RuneScape:Featured images/archive1

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.

Zanik
Hero of the cave goblins.

Reason: Zanik, is an extremely well known character around RuneScape. Almost everyone knows her, therefor lets make herour first AoTM.


 * Support - As Nominator 19:26, 16 March 2009 (UTC).
 * Comment - ...knows her, therefor lets make him our first AoTM. Is it a him or her? o.O 19:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed >.> 19:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - Zanik for the win! 22:46, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Zanik is a girl. Note that images appear randomly, not for the entire month. Technically, she won't be an IoTM, just a part of the list.  10:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Fishing Guild
Players fishing at the Fishing Guild.

Reason: The fishing guild is a popular destination for players and yet remains a mystery to those of lower levels. This image is a good example of the capabilities of RuneScape in HD.


 * Support - As Nominator 22:10, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - As it actually has something to look at other than a chat head. 00:06, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very well detailed. The scenery is also one of the best. Better than any old chathead.
 * Support - As said in the clan chat by C Teng, the image of the month should feature the background and scenery. Apparently, it does. --[[Image:ZamorakSymbol.png]]Killr833[[Image:ZamorakSymbol.png]] 00:23, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I also think that images with transparencies cannot we chosen. 00:34, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - My Favourite place :P. 08:58, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - My 2nd favorite place. It is a great picture and represents RuneScape HD at it's best. - 22:17, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Its a nice image in HD ,and its not an item or chat head Serducho1 10:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very good image, and seeing players going about their business. 21:43, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

While Guthix Sleeps
A player finds the legendary Stone of Jas.

Reason: This is a really nice image from a very significant quest. The image and quest speak for themselves.


 * Support - As nominator 01:04, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The amount of detail is superb. I propose we change the link to Stone of Jas, instead of While Guthix Sleeps. The image has to be included in that article, however.  04:51, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I love that image, it's more than worthy of recognition. -- 04:53, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The amount of detail in that image is amazing! The lighting also gives it a certain feeling to it. 100% support. 14:11, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The amazing amount of detail and interesting lighting definately makes this image worthy of title of featured image --Template:Signatures/ma44040 14:57, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - This image has amazing detail! This I have to say, is just the greatest!!!!!


 * Support - This is an awesome image and While Guthix Sleeps was an awesome quest! 04:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Beautiful colouring, and indeed a very important part of a very important quest. Awesome image. 19:24, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Awsome image!!! and awsome datail!!! 21:31, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Clear, high detail picture, beautiful colour, and that stone reminds me of Ferrero Rocher chocolates! --[[Image:Saradomin sword.PNG|25px]]   Tehnoobshow101  21:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)Tehnoobshow101
 * Support - Absolutely gorgeous. The lighting, the textures, everything... it's beautiful. Easily one of the most best images in the game. -- [[Image:Dragon two-handed sword.png|Beware the underrated.]] Pikaandpi  Berserker Fury![[Image:Bandoschestplate.gif|Hit hard or go home.]]‎ 14:20, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Guthix
'' The best god in runescape. The god of balance and nature.''

Reason: Behold! The great and mighty GUTHIX.


 * Support - I, Lewislew, nominated this picture. 17:07 21 march 2009 (UCT).
 * Support - This is a nice image. I resized it to go along with the criteria.  Also I don't think we should call him the best god in RS.  How about "The god of balance and nature"  18:09, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - The description given is inappropriate, and has been changed accordingly.  18:41, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Guthix ftw =P. C0smic 17:59, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - If it gets some transparency 23:31, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Jad


Reason: Jad is one of the most feared monsters of runescape. The dark misty clouds add to his mystory and sheer fearsomness. --&#123;&#123;SUBST:Template:Signatures/Burnanddie93}} 09:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * This nomination was made by User:Burnanddie93
 * Comment - I resized the file so that it would fit the image guidelines for the main page. 16:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - He looks more like a small dog that the level 702 Jad I know. Some concept art would be a little refreshig.  17:48, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - If it's possible to nominate images outside game client, then yes. Would make a nice image to the main page. 16:23, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Great Picture. Great Detail.  Only logged in users are allowed to vote Rswfan
 * Support -awesome picture, the best one of the bunch Nengex 18:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Baby dragon (pet)
Your very own pet dragon.

Reason: This is good image of a high level reward from a difficult skill to train. Summoning allows you to have familiars and pets, but only the elite (1,400 or so) have the level 99 required to have one of these guys following you around. I think this image will generate a lot of interest about pets, summoning, and dragons.


 * Support - As nominator 01:04, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It's sooo cute ^^ --80.100.99.192 10:42, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It is indeed nice 23:31, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very detailed --Dindirindin 12:48, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Cute. I would cook my meat on that. Should the title be Baby dragon (pet) or Baby blue dragon?
 * Comment This image could like to the pet or the monster. The reason I linked it to the pet was because I thought this might draw people into some of the good content we have related to pets and summoning.  Killing these guys is easy, but having one as a pet, now that's a challenge.   10:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Bandos avatar
The High Priest Goblin under the control of Bandos.

