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.
 * Anonymous user votes are generally disregarded as sockpuppet votes.
 * 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.

How to nominate

Note to nominators

 * The description should describe the image itself, and not be biased.
 * Be creative. Descriptions such as "A picture of..." and "A view of..." is not acceptable.
 * Try not to use superlatives (such as "most", "greatest", "best", etc.).
 * Please make sure the image is used in the mainspace before nominating.
 * Nominations without a valid reason and description will not be accepted.

Total images: 37

Aquanite
Description The Aquanite, in all it's grace and beauty.

Reason I think the Aquanite's textures look great in HD. The colours are also eyecatching and the Aquanites seem to be graceful by the way they stand up tall.

 * Comment Can someone fix this.... I can never get the image right... 08:09, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I wouldn't say it has grace and beauty. It looks like retarded fish to me, and I don't get the eyecatching colours part - it's dark green with hints of blue. Seems like a clash to me <_>'
 * Oppose - First of all I never liked NPC/Monsters images to be featured on the main page. As Requiem said, this fish-like thing looks retarded to me... 20:14, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Yes its eyecatching but in the wrong way <.> 20:17, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Not a great angle, not anti-aliased, the colors aren't that great either. 00:21, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Witchaven
Description: The entrance to the Shrine of the Sea slugs.

Reason: Very nice textures and details, good angle, interesting image.

 * Support - as nom. 08:32, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Try another angle with the ship dont gets croped, or that the ship doesn´t apear 09:28, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Lumbridge
Description: Lumbridge, birthplace of the greatest heroes.

Reason: Lumbridge is a home. It's a home to all the newbie players and some of the highest too (RFD chest). It is where you start, it has alot of beauty, and superb textures.

 * Weak oppose - Its almost perfect but has one very large flaw in my opinion... the flags and the top of the castle are cut off 14:23, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm? The top of the castle is there, it's just the flag at the top. I'll see if I can crop it in.
 * Impossible, screen isn't big enough (ironically). Besides, it's so small and trivial who cares tbh? >_<
 * Support - Wow, it's like OMG... :O 18:10, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Awesome picture but the big archway-type-wall-thing sort of ruins the image. It blocks the courtyard, which could make this image 100% perfect. 05:49, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's nice, but I would more like it if the castle was captured from a different angle. It's not thát clear it's a castle right now. . 15:06, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Nice, could be better. 21:00, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Gragon(: 17:56, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination extended by a week to 9 September 2009. 02:51, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Dagganoth Prime
Reason The picture is taken from the runescape website (the owner of this picture didn't take the picture, he "robbed" from Jagex) and the Dagganoth claw looks blured.
