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.

 * Support - As nominator. 11:54, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Its not everyday you get to go to heaven and live to tell the tale right? -- 15:11, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - :O what happened to the previous nom? -- 21:43, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Long story. :P 07:24, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It has a beautiful, foggy feel to it. It almost makes me subscribe to do this quest and see this. 22:01, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Nuparu 22:04, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Question - Truly sorry if I'm wrong, but was this one changed during the nomination? Or is this a whole new one?
 * It's OK. It actually was changed during nomination, or actually, after it was removed... The thing is, the previous one didn't qualify, as it wasn't in an article. I made a new one, put it in an article and viola. It's a "whole new one" in it's own right. :P 07:24, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I love the fog and peace in this image. 19:00, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The fog annoys me, and the pillar in the middle looks bad. -- 16:22, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

 * Support - As nominator. Bahjy1 14:54, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Standard detail, outdated, in combat, doesn't really show anything of aesthetic value. 15:15, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Epic-Mega-King-OMG Oppose - That's a clip... It's called Featured IMAGES for a reason. 16:29, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Even if animations were allowed, you would not get my support, this is ugly!!!! -- 22:53, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Simply put, its an animation, SD, ugly... And it's of an old dragon soon to be updated anyhow. There isn't really anything worthy about this image... -- 02:12, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Maybe if it was in HD, maybe if it had 4x anti-aliasing, maybe if it didn't have that... err... black thing in the background. But that's maybe... :P
 * Oppose - Per everyone. -- 21:23, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's SD. 22:00, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose!!! - Per EVERYBODY! 22:05, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

 * Oppose - Sd why not Hd one? 23:15, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Coffin of Count Draynor
Description: A solemn portrayal of death; one of life's greatest mysteries.

Reason: High quality, light & darkness contrasting, shadows embody the lamp in the corner, highly outreaching to one of life's most peculiar phenomenons - death. Gets a person thinking.

 * Support - Epic 05:21, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Almost Support - I like it, but there's something missing... I don't know what... 07:40, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Almost support- per iceman 12:04, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Silverlight
Description: The legendary demon slaying sword.

Reason: Very detailed.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 02:18, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too stretched. -- 02:29, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * 0.0 you opposed your own image? -- 02:41, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * In Soviet Russia, image opposes you! -- 02:47, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good thing this isn't Soviet Russia. [[File:Lol.gif]] Yet... ¬_¬ 11:52, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - I like the texture. Also, I like how Jagex is starting to give RS a unique look to special swords and whatnot, this being one of them. This sword sticks out. In a good way. However, it is just a sword >_> people might not care much. 06:16, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - I kinda like it too. I like how it looks almost exactly the same as the sword in the RuneScape logo... :P But you know... it's just a sword. :/ Maybe if it was in another angle. I don't know. It's too light as well. Doesn't go too well with a white background. ;o 11:52, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - I think perhaps a mounted Silverlight might look better. -- 11:55, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I can tell that it had to be stretched to reach that size quity easily. 19:09, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Black dragon hatchling
Description: A cute little black dragon.

Reason: High quality, and the scales seem to appear.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 21:41, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - We already have a similar one here that's already featured. -- 21:44, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Blood Runs Deep
Description: The brutal Fremennik armada.

Reason: Good detail and angle.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 23:52, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Really great angle, and shows the power of the Fremmenik. However, I don't like the description :p What do you say about "Fremmeniks' warriors prepare for battle against the mighty daggermouths." ? Yojeez 04:28, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Off to fight the Athenian Navy! -- 13:21, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - I like it. It's a very good looking image. But... I don't know, I don't think it's "Featured image material", of so to say. There's something that's annoying me about this whole thing. 12:31, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It is really obvious where the fog is since it cuts some of the boats in half... 01:11, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Reason: Nice angle, gives mystic feeling.

 * ... -- 14:51, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Rip- Camoninja12's esophagus -- 17:20, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment & Epic-Mega-King-OMG Support - @ Camoninja12: No need to hold grudges with porp because he said that to you and opposed your image(even though your image was terrible).
 * Oppose I don't like it. Too much white, no details can be seen.
 * Support - Love it 23:21, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

 * Support - Anything supported by the the robot earns an instant support by me. -- 04:18, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - The fog in the background annoys me. 12:35, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think the past version has a little bit more detail, and shows just the altar, not the sky. 21:43, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
