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.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 00:30, February 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight support - The red glow is amazing, but I don't really like all that blood splattered around, but it's still a nice image. 00:47, February 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The blood splatters pretty much–No pun intended–kill the quality of the image. -- 20:12, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I like it, but not good enough to be featured; sorry. Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The angle is pretty bad and the blood looks very unrealistic. 19:40, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - We already have a good featured image of an altar. The Water one. And this one just looks really dull. 20:59, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The blood is polygonical. 01:54, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It looks very nice, but there are others that deserve picture of the month. -- 19:31, February 15, 2010 (UTC)Superplayer08
 * This isn't picture of the month. It's featured images - multiple images can be featured in one month. They are displayed randomly on the main page. 18:16, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * Support - Epic pretty much describes it. -- 01:19, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * SuperSupport - The evil of Zemouregal, I love it! The angle could have been a bit better though. Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - The detail is just fantastic. A bit of a shame that the corners of the building are cut off, but the detail makes up for that! 19:42, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The detail is great, but I don't like how the background is just grey/gray and the back ends of the building are faded away like some of it got bitten off o_o 21:01, February 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Per supporters. 19:32, February 15, 2010 (UTC)Superplayer08

Reason: Everything looks epic.

Expiry:

That's the point. . . ? 02:19, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - As nominator. Can someone help me think of a description? -- 17:34, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Your reason, sums it up, however it as well has good detail. I love the Pheonix itself, and the lava lighting looks just splendid to me :]. 23:56, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Medium Support - I like it! Here's a description: The Phoenix in its lair, waiting to die and rebore. Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Uwsoome ankle and pweety kolorz 03:42, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - The detail is just great. 19:42, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - No too much good to be featured [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] BAHJY1 talk [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] 13:20, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - It's shiny..-- 03:35, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Candlelight
Description:Day Gone By, And There Windows Still Stand.

Reason: viewable thanks to the Orb of oculus, it a nice view of the front of the building, giving that nice feeling that church is still alive today.

Expiry:


 * Support -
 * Oppose - I don't like the background and the removed roof. 12:10, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It looks like Tutorial Island. But anyway, it's too simple. Grass, trees, simple building. The removed roof doesn't help... Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)♥
 * Uber Opposition - This is a big gray box (low detail) in a valley...... 15:27, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - A big grey box without a roof. It's just ugly. 19:43, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's dull. Ugly. Boring. And it's not appealing to the eyes. 21:04, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Missy Gloria. This hasn't been updated since RS2. 19:33, February 15, 2010 (UTC)superplayer08
 * Highly Oppose - It doesn't have a roof, it's SD and horribly old. -- 03:35, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Candlelight 2.0
Description:What a peaceful place to pray

Reason: all the amzing detail of the event to give new users a view of what it would of been like if they visited it today.

Expiry:
 * Support - it feels to me like a real church and it got it it detail and the rug is the cheery on the top -- 12:11, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Ulfric's Shipwreck
Description: The remains of Ulfric's crashed boat in its current location of mysteries.

Reason: There are no things cut off, it's a great view (from another location) and it's typically 'dead-Fremmenik-like'.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. It's taken from the Polar Eagles' Lair. Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Extremely dark and off center 15:47, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The mountain looks really strange like that. 19:46, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - The detail is pretty sucky. And everything looks too faded away. It's not attractive in any way to me at all. 21:05, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I can barely see it 19:34, February 15, 2010 (UTC)Superplayer08
 * Oppose - It seems it's focused on those odd rock formations and there is a shipwreck to the side. -- 03:35, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Tree Gnome Stronghold
Description: The colorful beautiful gate.

Reason: I passed this image, and i liked it!

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] BAHJY1 talk [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] 13:41, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The gnome in the front is cut off by the thingy he's standing behind. The trees in the back look strange. 18:18, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - No faces? 22:38, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Super Oppose - Per all above me besides nom. The white fog/to be loaded in the back looks horrible, and I don't like how the flags are not symmetric o.o. 02:21, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Warriors' Guild
Description: Where the land's mightiest warriors go.

Reason: Pure awesomeness. The building looks very impressive, but it doesn't dominate the image too much. The building fades out nicely (the walls don't go off screen, they blend in with the fog). It's just beautiful.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nom. 18:14, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - The colours aren't that great, the ground on the right is lower than the ground on the left, which makes it look uneven, and there's a tree on the left that looks like it's floating. -- 20:36, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Er... The ground is uneven. 21:24, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - This picture gives kind of an epic feeling! I really like how the building blends in with the fog, and its awesome design. 20:41, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak oppose It is an okay pic, sure. But it took my week old laptop over a second to load. wtf? Can we trim it down so people with slower comps wont be lagged to hell on it?--Degenret01 20:48, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Erm, a second? Is that really important? This page took me like... 20 Seconds for me to load.. -- 03:35, February 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - I was like... What is that? Oh, cooool... -- 03:35, February 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * support best image i ever took, it gives the real feel of it -- 21:22, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * weak support - per deg 22:36, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The ground blended into the sky like 2 pieces of ground? Nah. The roof is a little odd as well. 02:23, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Diango's Workshop
Description:Diango's Workshop of Wonders in Draynor Village.