Reason: What a cool creature, no?


 * Support - As nominator. 14:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Interesting monster, as it's actually an avatar of a god. Pretty dull god, I must say. Nonetheless good image.
 * PS. It has to be resized, as your image has 261/200px height. The width must be set to 153px. (Image on right side)
 * I changed your signature into a template. There's something wrong in your preferences. 16:43, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - I like it 23:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support 08:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Pretty good =)

Avatar of Creation
A battle for the Avatar of Creation.


 * Support - As nominator. I think that this is very colorfull image with a very good detail. --Dindirindin 20:38, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks good 23:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks awesome -- 12:07, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - This is a great image for the homepage. Certainly better than the others and the current one. --Signatures/blu38 11:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support HOT.
 * Support - Awesome image. Great detail! 12:30, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Great angle. Shows the Soul Wars' intensity well. Also a good image of the Avatar. 18:55, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very cool image 08:25, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice shot of the avatar. He looks scared :) --67.43.73.93 14:05, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It is the kind of image Jagex would use to advertise runescape.16:02, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - VERY nice, taken at a great angle and I agree with 2+2 it does look like one of those pictures that jagex would use in the benefits of being a member page. -Magersam X
 * Support - Clear, crisp, gets a nice picture of the Avatar of Creation, and captures of the chaos of Soul Wars. I'd love for this to be featured. -- [[Image:Dragon two-handed sword.png|Beware the underrated.]] Pikaandpi  Berserker Fury![[Image:Bandoschestplate.gif|Hit hard or go home.]]‎ 14:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Would support if there wasn't all the combat hitpoints bars across the creature and the Retribution prayer in the shot. If they were removed, 100% support. 18:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Wise Old Man
A well known figure going down Trollweiss Mountain.

Reason: Image is taken at a great angle and has a lot of detail in the image.


 * Support As nominator. 12:34, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support This is a great way to remember Gnomecopters, and see the WOM in full battle gear. Kayteen7 15:32, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support I just love it. C0smic 01:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support It's a good looking and fun pic 08:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Compliments to the taker of this picture! Ooh wait, that's me. --. 16:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Picture is dithered, and.. the image just couldn't been taken at a different angle 20:14, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment He cant do much anyways. The gnomecopters are removed. 10:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Support He's an old guy on a freaking sled going down a mountain: what's not to like?-- 11:28, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Great image, gotta love the Wise Old Man! Like the way that theres no backround clutter.
 * Support Awesome, I also think the one where he is taking a mud bath would be good as well [[Image:Pmod_icon.gif‎]] Poppop24  [[Image:Skillcape_E.png‎‎]] 03:02, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose The way I see it, Featured Image is for Runescape moments that have been perfectly captured. That is jagex stuff.16:42, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support; I'm torn. I wish that we could get it on another angle (I'm not a big fan that it's on an angle, like a front on view), but I know that we can't anymore. Then again, it shows a side of the Wise Old Man rarely seem, and it's got some nice texture work (look at that snow!). -- [[Image:Dragon two-handed sword.png|Beware the underrated.]] Pikaandpi  Berserker Fury![[Image:Bandoschestplate.gif|Hit hard or go home.]]‎ 14:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks awesome. 18:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Brimhaven Dungeon (2)
The legendary stairway leading to the Brimhaven Dungeon, the resting place of the metal dragons.


 * Support - As nominator. I know this image was up to be featured a while back, but the complaints with the image have been fixed. The brightness of the screencap is now adequate so you can actually see whats going on, the file format has been changed to png, and it has been retaken and cropped to better show off its real size and detail. I also took the screenshot further down the stairway to remove the fog and show the full length of it. You can see the old image here for comparison [] 06:21, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Omg, wonderful image. [[Image:Questicon.PNG]] Nandonalt  Talk[[Image:Guthix symbol.png]] 22:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Much, much better. It's also one of the first images of the underground areas of RuneScape up for being featured (the Stone of Jas image doesn't really count...) and it feels mildly dark and foreboding. Beautiful. -- [[Image:Dragon two-handed sword.png|Beware the underrated.]] Pikaandpi  Berserker Fury![[Image:Bandoschestplate.gif|Hit hard or go home.]]‎ 14:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I love that image, considering using it as my wallpaper. Requiem1160 17:40, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - As above. 18:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Brimhaven Dungeon (1)
The legendary stairway leading down to the brimhaven dungeon

Reason: ''This is a high resolution screenshot of the brimhaven dungeon entrance. It is a very atmospheric and shows alot of detail. ''


 * Support - As nominator. 09:04, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Pretty unclear as a thumb, too large in a frame. Also a GIF image. The small version just doesn't look good in my opinion. 16:38, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose -i'd have to side with 10finland01 on this one Nengex 18:52, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not the best of pictures for sure; it is ahrd to see anything and even tell where it is without close examination. C0smic 03:42, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I resized the image so you can see a little more detail, I think it helps a little but I'm still unsure if it looks good at this size. 08:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Brilliant pic, but gif so not so good image quality.15:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
