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.

How to nominate
See the following example:

Example
Description: A description for the image. Maximum 10 words long.

Reason: Provide a valid reason for nomination.

Note to nominators

 * The description should describe the image itself, and not be biased.
 * Be creative. Description such as "A picture 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.

Tormented Demon
Description: An incredibly powerful tortured demon that's magically bound to Lucien.

Reason: The design of it's costume looks pretty cool, showing the hard work of the graphics designers.


 * Support - As nominator. -- 01:16, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - It is an in-game image? Could someone verify this? 06:44, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - It appears to be an in-game image, although I'm not 100% sure and cannot verify as I am not a member and as such do not have access to the Demons; however, the image seems to match with the Demon in the animation on the Tormented Demon page. -- 18:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support and comment - A masterpiece! Very dangerous looking. And yes that is how it appears in game. I have been to them a few times and they look like that. 22:00, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Simply because it's a Tormented Demon! They look awesome without even trying. 11:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Could someone fix the description so that it describes the Tormented Demon? The current one is too long (more than 10 words). 06:23, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Per ThatOneGuy. 06:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very nice. How about "A powerful demon that has endured extreme torment."? Just an idea. 10:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I've changed the description to comply with the limit, hard to sum up such an awesome thing in only ten words heheh. Hope everyone's ok with it. -- 03:58, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it should be changed. Words like "that's", "would've", etc are only used in dialogue. It should be "that is" here but that's 11 words. 07:15, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Cockroach soldier
Description: The commonly found bug in the Stronghold of Player Safety. Reason: It's kind of epic looking with the texstures. This shows the great graphical work Jagex have done with RSHD.


 * Support - As nominator.--. 17:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice picture with cool lighting details 17:13, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Love the glowing green goo, it sets the picture off nicely. 22:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Per above. 06:39, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - What's not to like about glowing moss/slime? Nice image. 10:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Jade vine maze
Description: A player exploring the depths of the Jade vine maze (Wrong description). Reason: It's a nice image, it might be too busy, but it (again) shows the beauty of RSHD.


 * Support - As nominator.--. 15:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Without the man can be ok. Why has to be a man inside??.--Dindirindin 19:36, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * comment - That 'man' is the guy who took the image ¬¬ 11:24, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * comment - yes, but u can take the image without be inside
 * Comment - I think S/he means that Hapi could have used the Thanksgiving Emote and took a picture when he dissapeared. I will hopefully be re-uploading a non-grainy, anti-aliased picture of this area without me in the way, perhaps this will help. Requiem1160 21:41, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 *  Pending, leaning towards Support - It's a nice shot, showcasing some of RuneScape's flora rather well. It does seem a little bit busy; not to the point where it detracts from the image immensely, but it does a little bit. I'm going to wait a bit and see if Requiem does upload that image and take a look at that before making my final decision. The new picture is great, and better than the original. Nice use of the fog on the top-left corner, as well. 14:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC) 15:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Re-uploaded, AA, no player in the way. The image is rather large and is best viewed in detail. Requiem1160 17:28, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Pretty colours, lots of things to see, nice details and should give players a reason to start Back to my Roots :P 01:34, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Please do not strikethrough comments made by others. 06:44, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Voting period extended another week until 20 May 2009. 21:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm not opposing now. --Dindirindin 13:54, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - An area with a good use of fog, and gives off a nice natural feel. 11:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - A very nice luscious image that is not of a commonly visited area.
 * Comment - The description needs to be changed. The player in the image has been removed...  06:23, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support- Per above.  06:39, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Jiggig
Description: The Zogres at Jiggig. Reason: Most of our featured pics are of places, this is mainly the monsters.


 * Support - As nominator. 09:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - It's a rather nice picture, and it captures the Skogres and Zogres in their element... which seems to be dancing. It's a bit crowded though... Requiem1160 17:38, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This isn't even inside Jiggig. 18:27, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Same reason as Requiem1160 11:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral What is a good image? It depends of your definition of "good". To my definition, this image is neutral. 11:28, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Voting period extended another week until 25 May 2009. 06:23, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I like the business of it, feels like something is happening.--Degenret01 06:33, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
