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.
 * 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.

Enchanted Valley
Description: A waterfall runs through the valley of the centaurs.

Reason: This picture shows superb textures, a much-underlooked area (renowned for it's beauty, hated for it's uselessness) and delicately creates an image of peace.

 * Support - As nominator
 * Support - Looks very nice, and nothing is too powerful in terms of eye catching, the image is viewed as one whole. 13:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I don't consider it beautiful. Maybe if JaGex updated the graphics. . 19:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid you lost me. The Waterfall (and water), trees (which are the same in Soul Wars), Bullrushes (which are the same near all lakes, rivers etc.) and the HD-exclusive overlaying Ground textures are'nt updated? I must be playing RSC.
 * The waterfall isn't updated, and that's the main thing this image shows. . 11:38, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Erm do you happen to remember what waterfalls USED to look like? Vertical rivers with some shimmery effect... 21:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice angle and good detail, but I think the proposed description is pretty cumbersome. Might I suggest "A waterfall runs through the valley of the Centaurs" or something similar? 19:38, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I wasn't very happy with the description and Reason - I had a bit of Writer's Block >_< I'll use your one - thanks :3
 * Support - Its a really nice picture about a waterfall that I don't even know the location of, nice job, however I will agree that the description could do with updating. 16:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I think this is a nice looking image. Too bad Jagex couldn't make this place a bit more useful.   20:06, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Fantabulous. 20:46, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Waterfalls are lovely! 21:03, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Ruins (west)
Description: A Player stands to face Wilderness Ruins.

Reason: A clear and very striking image with chilling beauty, the Wilderness has always had a stunning design. It's perfectly portrayed in these Ancient Zaros Ruins.

 * Support as nominator 07:15, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice, but maybe better without the player? 07:20, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - The brightness can be improved slightly. 13:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The focal point should be the Magic tree, but its off to the side. Its distracting and makes the image seem very imbalanced. 16:07, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too dark, nothing to see, player in the way, dead trees, random sparkly things to the left - per Psycho; the point of the picture should be the Mage Tree
 * Oppose - Per Req, as always :P 20:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
