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.

Lumbridge Sage
Description: (Unknown at present)

Reason: I love the detail in this image! the AA really gives it out style the way he stands, everything about this image, the best word i can say about it is, sweet :).

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. -- 16:55, April 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Nice detail. 16:31, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Between weak and normal support - Per nominator, but his hands and face look a bit awkward. Further, he looks awesome! 16:45, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * slight oppose - looks too cartoonish. the staff is oversized and akward, the hands are balls, the face looks like he is sniffeling, and its blurry. i do like the colors though. 17:51, April 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I hate his staff. The orb looks like somebody cut something out 18:03, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Small oppose - Seen that eye!? Its freaky.. 05:29, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - He looks creepy. Per others, he doesn't look very real. 04:48, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Avatar of Creation


Description: A being of unsurpassed vitality.

Reason: I noticed that the Avatar of Destruction's picture was a featured image. This picture is just as nice, clean, and sharp as that one.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 20:03, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Is this going to replace the old one? 23:12, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - if it replaces the old 1. that 1 is terrible imo, maby 1 of our worst images. 23:21, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - If this replaces the old one I say no, it doesn't look good and the other one looks natural. There is a battle in the area, and the character is actually doing something in the crowd. 03:16, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice image. Matches the Avatar of Destruction's. However, if you mean to replace File:Battle for the Avatar of Creation.PNG, then I oppose D: I hope not. That's one of my favorite images on the wiki (minus the annoying health bars and protection prayers >_<). 04:47, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose + comment - You know, it's too pixelated. Needs anti-aliasing. And then, he looks down, and I'd like a nice front view. =} Comment: We already have one AoC image nominated, File:Battle for the Avatar of Creation.PNG. If it should replace it, I say oppose. I hate that image due to the many player, hits, HP bars, etc. but the reason for opposing replacement is the same as the one for featuring. 05:20, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It needs AA. 09:37, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Draynor Sewers
Description: The entrance to the sewers, hidden amongst the forest.

Reason: Image is highly detailed and shows expression, may have some fog though...

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. --Coolnesse 06:15, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose - I hate the fog behind the houses, and the existance of the player in full rune armour in the middle of the image ruins it. 09:42, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
