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.

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)

Count Draynor fight
Description: Locked in battle with Count Draynor.

Reason: The lighting is brilliant and the image can be used as exemplry use of the orb of oculus. the image also appeals to the lower level end of the spectrum of players who visit the runescape wiki.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 18:34, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a pretty epic angle, my compliments. But it's too dark in there, Draynor's cape covers half of his body and I don't like the HP bars, which by the way look too small here. 18:39, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Fswe1 -- 19:36, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Fswe1. 03:21, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Fswe1. 17:04, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I actually like how epic the fight is, and a fan of the angle 14:19, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It just looks bad.
 * Oppose - I love the background and all. However, some of the armour on the player and NPC just looks odd and bizarre. The health bars don't make the image any moar appealing as how it's not really appealing at all right naough. 22:26, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

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)

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)

Bones
Description: I can't think of one.

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

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. -- 02:21, April 5, 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.

 * 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)