Reason:Lots of colors and an exciting shot overall.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 20:52, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Suppoer - Awesome image. 11:13, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Everything looks dull besides the paint buckets. There isn't really anything special, and not really meaningful to be featured. [[File:Astral Rune.PNG]] Jhanely  [[File:Soul Rune.PNG]] 19:27, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I like it. Yay. 19:29, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - I don't like how the tables are not in line with the path behind them. But then, the image does have great detail. 20:56, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Changed to Oppose. After looking at the image again, I've decided that I really don't think it's worthy of being featured. 18:21, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Oli, but it's not very exciting... it looks deserted. (PS: Where can you find this place with the orb of oculus? Where to look?) 07:11, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support- I love the image and the festive color feel to it. Lil cloud 9 07:30, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - How did Camon take that? It look's like it's HD, but wasn't HD years later? -- 20:12, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * orb of och. if I had to guess :s 21:28, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, the Orb of Oculus. -- 21:36, February 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Because you cant actually get there anymore... 07:45, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Toll 07:50, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice - Extended for a week to 19 February 2010. -- 17:34, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Medium Support - The image itself is not perfect, but it's a special location.  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Oli. But I also don't like the tiles and how it's blended in with the ground. 21:08, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Although it is quite colorful, it is HORRIBLY off center. I don't like that.--Yojeez 02:03, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Odd Old Man's hideout
Description: Where the Odd Old Man stores his bones. What could he be doing?

Reason: It's a very high quality image with a good angle thanks to the Orb of oculus.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nomnomnominator. 01:21, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It is grey and brown, and there isn't anything special 16:46, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's dull. It's boring. There are 2 huts. Amazing. [[File:Astral Rune.PNG]] Jhanely  [[File:Soul Rune.PNG]] 19:28, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - The detail is great. 20:55, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Oli, we need more "dead" images around here ! 07:09, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Just because it's a picture of something that's not exciting doesn't make it a dull picture. Lil cloud 9 07:32, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Where's the image? It mysteriously disappeared off my screen. 19:58, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, it appeared back. Wikia was probably lagging. 00:06, February 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - The house is very detailed, and looks pretty good overall. -- 20:12, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The colors are so dull. It really doesn't look like much.  07:48, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great detail, and I actually like the colours. -- 12:05, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too boring to be featured. --Liquidhelium 17:41, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice - Nomination extended by a week to 21 February 2010. 00:15, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's a great picture, with good angle and fascinating details. It's pretty boring though. Just two colours; gray and brownish. That's why I don't oppose or support.  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Mobilising Armies
Description: The splendour of Lord Marshal Brogan's office.

Reason: The main reason I like this image is because of the variety of textures, ranging from the smooth sheen of the desk and the furry bear rug to the rough surface of the walls and the scaly dragon heads. It also has a very dignified air about it.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 01:07, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - The reasons you give pretty much sum up anything I could say about it. -- 03:53, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - I like the image, but not a fan of the size. It took at least a minute to load it on my phone. 02:26, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Tien and Camo 07:08, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice image, but if someone could crop the bottom of the image where you can slightly see the wall out it would be a lot better. 00:12, February 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's kinda boring. -- 20:12, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Dodgy physics if a chair can stably stand with 3 legs on the floor, one raised on a bearskin rug.  05:21, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I like it! It's totally not RS style, but I feel a nice atmosphere in the room. Although I don't feel anything at all. :P  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Please note that today (Valentine's Day) is the last vote day. Currently, most of the people support and so do I.  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * We don't count votes, we look at arguments.


 * Oppose - The cut-off walls make it look like something is missing. 19:39, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose + Comment - Good detail, but it's boring. A featured image is not just the detail, it has to be appealing. . . + (Comment) @ Fswe1, people can lookfor themselves, you don't have to keep a scoreboard. [And the nomination can be extended...] 20:58, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent Nomination deadline is extended one week to 21 February 2010. 01:54, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - It's hard to understand how it can be "boring", as we have TzHaar City and Elf Musician featured image, which I don't think there's a lot of action in it. Really, this image is very colorful, taken at a good angle, and is interesting (Flag, bear rug). As it is a very good image, I think it would be a very good FIMG.--Yojeez 02:06, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The bear skin just doesn't look right IMO. It's too cartoonish or something like that.  20:37, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Beefy Bill
Reason: Looks better to me. I mean it has almost viewing the front and the right side of the wagon. :D

Expiry:

Support - as nominator |0ComeKillLah, Meh|Talk to me!| 09:12, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I like when images are centered most of the time. The old one is way better, and isn't so dark.Bill looks better in the old image in my opinion. :| 04:35, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Support - The fog isn't as obvious and I like the slanted angle of the cart. 23:38, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - For whatever admin closes this if it is successful, the new image is already in the old images history. Because of this, it would probably be easier to revert File:Beefy Bill's wagon.png to the new image and delete File:New Beefy Bill's wagon.png outright. 23:38, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose The new one is too dark and I don't like the angle.   Fswe1    18:47, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Top is the new one. If you hover over the images it says which is which. 00:09, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I changed it.

Oppose - The angle was better on the old one. PLus, Beefy Bill posture was also better in the old one. --Yojeez 13:38, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Bill looks really strange and ugly with his arms like that. 19:48, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Bill looks like he's saying "BILL SMASH!!!!!" 01:59, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Rofl!  07:04, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Come on guys. Please... :(

Don't beg +_+  Jhanely   14:44, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose- Per Opposers.  Jhanely   14:44, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose-- Bill's posture looks better in the old one. 00:32, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
