 19:39, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose + Comment - Good detail, but it's boring. A featured image is not just the detail, it has to be appealing. . . + (Comment) @ Fswe1, people can lookfor themselves, you don't have to keep a scoreboard. [And the nomination can be extended...] 20:58, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent Nomination deadline is extended one week to 21 February 2010. 01:54, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - It's hard to understand how it can be "boring", as we have TzHaar City and Elf Musician featured image, which I don't think there's a lot of action in it. Really, this image is very colorful, taken at a good angle, and is interesting (Flag, bear rug). As it is a very good image, I think it would be a very good FIMG.--Yojeez 02:06, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The bear skin just doesn't look right IMO. It's too cartoonish or something like that.  20:37, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - Very good picture, intresting and bright 02:44, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice thing - Extended again until 28 February 2010. -- 00:48, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Odd Old Man's hideout
Description: Where the Odd Old Man stores his bones. What could he be doing?

Reason: It's a very high quality image with a good angle thanks to the Orb of oculus.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nomnomnominator. 01:21, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It is grey and brown, and there isn't anything special 16:46, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's dull. It's boring. There are 2 huts. Amazing. [[File:Astral Rune.PNG]] Jhanely  [[File:Soul Rune.PNG]] 19:28, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - The detail is great. 20:55, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Oli, we need more "dead" images around here ! 07:09, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Just because it's a picture of something that's not exciting doesn't make it a dull picture. Lil cloud 9 07:32, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Where's the image? It mysteriously disappeared off my screen. 19:58, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, it appeared back. Wikia was probably lagging. 00:06, February 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - The house is very detailed, and looks pretty good overall. -- 20:12, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The colors are so dull. It really doesn't look like much.  07:48, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great detail, and I actually like the colours. -- 12:05, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too boring to be featured. --Liquidhelium 17:41, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice - Nomination extended by a week to 21 February 2010. 00:15, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's a great picture, with good angle and fascinating details. It's pretty boring though. Just two colours; gray and brownish. That's why I don't oppose or support.  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - To be fair, the Odd Old Man's hideout is supposed to be gloomy and spooky. I would love to see this same shot with the OOM in it, though. (Hint: hide behind a building!) --TheLastWordSword 20:12, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It is just to dark and not very interesting 02:44, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice - Nomination extended by a week to 28 February 2010. 08:54, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
