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.

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.

Bandos avatar
The High Priest Goblin under the control of Bandos.

Reason: What a cool creature, no?


 * Support - As nominator. 14:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Interesting monster, as it's actually an avatar of a god. Pretty dull god, I must say. Nonetheless good image.
 * PS. It has to be resized, as your image has 261/200px height. The width must be set to 153px. (Image on right side)
 * I changed your signature into a template. There's something wrong in your preferences. 16:43, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - I like it 23:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support 08:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Pretty good =)

Brimhaven Dungeon
The legendary stairway leading down to the brimhaven dungeon

Reason: ''This is a high resolution screenshot of the brimhaven dungeon entrance. It is a very atmospheric and shows alot of detail. ''
 * Support - As nominator. 09:04, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Pretty unclear as a thumb, too large in a frame. Also a GIF image. The small version just doesn't look good in my opinion. 16:38, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose -i'd have to side with 10finland01 on this one Nengex 18:52, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not the best of pictures for sure; it is ahrd to see anything and even tell where it is without close examination. C0smic 03:42, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I resized the image so you can see a little more detail, I think it helps a little but I'm still unsure if it looks good at this size. 08:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Avatar of Creation
A battle for the Avatar of Creation.


 * Support - As nominator. I think that this is very colorfull image with a very good detail. --Dindirindin 20:38, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks good 23:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks awesome -- 12:07, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - This is a great image for the homepage. Certainly better than the others and the current one. --Signatures/blu38 11:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support HOT.
 * Support - Awesome image. Great detail! 12:30, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Great angle. Shows the Soul Wars' intensity well. Also a good image of the Avatar. 18:55, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very cool image 08:25, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice shot of the avatar. He looks scared :) --67.43.73.93 14:05, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It is the kind of image Jagex would use to advertise runescape.16:02, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Wise Old Man
A well known figure going down Trollweiss Mountain.

Reason: Image is taken at a great angle and has a lot of detail in the image.
 * Support As nominator. 12:34, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support This is a great way to remember Gnomecopters, and see the WOM in full battle gear. Kayteen7 15:32, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support I just love it. C0smic 01:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support It's a good looking and fun pic 08:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Compliments to the taker of this picture! Ooh wait, that's me. --. 16:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Picture is dithered, and.. the image just couldn't been taken at a different angle 20:14, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Catherby
Players fishing at Catherby Beach.

Reason: Good angle, capturing what makes Runescape so good - the old-fashioned fishing at Catherby. A classic.

Support - As nominator.18:02, 30 March 2009 (UTC) Support - Not so nostalgic with no macroers. =D Classic, though. Quite a few fishers, though. 18:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Baby dragon (pet)
Your very own pet dragon.

Reason: This is good image of a high level reward from a difficult skill to train. Summoning allows you to have familiars and pets, but only the elite (1,400 or so) have the level 99 required to have one of these guys following you around. I think this image will generate a lot of interest about pets, summoning, and dragons.


 * Support - As nominator 01:04, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It's sooo cute ^^ --80.100.99.192 10:42, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It is indeed nice 23:31, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very detailed --Dindirindin 12:48, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Cute. I would cook my meat on that. Should the title be Baby dragon (pet) or Baby blue dragon?
