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.

Christmas cupboard
Description: A cupboard of Christmas goodness leading into the Land of Snow.

Reason: It has superb graphics such as the particles and i like the wood too.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 11:12, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I love the particles, scenery (as far as that's possible on such tiny piece of snow) and design of the cupboard. But it doesn't really need transparency, because it looks like it's floating. Oh, and PLEASE, change the description... I wouldn't call 'Jump in.' very descriptive, could have been a manhole.   11:19, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * What would you suggest then, sirrah? 13:06, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uhm... "A cupboard of Christmassy goodiness leading into the Land of Snow." or something.  15:31, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * You actually changed it, with a small change!  06:46, May 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Slight support - It is a nice picture. Lil cloud 9 11:27, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - The particles kinda ruin it for me, plus there is 1 or 2 very small graphical errors which kinda change my weak support into an weak oppose 11:58, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Simple, symmetrical, prettyful. Ajraddatz Talk 13:10, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Nice image, but the angle is terrible. 13:26, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * between strong and normal support - i love the way the thing looks like the inside is glowing, and the way the snow is coming out is wonderfull. 18:34, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - This seems familiar; wasn't it already nominated? 00:37, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's badly angled, and the small, small amount of particle snow flying out just ruins it for me. I expect to see a winter wonderland in there, but this image makes it seem like such a light snowfall on a cold February morning. It just doesn't seem exciting. 02:31, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, this seems more Narnia-themed than RuneScape-themed >.> 02:32, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - This image is blurry, and the particles don't help. Diriz is right; something RS themed is better than something Narnia themed. 10:31, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I never liked the particles, helm, I just care about the wood =p 15:48, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Per Fswe1. 21:24, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - It's HD and special-effecty. -- 23:47, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I just really like the cool looks this picture gives off. 00:19, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The blurriness of the particles and the non-blurred outline do not work together for me. 23:49, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

Runecrafting altar
Description: It's the largest rock in the dungeons of Daemonheim.

Reason: Highly detailed, I believe it deserves its place on the FI.

Expiry:

Notice: A new version of the image was re-uploaded, and is no longer fuzzy. --Coolnesse 23:53, May 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - As nominator. --Coolnesse 21:03, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - It's a slab of generic rock that is nothing special. Now, if the picture was of a specific Runecrafting altar, then I suppose I could support... 21:04, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a fuzzy, low quality image. 21:17, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not symmetrical, fuzzy, horrible. 21:26, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - (guys, what's fuzzy? I clicked it, but see nothing...) It's a very strange angle, and it's pretty empty and bland. With my Dungeoneering experience, I know that there are interseting things on the wall behind each altar. If you would have captured those, in a nice angle together with the altar itself, nad perhaps a mage that crafts runes, you'd have my vote. 06:20, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per all. 13:34, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Fuzzy + Minimum 19:26, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - If this succeeds, I WILL eat my own feet on live stream 21:37, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Can I have the URL for that? 01:50, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol'd 04:25, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Transparent images do not look pretty enough. And that's just a piece of rock. 20:41, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I was seriously about to vote support for Gradius...and per all. 00:21, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It looks top heavy  07:31, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I see a rock with some carvings on it... :\ 04:25, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Law altar
Description: The scales of justice decorate the source of law runes.

Reason: This is a nice bird's eye view of the law altar. It shows the altar itself, as well as the four adjoining pillars.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 21:08, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Very nice colors rather dark and mysterious and a great overhead shot. My only complaint would be that you can't really see the icon on the altar itself.-- 21:15, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice image. 21:17, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * oppose - too much blue. makes it look fake. 21:29, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - I dislike not being able to see through the rightmost pillar. This along with the top being cut off ruins the feel for me. Lighting is perfect. 23:44, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's quite dark when thumnailed, as it would be on the main page. The, a small piece of pillar is cut-off, but the lighting and different kinds of blue are astonishing! Bravo! But, you can see parts of the law rune symbol on the floor. I say: take the OoO, capture the whole symbol, and the altar to make an awesome picture.  06:20, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's too dark, and there's nothing interesting there. 13:35, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Amazing image, Just doesn't feel like it should be featured... It lacks that "Wow" factor. 21:38, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The angle doesn't capture anything too amazing. 00:22, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Gradiushero took the words right out of my mouth  04:24, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - The enviornment is very nice. 23:03, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Lil diriz. 00:12, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Slayer Tower
Description: The entrance to the ancient, withered structure.

Reason: This image has detail, HD 4xAA, etc etc. It really sparks up because of the 2 statues.

Expiry:

-
 * Support - As nominator. --Coolnesse 21:18, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * weak support - i dont like AA, and i dont like how the white statues contrast. but it is a good pick, and very appealing 4 some reason. kinda dont like the grass/walkway though. but still a good image. 22:46, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This image lacks fluidity. The gracious, white marble statues of Turael and Duradel clash horribly with the crumbling tower doors and the gargoyles behind. Furthermore, this image has horrible lighting and does not hit me with any "wow" at all. 22:52, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - The detail is great. The AA is great. The statues are great, though black and white don't really fit... Furthermore, it's a bit boring. An open door... exciting... what's inside? A piece of floor, some twigs and the same wall. If you could lure a crawling hand, this might have been a weak support.  06:28, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Helm.  18:47, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's pretty boring... just an entryway. 20:43, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per all... it's bleh  04:24, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Fswe, you plucked my thoughts out of my head. 00:14, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Astea Frostweb
Description: A fearsome mage.

Reason: I was reading its article and couldn't help but notice how good the image is. The transparency is epic.


 * Support - As nom. 18:40, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - the hair is nice, and the cloths are nice. would have strong support, but the breasts and face which are the main focus of the picture look pixelated. 19:41, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - While this is a nice image, I feel she looks too polygon-like (per Farcaster). I'd love to have some new Dungeoneering bosses as featured images, but it just doesn't feel like this should be one of 'em. Sorry. 04:19, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - When zoomed out the chin is superbly pointy, and full size several other features take on some nasty rough edges. I wish NPCs had heads as detailed as their chatheads. 04:41, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Per everybody. I also like some Dungeoneering bosses feautured... such as MY images of Stomp, Icy Bones, Hobgoblin Geomancer, Luminescent Icefiend, etc.  06:24, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - The only flaw is frostweb's angry face; I'd prefer it to be more welcoming. 23:06, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Per all comments above combined. 00:15, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
