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 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.

Gu'Tanoth
Description: The capital city of the Ogres. Gu'Tanoth!

Reason: Shows a great caption of the city Gu'Tanoth, the ogres and the surroundings.


 * Support As nominator, great picture! 15:49, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Support It's a really nice picture, but it's also quite boring - there's nothing happening besides some ogres waving their arms Requiem1160 18:12, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I'm going to be completely honest here: we need some more pictures of different races across RuneScape (aside from some Humans in most of our featured images, the Goblins in the Chosen Commander Image, and various enemies throughout many of our screens, we lack different races) This is the first time that the Ogres have been nominated in any form. That aside, the graphics, scenery, and character models look great as well. -- 16:25, 1 May 2009 (UTC) 14:31, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Good picture, very detailed. (As a side note - that ogre chieftan seems to be using what looks very much like a skull sceptre!) 19:49, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - This pic shows off the ogre graphics update nicely.  23:09, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

The Destruction Avatar
Description: ''The Ultimate Battle for the Powerful Destruction Avatar has ended.  Reason: This picture shows the calamity that is Soul Wars and the Death of one the Avatars. It's similar to the 'Battle for the Creation Avatar', and is a rather clear picture, and has excellent textures viewed. ''

Support as nominator Requiem1160 13:50, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Slight Support - I like the image, but I don't really like all the prayer icons, damage splats, or the health bars. 13:55, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Comment Re-uploaded: I removed all the Health Splats and the Prayer bobbles. I couldn't remove the Prayer from Melee one, however. Requiem1160 13:03, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Slight support I really think this is a nice image. It is also well timed as the avatar seems to be calling out to the heavens as he's dying. The reason my support is only slight is because we already have 2 soul wars images featured and already one of the avatar of destruction. I'm ok with this one replacing the other. My point is, there are a lot of other areas besides soul wars with great photo opportunities. 18:25, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Support - The image has great detail, and shows a great image of a high leveled monster falling to the ground. 22:38, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Don't we already have an Avatar of Destruction image being featured...? Why do we need 2? 12:43, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Evil elder tree
Original image: Evil elder tree. Description: Showing the real spirit of woodcutting. Reason: It is a well taken sceenshot and it is clear on png file and on HD.


 * Support as nominator-- 14:09, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose It's an animation.--. 17:39, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm thinking you might have wanted to post the PNG instead? 18:26, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose The file size is too large. It should be less than 100kB and instead it's almost 1500kB. [[Image:Hunter.gif]]Nuclear X2 21:19, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

GWD Comparisions
Description: Comparing the old and new Runescape. Reason: It makes you remember how bad the old Runescape was, comparing it with the new one.


 * Support as nominator--12:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Black Knight's Fortress

 * Support as nominator: So far we don't have any pictures of the black knight's fortress so I thought that it would be nice to have one. -- [[Image:Disk of returning.PNG]] Malcolm33 [[Image:Disk of returning.PNG]] 16:48, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Relaxing Old Man
]

Description: Wise Old Man relaxing in the quest As A First Resort...

Reason: Shows the Old Man in his boxers.

Avatar of Creation
Original image: Image:Battle for the Avatar of Creation.PNG

Description: A calm picture of the Avatar of Creation at Soul Wars. Reason: Re-uploaded a whole new picture as someone said that the old one is too cluttered.


 * Support as nominator: Replaced the image for a more 'calm' look on the Creation Avatar Requiem1160 15:08, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose replacement: with the same angle can be ok. --Dindirindin 16:21, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: It took along time to get the avatar in the camera focus, and in the other picture he's dieing/attacking - this was taken in a Tie World where no one is allowed near the opposing team's avatar
 * Comment: This is why the other image description is battle for the avatar of creation, because is a battle, not a image of the avatar.--Dindirindin 18:25, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - This image is not used in mainspace. Please ensure this image is used in an article. 09:27, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Added this picture to an article. Requiem1160 11:27, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is a great pic and I bet it took some time to capture, but the other pic is also very nice, so I'm neutral. 23:09, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
