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.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 00:03, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - It's a cool image and all but I really don't think it represents what RuneScape has to offer, sorry. -- 03:22, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It was hard to find a good background, but I think it looks awesome. . 17:45, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I don't like the background, and it doesn't have that FIMG 'feel' to me. 17:59, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support -Looks great, and has a good background. To make me even more happy, mebbe cut it out?  Overall, looks great, and now I want to see the article in question-perfect! -- 19:46, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Finally something abstract for once. 21:20, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I think it's a very good image of the mini Lumbridge! I think it is to be worth featured.
 * Oh, sorry I forgot to sign last time Dx ---Jhanely 21:32, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Fremennik Isles
Description: The first spot a player visit at the "JayNay" islands. The docks at Rellekka Jatizso.

Reason: good detail with dock, water and boat;.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 23:40, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Love the image, but the player has to be abducted before I can give a full support. 01:20, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Looks too gray and dull. No offense Porp, but why don't you just carefully look for really good images in the wiki that meet the quality standards of a featured image? (Instead of mass-nominating pictures, like you did). I know it sounds a bit rude, but that's my suggestion.  01:26, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, images go through a long process in my head before nominating them; I think about what you guys might say, and there are TONS of rejects; some are A, B, and C. This image I happened to like, and wasn't the least bit iffy about. To me it wasn't dull and gray, but vivid sapphire with a thin gray strip, but the stripe is full of memory. So that is all from me -- 02:16, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think the brown and blue blend in a bit too well, which makes the grey strip look very strange... I just don't like this image. 18:00, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I love this image! I think it's really great in some ways, and I like how it's not just a dock and a boat, while there's a player there :p ---Jhanely 22:53, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It shows nothing spectacular. . 16:57, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support- It does have some weird effect on the mind. 18:48, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I really like this image, but the player ruins it, the red stood out too much from the scenery, maybe wear grey and try get a shot with a lower angle. 12:22, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - There's nothing special, taken from a bad angle, and the player ruins it. A FIMG should be colorful, impressive, and show something that you rarely see. Not just a dull, gray port.--Yojeez 20:08, December 30, 2009 (UTC) 20:07, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Again, nothing really special here. And I am inclined to agree with Gragon... 17:23, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Dragon Slayer
Description: The ominous green room in the Dwarven mines.

Reason: The quality is great and the green makes it look overall great.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 18:14, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support - It's really cool, but its at a very awkward angle! Gaga xxx 21:18, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - That image is kind of bad in my opinion, the angle is kind of off, but I don't think there's anything special in it, glowing lights don't change my decision. ---Jhanely 22:54, December 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - Dunno why, but I like the greenness of the image. 21:44, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Reason: It's sexy as hell.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. Gaga xxx 21:15, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a bad angle. Nothing really noteworthy going on in this picture. Doesn't really deserve to be on the main page. Sorry  21:19, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Same as Scoot, but also in my opinion. . it's not 'sexy as hell'. Also, I don't think there's anything special about it. ---Jhanely 22:46, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Opposite of Oppose - Smexy angle -- 23:07, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - This image has to be reviewed or re-nominated because its discussion has been modified as seen here . 05:17, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Couldn't we just copy and paste the original and cancel out the change? -- 05:25, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I didn't want to touch it, just in case =/ 05:27, December 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - The angle is too high for me, not much too be seen apart from some fountains and a farming spot, also inappropriate description. 12:23, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 'pose - TOO HIGH WTF  20:11, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

 * Support - DARN IT, YOU BEAT ME TO THE IMAGE!!!!!!!! Seriously, when I did the event and saw this, the first thing that came to mind was nom.ing it for FIMG, but thought that the wiki doesn't have it. >:( -- 23:11, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - And you beat me too . 23:15, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - OMG YESHHHH!!!1111!!@@@@@ -- 10:30, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * support-I'm Jewish, and I still thinks it's a pretty cool image. 18:45, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Great angle. 12:24, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's a good image, but I think it's missing something, maybe something more special. 08:20, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Photo Booth
Description: The Magical Photo Booth outside of Falador. (Not descriptive enough) The Mystical Photo Booth, step right in.

Reason: I think it's a very good image, and looks special.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. -- 23:39, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral, leaning towards oppose - Meh, doesn't really need transparency -- 23:42, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * '?' What's that -- 23:49, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Better known as "whitebackgroundness" -- 02:26, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Or "checkerboards"  20:08, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - Looks great. :) Star Find 05:28, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support- Looks Good, but i'd look better with a the background. 18:43, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Transparency makes it look bad and it looks tilted. 21:38, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's okay. But I don't think anything is very special, but most of it is good, not quite on Support or Oppose. 08:22, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Maggie
Description: The jovial witch.

Reason: There aren't a lot of NPC images that are featured and she is a witch!.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. -- 23:58, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose- Looks fuzzy. it's out of focus, and it's...Just maggie, noone special. 18:40,
 * Neutral - I think its a good image, good angle, and she has some great clothes, you get an idea of a friendly witch, But the feet look dodgy  12:26, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppnerusuport (40% oppose, 10% neutral, 50% support) - Like the image, but her hands...Creepy  20:17, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Per 600313, and Swiz. The Hands and feet are a little odd.. ---Jhanely 20:44, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - The transparency is dodgy since it has left a black outline around everything. 01:39, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

 * Support - I do like the image, but the description MUST change 20:33, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Reason I passed by the page of this monster and I just said WOW!

 * Supper oppose - Awful hands and ugly image in general 22:53, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * Who's leafs have dandruff. -- 02:43, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Description: Delicious food.

Reason: A feast with Santa in it. How much more cheerful can it get?

 * Support - As nominator. Scykei 05:40, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - No anti-aliasing, there are other people on it, Santa's a bit weird on it. 13:43, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - But change the image to something like, "A fabulous feast with even better food!" Or something like that. -- 15:39, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I actually thought about nominating this one, but then looked at it, and didn't like how much was here; this is a big mess. Bah, humbug!!! -- 17:31, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * If there are less players, I might support though-- 17:46, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I like it, it's a very happy image, with a nice festive theme  01:16, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - I like the feel of the image, but I think that it should have no players (to illustrate the event) or, what I would prefer, a whole load of players. That would make the image more lively, just like the events are. 17:54, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Per Porp. ---Jhanely 22:50, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Reason: great detail on bridge and water.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 00:45, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It's a nice picture, godd quality, and the angle is OK. Good Job.  19:35, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's just a bridge...  01:18, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The angle is awkward, and it's not special. I like images that focus on something that everyone encounters every day and thus forgets, but this is just... A bridge. 17:55, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Oli, but as said, it's just a bridge, there nothing very special to it. ---Jhanely 22:51, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * support -But it's more than a bridge, it's the "lumbridge" over the "River Lum" in "lumbridge". Are you feeling the magic?? 18:59, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * You cannot support the same image twice. 06:27, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Reason: gives tranquil feeling.

Expiry:

Support- A nice relaxing image of Lumbrige, its a great angle. I like it 14:03, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - As nom-nom-nominator. 01:04, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It's a nice calm picture of Lumbridge, even the awesome musical dude :P
 * Oppose - I hate the angle. The house makes people focus on one side of the image, which makes the subject fade away. 17:56, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I renamed this nomination to "Musician(3)" because we had another nomination called Lumbridge, and this is the third time a musician is nominated. 04:45, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Musician does not have the image ... oh, wait, it does now! -- 17:09, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 9 January 2010. 06:27, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
