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.

Mobilising Armies
Description: A dangerous-looking Hoard game in Mobilising Armies.

Reason: Shows the beauty of RuneScape High Detail, and the nice graphics of currently released concept.


 * Support - As nom. . 11:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It looks pretty good, but the only criticism I have is that the volcano crater is only at one side of the image, making the other side seem plain and boring. Would have been better if the crater was in the middle of the picture. 11:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It also doesn't show the actual game playing. Could be nice if there were a bit fighting in the back or so.

11:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Wow. I love Mobilising Armies but I didn't know it could look that good. 11:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - To be honest, what does this really show. Sure it has the high detail of lava and all but is that it. Tons of images like this and doesn't deserve a place. 18:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I gotta say, it's a nice picture of a volcano, but it's very bland and doesn't really include a lot to look at. It'd be nicer at a higher angle where trees and the entire boat are in view. -- 22:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination extended by 1 week to 5 August 2009. 10:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I quite like it. 10:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Would of supported but AA is off. That sorta ruins it. (Sorry if I am being picky, I am a bit of a perfectionist) Support - Good Points-- 12:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh come on: http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt131/hapi007/Anti-Aliasing.png I can't help it my pics are not with AA! When the pic is so small, you almost can't see a difference. . 16:20, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose - The boat looks like it's being eaten, the colours inside the volcano don't blend together at all, the money on the floor looks like dithering or bad paint job, and I know it's been mentioned before but the Anti-Aliasing does really ruin the volcano's mouth.
 * Oppose - Per Mo
 * Support - Although it doesn't have AA, it still looks amazing. 18:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - You should change the description. There is 11 words, but the maximum is 10. 09:11, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * support - hapi pictures the volcano perfectly, in response to requiem1160 the colours dont blend with AA on (i have checked) but then lava isnt just the same colour. this picture shows effectively that the lava is hotter in the middle and cooler on the outside. 11:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't say AA ruined the colours, I'm saying that the mouth and the volcano is ruined. The colours don't blend with AA or without, which makes it a sour sight. (Please note, Sour Sight is an expression.}


 * Oppose - Per Mo

Falador
Description: A view from the tower rising from Falador's general store.

Reason: The high elevation and the mist show the beauty of Falador.


 * Support - As nominator.--Xianglung 17:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Detail is very nice but angle and size of image is bad. 17:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too small, and I don't think Falador is thát spectacular... . 12:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Bad angle and not much to see but white bricks :/
 * Oppose - I think the angle is okay, it's just that the image is way too small. 12:54, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Chiam. 17:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Image is small, and doesn't show a lot of detail. 18:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - To much white, (the fog and buildings), and it doesn't show much... 22:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Heroes' Guild
Description - A view of the Heroes Guild basement fountain.

Reason - A very pretty angle highlighting the sage glow coming from the fountain.


 * Support - As nominator 19:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very nice detail, almost feels real. 15:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Reason Shows the size of this submarine compared to the tiny penguin


 * Support - As nominator 11:43, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Description is too long. 10 words maximum. :) 11:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Nice detail but doesn't really show anything. 11:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - What one word out?? jeez. Fixed 11:50, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Very nice i see the comparison of penguin to submerisible! 11:58, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Soft support - It's a nice image, though it's not very clear that it's a submarine. . 12:55, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Moo and Hapi

Varrock Sewers
Description The Varrock sewers, where giants and rats lay. Reason I happened to come across it and I thought it should be featured for its level of detail.


 * Support as nom. 13:07, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I don't know... I think it's that glow in the liquid that makes it look so... real... {{{Signatures/Requiem1160}}
 * Soft Support - Nice detail and glow feels nice. 19:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Most of the image is too dark, making the details hard to make out, especially when the image is at such a small size. 07:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Lumbridge Castle
Description: The majestic Lumbridge Castle in it's beauty.

Reason: Shows a new high detail view of the castle that everyone knows.


 * Support - as Nominator.  18:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Very nice detail but featured images need a good angle also so its a no. 19:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Mo
 * Oppose - Per Mo
 * Neutral - The angle is fine, it's just that there's nothing spectacular about it. 07:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Chaos Temple
Description: The Chaos Temple in all of it's glory.

Reason: Shows a detailed scene of a player praying near the chaos temple.
 * Support - as Nominator. 21:00, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Detail is nice, but needs a better angle 01:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The angle is fine now. 23:41, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I don't think the angle is bad at all, but ok... 02:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Very weak oppose - It looks wonderful but the angle...just a bit more down and its a support.
 * Support - Looks like the angle has changed, support now. 09:12, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I took almost an exact copy of the original, but I tilted the angle down. 08:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Wonderful detail, but it's way to bright for that environment and you are "BLUE AND RED ARMOUR" in the midst of the Gloomy Black background. I understand you are praying to the Altar, but try to either match the environment or just use the Thanksgiving Emote and snap a picture when you vanish.
 * Comment - The brightness is normal, I'm wearing zamorak god armour because it is a temple of zamorak, and me praying on the altar symbolizes the connection shared with zamorak, the armour, and the temple.
 * Oppose - As said, lots of detail. But it's mostly just stone, and there's not a lot of variety of colour or anything that makes it stand out. Basically, no wow factor. 07:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Jaldraocht Pyramid
Description: A player exploring the top of the Jaldraocht Pyramid.

Reason: It's a nice image with a good angle showing a neat stucture.
 * Support - As nominator -- 20:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The angle is perfect, and the detail is nice, I like that pyramid! 23:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - No problems with the angle, but the pyramid looks a bit plain, and not much detail can actually be seen when it's at a small size. 07:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Its got perfect angle/detail but if the player was removed (thanksgiving emote) then it would make a wonderful image. 09:42, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Calebchiam.
