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.

How to nominate
See the following example:

Example
Description: A description for the image. Maximum 10 words long.

Reason: Provide a valid reason for nomination.

Note to nominators

 * The description should describe the image itself, and not be biased.
 * Be creative. Description such as "A picture of..." is not acceptable.
 * Try not to use superlatives (such as "most", "greatest", "best", etc.).
 * Please make sure the image is used in the mainspace before nominating.
 * Nominations without a valid reason and description will not be accepted.

Cockroach soldier
Description: The commonly found bug in the Stronghold of Player Safety. Reason: It's kind of epic looking with the texstures. This shows the great graphical work Jagex have done with RSHD.


 * Support - As nominator.--. 17:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice picture with cool lighting details 17:13, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Love the glowing green goo, it sets the picture off nicely. 22:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Per above. 06:39, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - What's not to like about glowing moss/slime? Nice image. 10:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I had to cut the image a bit because I don't wanted myself in the picture. That would have done the picture bad. This was the best angle I'v found with a blind-ally.
 * Support - Though it's a bit too dark in my opinion, it's still awesome. . 20:29, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Really love the picture, too bad it's a little dark, but still. It looks great :)

Fake image
Description: A convincing picture that looks like a bug. Reason: It's a very convincing picture of a bug; could fool many people.


 * Support - As nominator.--Xianglung 04:31, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a weird image. It shows no in-game features, locations, monsters or so, and it's fake!--. 06:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - As per Hapi007. 06:20, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Hapi, also it has been stretched to a rediculously large size and has a huge area of transparency for no apparent reason. CFLM ( Talk ) 12:52, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Transparent area removed. CFLM ( Talk ) 13:02, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose Pointless much? It shows nothing other than levels. Requiem1160 15:05, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This is what our wiki's all about. Fake images. Doesn't really go, huh?16:08, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Uzer Mastaba
Description: The reconstructed tomb of the Pharaoh Queen.

Reason: It looks pretty epic, I really like the lighting and graphic details aswell as a great camera angle. 12:36, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - Very simply put, a spectacular image. 12:59, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - An interesting picture showing a majority of the Desert deities, as well as a mysterious Pharaoh Queen next to her mummified remains. 13:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Super Support - Wonderful picture! Was about to nominate it, hehe. Nice Lighting and a wonderful egyptian feel. Requiem1160 15:05, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Love it. 07:35, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Changed title/link to Uzer Mastaba, the pyramid itself. We need an article to link to, and this was the closest match. 07:42, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Mountain Daughter
Description: Adventures are willing to do anything for a missing daughter!

Reason: Funny picture. Captures something rather unusual and would attract people to start this quest serie. 21:21, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It indeed is funny, but it's just not... the right image to feature. The tree has old graphics, the player can't be seen very clear. . 20:27, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Taverley stone circle
Description: The last Guthixian Stone Circle, near Taverley.

Reason: It features a quite mystical place, and it contains updated graphics. . 20:22, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - It's a nice picture, good graphics - anything to do with Guthix and I support ^_^ I might re-upload this picture, however in AA without me standing there. Requiem1160 12:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No need to. In a thumb version, you can hardly see any differences in AA. And why does nobody want a player in it?--. 14:32, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Balloon transport system
Description: A player standing near a massive Hot Air Balloon.

Reason: The picture is not too busy, and it shows the simple beauty of a hot air balloon. . 20:22, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Jiggig
Description: The Zogres at Jiggig.

Reason: Most of our featured pics are of places, this is mainly the monsters.


 * Support - As nominator. 09:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support Oppose - It's a rather nice picture, and it captures the Skogres and Zogres in their element... which seems to be dancing. It's a bit crowded though... I think it would better inside Jiggig and without you in the way, otherwise it's a nice picature Requiem1160 21:20, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This isn't even inside Jiggig. And the guy is more featured then the zogres. 18:27, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Same reason as Requiem1160 11:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral What is a good image? It depends of your definition of "good". To my definition, this image is neutral. 11:28, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Voting period extended another week until 25 May 2009. 06:23, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I like the business of it, feels like something is happening.--Degenret01 06:33, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Per ElfAnurin, but also Degenret. 06:20, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Please state your reasons. We generally do not accept votes. 07:42, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The main thing your eye sees in the picture is the fence because it is to large. Not a good picture because of that.
 * Oppose - The image is actually too small to see clearly what it is.--. 18:15, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
