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 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.

Note to nominators

Mobilising Armies (Hoard)
Description: The dangerous-looking scenario of a Hoard game in Mobilising Armies.

Reason: It shows the beauty of RuneScape High Detail, and the nice graphics of currently released concept.


 * Support - As nom. . 11:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It looks pretty good, but the only criticism I have is that the volcano crater is only at one side of the image, making the other side seem plain and boring. Would have been better if the crater was in the middle of the picture. 11:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It also doesn't show the actual game playing. Could be nice if there were a bit fighting in the back or so.

 * Support - Wow. I love Mobilising Armies but I didn't know it could look that good. 11:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - To be honest, what does this really show. Sure it has the high detail of lava and all but is that it. Tons of images like this and doesn't deserve a place. 18:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I gotta say, it's a nice picture of a volcano, but it's very bland and doesn't really include a lot to look at. It'd be nicer at a higher angle where trees and the entire boat are in view. -- 22:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination extended by 1 week to 5 August 2009. 10:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I quite like it. 10:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Would of supported but AA is off. That sorta ruins it. (Sorry if I am being picky, I am a bit of a perfectionist) Support - Good Points-- 12:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh come on: http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt131/hapi007/Anti-Aliasing.png I can't help it my pics are not with AA! When the pic is so small, you almost can't see a difference. . 16:20, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose - The boat looks like it's being eaten, the colours inside the volcano don't blend together at all, the money on the floor looks like dithering or bad paint job, and I know it's been mentioned before but the Anti-Aliasing does really ruin the volcano's mouth.
 * Oppose - Per Mo

Falador
Description: A view from the tower rising from Falador's general store. Reason: The high elevation and the mist show the beauty of Falador.
 * Support - As nominator.--Xianglung 17:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Detail is very nice but angle and size of image is bad. 17:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too small, and I don't think Falador is thát spectacular... . 12:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Bad angle and not much to see but white bricks :/
 * Oppose - I think the angle is okay, it's just that the image is way too small. 12:54, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Chiam. 17:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Heroes Guild Basement
Description - A view of the Heroes Guild basement fountain. Reason - A very pretty angle highlighting the sage glow coming from the fountain.
 * Support - As nominator 19:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very nice detail, almost feels real. 15:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Beautiful.
 * Support - Per above. The glow makes it surreal. - 01:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks fantastic. 12:54, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Great Support - Realistic, beautiful, detailed, PER ALL. 17:39, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
