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.
 * Anonymous user votes are generally disregarded as sockpuppet votes.
 * 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.

Ape Atoll Agility Course
Description: The entrance to the Ape Atoll Agility Course.

Reason: This image is incredibly bright and vibrant and shows one of Runescape's more exotic areas. It is also a replacement image due to the other one being unanimously disliked.

 * Support, Comment - More fun with the server cache I see! I think maybe it is best to wait a day or so until its completely sorted out before renominating. Although in case you don't, I support the one where you're looking kinda down on the monkey bars with the waterfall going under you, and if that is in fact the version you are nominating, this one, if direct linking works. Its very dynamic and colorful and the colors are well balanced. 00:48, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - That angle makes the height of the monkey bars look very dramatic. It also has lovely colors. 00:52, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I just don't like it. It's very chaotic. 05:24, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Amazing what a little Camera shift can do ;)
 * Support - Awesome angle, it adds a lot of interest. I think that's why I like it, its different from a lot of other pictures  -- 02:52, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support! - I love the theme, the waterfalls, the centeredness of the bridge, and the angle of the shadows of the palm trees. The camera angle might have been improved by lowering it to capture height of the waterfalls more effectively, but the image is near perfect without that.Anincent 01:46, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Spirit Beast
Description: the spirit beast.

Reason: such a good looking image

 * Oppose - Get better pc? -.- 14:52, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I personally don't like it. I don't feel as if the angle is good enough, and its also fairly cramped. That said, Shadow guy, you should provide a better reason for not supporting. I don't know what his PC has to do with anything... 16:56, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It shows nothing spectacular. And Psycho, with PC he means Pic, as 'get a better pic'... Btw, nice description! . 16:59, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think it's almost a requirement for featured images to be in High Detail. However, even it if were, I'd still be hesitant to accept this. Also, Shadow Guy might have meant PC, since the person who took this picture was playing in low detail, implying that they have a low-end computer.Anincent 17:30, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - wat. Also, BEST DESCRIPTION EVAR PLZ

Gu'Tanoth
Reason: This image is rather dull, it doesn't really show anything either. All it is is dead colours mixed with more dead colours.

 * Support - As nom. 21:57, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - There's a huge void of action and content right in the center of the image, and it isn't very pleasing to look at. 02:48, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I like this image as it looks very relistic and shows off RuneScape's grahics. 14:52, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * How does it remotely look realistic? And how does it show off the graphics? This is a horrible example of how good RuneScape graphics are. 23:08, September 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - Per nominator. 16:45, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Quoting Pika: we need some more pictures of different races across RuneScape (aside from some Humans in most of our featured images, the Goblins in the Chosen Commander Image, and various enemies throughout many of our screens, we lack different races). I agree wholeheartedly. I don't agree that this image is dull, it has some nice detail and is overall, a very interesting picture. 11:48, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's just awesome to look at. It's better than most location images... . 10:19, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
