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.

Cow powered Windmill
Description: The only Windmill that is powered by a talking cow.

Reason: Great angle and colours.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 22:27, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - I don't liek how the fog in the back 'tears' off the mountain or landform. I like how the cow is in the wheel ^_^. But, It's just a little unsymmetric, and the angle is a little off to good appeal for me. Good job though. 22:30, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the cow is hardly visible, the mushroom lights look awfully odd, and theres also the fog problem. 01:50, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Twigy, colours are great. 10:20, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The cow can barely be seen and the wheel makes the image look very uneven. 10:47, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * oppose- we know zanaris is being updated in 2010 so i think that adding any zanaris based images before this update would be pointless. after the update though a zanaris image should be featured. 21:42, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight Support- Great thing to take a picture of, but as Farcaster said the cow is hardly visible, and that's kinda the whole point. 02:32, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Evil. 02:41, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - I like the angle and the mushroom lights, but the fog is just terrible, the cow is barely visible (had to look for it for about 10 seconds) and though I love Zanaris, it's a bit too blue. 08:25, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I dont see any cows, and theres fog too. -- 10:55, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Maggie
Description: A lonely Witch ponders about her Halloween magic.

Reason: It's a nice angle and the colors are pretty good.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. Тαcαωч 11:17, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great angle, great colours, Epic! 11:20, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Wow, great image. 11:21, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - We already have a featured image similar to this: File:Camp maggie.PNG, displaying the same area. The only difference between the two are the lack of a player as well as different colours. Should both be featured or should we have one replace the other, opinions? 11:36, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * As they aren't the same image the first shouldn't be replaced 17:10, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * We could feature both, if this one can reach the qualitiy of the other one. 08:49, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * The other one is ugly. Replace it with this. 18:20, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I like these colors better. -- 19:58, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak support - I just love the colours at night, but the cart is cut-off. :( 08:28, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've just been there on a free world. Could take my OoO next time... ;) 08:49, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose + Comment - The top of the wagon is cut off, Maggie looks like she doesn't want to be seen. The colors are inspirational, the first one is not the same as this one. And As well, the other one is more sophisticated. >_< [[File:Astral Rune.PNG]] Jhanely  [[File:Soul Rune.PNG]] 23:51, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - The image isn't focused on any one particular thing in the photo well. 10:04, April 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose - I like simplicity, sorry. Too much going on here, and without a center of interest. Ajraddatz Talk 22:52, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Bones
Description: Needs description

Reason: I just like it. Probably won't make FIMG, but oh well.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. -- 02:21, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Obscenely strong oppose - Are you kidding 3i+1? That is absolutely hideous. Can't we come up with any other subject than this? 02:22, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nao. -- 02:23, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Extreamly Strong Support- the texture look is great, and has good shades of white and grey. also nicly zoomed in, and its an image nearly every rs player will reconise. 02:34, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Super Duper MEGA Support!- By far the best pile of bones I've ever seen. 02:37, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Doesn't look like bone, it looks like it is made of marble. Very bland 02:39, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too boring, and per Evil. 02:42, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Awmg great 05:53, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support cuz liquid helm opposed. Also, who doesn't like bones? 05:55, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ω Oppose - Per Evil and come on! Bones?! The detail is good, but this definitely shouldn't be featured. 08:32, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - You know, this is an awesome picture, expressing a IX (9) made from bones. But, they don't really suggest me something. It's a pile of bones zoomed like 400%. You also need a description, if this will be featured on the main page. 09:58, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * SUPPORT - Kewl. 16:13, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - in runescape i say oppose but that amazing image! i have to support! -- 16:29, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Since when did they start making marbled life sized bones? -- 23:06, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uber Mega Oppose - They're bones. Every time you go on RuneScape, you see them. They're not even rare bones, like Wolf bones, but regular bones. These are most definetely not worth featuring. I could go on, but words can't express my distaste. -- 16:47, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hear hear!
 * EPIC FAIL -- 19:48, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * featured images are about good images. not about rareness or being high-leveled or any of that. i could take a picture of 3rd age armour or p hats sitting on the ground- but would that be a good featured image simply because its rare? no. 19:45, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * As much as I dislieked about you not being the bukkit anymoar, I have to agree with you. --


 * Oppose - You gotta be kidding... -- 17:03, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Epic lolz (oppose) - Its a close up shot of a item, not even a rare item. But I have to say the quality of this shot is amazing. 22:30, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The bones look unnatural and poorly textured; they just don't look like actual bones, especially this up-close. That aside, is this really one of the best images RuneScape has to offer? 22:50, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Puffin
Description: A high detail picture of a puffin

Reason: One of RS Wikia's most detailed images in my opinion.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 05:54, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Very angular and there is no AA. 07:20, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Cute  07:22, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Looks like it made up of squares. 09:39, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Messed up. 10:30, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Angular, no AA, awkward paws and the colour changes are too big. I mean that it's first dark grey, and turns a lot brighter in a few pixels. Nice pose, but regular quality. 16:12, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's kinda the point Fswe1. It's supposed to look shaded and uneven. Every runescape surface is uneven, and there's nothing you can do about it. 22:10, April 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - This picture is zoomed in so much that a lot of the detail simply disappeared. 22:12, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Altar of Life
Description: An unactivated altar with a strange symbol, where the Homunculus summons awkward creatures.

Reason: It has good lighting. Not too dark, not too bright. It's also perfectly centered and pretty symmetric (except for the dirt to the left). You can see the strange things on the altar. And it's 4xAA. Click to enlarge.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 16:20, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - the only thing I don't like is the unrealistic water 02:25, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I love the lighting effects! Very nice. 04:35, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great picture one of the best I have ever seen. 06:06, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Per Porp1 12:01, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The unrealistic water and the ugly, unsymmetrical-making dirt ruin the image for me. It's a good image, but just not FIMG-good. 13:27, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Oli4burggraa, also I don't like the angle. 20:30, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - To dark, whats the symbol on the banner, i can't see it, i dont think it should be a Featured image -- 18:29, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I'd read the article, in fact I will now.
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 9 April 2010. 04:31, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Supoort - Looks kinda nice. 14:16, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - just dont like it much 16:05, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I'm not a fan of the straight curtain-like water. Nor am I liking the dirt. However, I'm not sure if that is a sewer in front of it, but it makes it looks odd. Also the dirt makes an awkward entrace to the fountain's right (not your right) side. 22:28, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Easter Bunny
Description: When Easter Come, the rabbit come out.

Reason:Quite a good angle, the way he clooking is also quite nice, it would also give the easter feeling all year round, it quite i happy images

Expiry:
 * Support - As nominator. 18:28, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - He looks cheesy, pixellated, and somewhat scary. 18:31, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - Per Liquidhelium. Though I love the Bunny of Thousand and One Eggs, this shot of him looks a bit... not FIMG-quality-ish. But if imagining, it would look good on the main page. 18:36, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - a nice image for everybody to enjoy which is a fairly cheery sight when entering the rs wiki 18:38, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - Per Liquid. 03:20, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Helm, and you should change the description, too. 17:05, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I wouldn't trust him with my small children. 04:45, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * ROFL! 06:54, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I couldn't resist after people said how he looked scary. 09:08, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - I was going to oppose per Evil but i like bunnys  06:16, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Cute. 14:15, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - per shadow
 * Weak Oppose - The Bunny is a cute character, creepy in some ways, but cute in other ways. However, this image in particular isn't very appealing or special. The picture is a bunny. . . but an Easter one. So my count isn't a large oppose, very slight. 22:25, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose- Ugly. Period. 02:27, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice - Nomination extended for one week. 02:07, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
