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.

Living rock patriarch
Description: The patriarch of the living rocks.

Reason: This is a great Npc image kinda looks like its punching.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 05:35, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - You see, I like the image, it has great detail and a nice angle, but the 'punch' you like so much makes his right 'arm' stand out and look very big, or very long and it's blocking the view a bit. Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  07:03, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - it looks like a cross between a toad and a mountain. 17:58, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice clear image showing a dangerous monster. 21:15, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Awesome image of an uncommon monster within the game. -- 22:30, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Good pose and lighting and very smooth transparency. -- 22:48, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Everything about the picture looks good; definitely deserves featured status. 00:30, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Out of original things to say. 06:39, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mega Support - The torch lighting shows off it's incredible features extremely well, and the monster is like none other. -- 16:10, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - A strong monster showing off it's strength. 22:09, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Sweet pose, it's like The Thing. - 11:20, March 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Great picture, the angle is epic. 15:01, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Lumbridge Catacombs
Description:What sinister beings lie below the quiet town of Lumbridge?

Reason:: Wonderful colour combinations, the entrance is centered perfectely, and it's AA. It has a backround, but it's nothing particular like an NPC, so it looks pretty good.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. -- 16:10, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - Ok, lemme get this straight... I took two Blood Pact images and both are nominated..? Okay, this one was replaed by Liii I I I's one, and Reese's Lair isn't nominated, but still! :P Anyway, I like the image (though mine was better :P), but I don't like the piece of roof to the right, the cut-off yew to the left and the change from grass to desert in the upper corners. And what is AA?  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  19:35, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * AA is anti-aliasing. 15:03, March 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - First of all, the angle is terrible. Also, I dont like the fact that the yew is cut off. 15:03, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The entrance isn't the best image of the quest... [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] BAHJY1 talk [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] 20:40, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Dragith Nurn
Description: The awakened corpse of a long dead necromancer.

Reason: It has great detail and an excellent view, and it shows interesting things, such as his mysterious staff, the blue ball of energy in his body (yay, particles!) and his mask, which is now available to players. Ow, and Blood Pact image are quite popular here. :P (click to enlarge)

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  16:06, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great angle, and it's cropped very well. 15:04, March 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - The best image of the blood pact ! [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] BAHJY1 talk [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] 20:40, March 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Photographic proof that Jagex's monster making skills are over 9000. -- 19:46, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hazelmere
Description: Hazelmere the ancient gnome reads the mind of the player character during The Eyes of Glouphrie.

Reason: Some quests are really neat in the ways they implement cutscenes, this one is no exception as the player is levitated above the ground and left helpless to an NPC's power. Also looks pretty cool.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 03:11, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Awesome detail and the colors are lovely. -- 12:16, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Your reason is totally correct, but I don't like the fact that the player is wielding a staff, which is dull brown, like the ladder, the net holders, etc. Further, I love the scenery, but because the focus is Hazelmere with the mind-ray (lol) and the player, it destracts me. How about the cut-off lamp to the right? It's a great image for the corresponding article, but not a image that is worthy to be featured on the main page, sorry. I hope you understand what I mean. 19:18, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Varrock West Bank
Description: Varrock's finest bank.

Reason: Image is very detailed, shows the majority of the bank, HD AA, etc etc.

Expiry:

  Fswe1    16:06, March 14, 2010 (UTC) P.S. Erm... if I wrote something that is not true, please tell me. Thank you!   Fswe1    05:46, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - As nom. --Coolnesse 19:33, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Your nomination doesn not count until you gave a description and a reason. You must also write 'Support as nominator [signature]' to complete your nomination. Please do this as fast as possible, thank you (I will support/oppose when you did that).
 * Hai lo, I was just waiting for User:Iiii I I I to nominate it. --Coolnesse 19:33, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak support - Nothing much in this picture, but the angle is ridiculously epic. 19:48, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It has good detail, but I just utterly dislike how the lights are 'floating' atop. Would be better if the cieling could be shown. 20:22, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a nice picture with great detail and a nice angle, but the lamps above are gold and brown, just like everything down, making it look like a mess.  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  05:49, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The hovering lights ruin the photo for me. 06:33, March 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - The image appears to be perfectly positioned, so that you can very barely see that the lights are hanging from something other than the ceiling. THe colour combos are simply astounding, with the Gold showing off everything else. -- 16:10, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The image looks odd. 20:34, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * support - My Image Lol, it not aa by the way, cant afford a new graphic card , so it normal, but looks aa -- 21:27, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Support - A weird place to take picture of, but as Tien stated, great angle. 14:58, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - A bank to be featured ??? I know the image is good, but not much to be featured [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] BAHJY1 talk [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] 20:40, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 28 March 2010. 08:10, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

The Blood Pact
Description: A dark cult lurks beneath Lumbridge ....

Reason: Great shades of red that stand out in the shadowy background. I also like the way the picture is "stopped in motion". It's also very mysterious, and catch the interest. Even if the little torch is bugging me on the top-left, I believe this should be a FIMG. I think we should also have more featured quest images, because they cannot be seen a second time.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. Yojeez 22:32, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Between medium and strong support - Erm... I took the image myself yesterday and it's already nominated! XD Anyway, I like your my pic, but I remember quickly clicking Prt Scr Sys Rq when the cutscene was already fading away, so it's a bit dark. But the torch you mentioned looks good with that darkness. Just like their clothes and plot; so Zamorakian! :) Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  06:58, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too small, nothing to see except a couple of npcs. Maybe if they were shown somewhere a little brighter doing something other than standing still. 21:14, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * You probably haven't noticed, but Reese and Caitlin (and thus Ilona) are walking. ;) Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  06:57, March 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong support - its awsome 22:41, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - It truly shows what a dark and mysterious land runescape is as well as the typical situation of the damsel in distress needing to be rescued, I love it Fury 133 08:30, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a might too dark and gloomy in there, and it doesn't really have enough detail. -- 16:10, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - per Scizor 00:35, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Sciz. 22:07, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
