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.

Draynor Sewers
Description: The entrance to the sewers, hidden amongst the forest.

Reason: Image is highly detailed and shows expression, may have some fog though...

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. --Coolnesse 06:15, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose - I hate the fog behind the houses, and the existance of the player in full rune armour in the middle of the image ruins it. 09:42, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Well, first of all, there's the fog, consuming almost a full building and making a gate float. Then, it's too plain. Green grass and trees, grey roofs and brownish walls. That's it, the only other colours are the white fog and the colourful player. I'd rather have seen a cool shot of the sewers themselves, with some nice zombies, skeletons and perhaps a Vampyre...  12:33, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose + Comment - I really don't like this image... this is supposed to be an image of the entrance to the sewer, I don't see the point of all that scenery.Тαcαωч 00:49, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Its not the Sewers but the entrance which is not at all good of a image and it still has the player in it 03:17, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very Strong Oppose - Very boring and bland, The fog looks awful and there is no "Wow" factor to the image... What makes THIS trapdoor any better then the other 500 or so in Runescape? 16:04, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very strong oppose - Horrible in my opinion Per all!  00:45, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Seriously? Lil cloud 9 11:27, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very strong oppose - ... 'nuff said. 21:13, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Why would we want to slap a picture of the hole to some sewers on the main page? 21:17, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - So there's this ugly fog behind the houses and a player with poor rune. -- 23:47, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Orange tree
Description: A tree with its bounty of six oranges.

Reason: Great transparency and great colors (Yes I know its Green/Orange/Brown) and its a great angle.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 04:26, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral, leaning towards oppose - First of all, you can only see five oranges. Second of all, there are weird lines all over the tree, making it look very awkward. And finally, it's a bit dull... As a thumbnail, however, it looks pretty good!  06:21, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I don't see what's so special with this picture. 16:05, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Its a great angle and size (Inverted screenshot) oh and it was hell to make transparent (few hours of work went into it) 115.189.233.178 22:38, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't like the angle nor how the picture looks. 16:02, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * support- unlike most trees in rs, the trunk and leafy part actually look realistic in size next to each other. would have made it strong support, but the oranges make you realise the tree is tiny. 17:47, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose - Oh sorry, They are oranges? I thought they were Garnet gemstones on the tree... Seriously... How many oranges actually look diamond shaped? Only the oranges on that picture. I can think of many more better trees in Runescape in comparison to this one. 16:07, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very strong oppose Just look at the other plant images, and you'll know what to do. --Coolnesse 02:14, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - While it is a great tree image, it isn't a great RuneScape impage. 05:25, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Trees are already graphically bad in RS, these diamond-oranges don't help . Sorry. 02:25, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Lil. 21:16, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

The Mask of Dragith Nurn
Description: A lost mask beneath Lumbridge.

Reason: I saw this image in the article, and it has high detail, lighting and overall quality. I'm sure that everybody will oppose, so it's more of an Easter Egg, just like Iiii I I I's nomination of Bones. . Ah, why not try it?

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 17:49, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks nice. Bones were better though  18:35, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * EXTREAMLY strong support- the bones was the best rs image iv ever seen, and im not being sarcastic. this would be 2nd best. 22:19, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Awesome detail on the metal(?) parts 23:59, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose - This is a plain, meaningless image. It is nothing spectacular, and nothing notable. It looks kind of scary also. O_o 01:08, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - which images are "meaningfull"? how do u make a "meaningfull" picture? its notable because its so close and so well colored/textured. any pic taken w/ the ooo should be featured, imo. 01:30, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - We already have a category for that, and many images taken with the orb of oculus are not particularly amazing. The wow factor is what makes featured images the true best of the best. It's not meant to be a giant list of images. 18:51, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * the item ones are better then nearly all featured images we have now. npc ones not so much. 18:59, May 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Awesomesauce 05:15, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Wow... this is going well!   07:18, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Whilst the image looks stunning, I just don't feel that wow factor 11:57, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - A meaningful image. It are spectacular and notable. -- 00:46, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - It's ok, I guess. 02:27, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - It looks great. 21:17, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks pretty sweet. 21:18, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - (edit conflict with Stelercus and Zap0i) Although it's a pretty cool picture, I don't really think it seems featured image-worthy. I may have found a new pic for my sig though...

Christmas cupboard
Description: Jump in.

Reason: It has superb graphics such as the particles and i like the wood too.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 11:12, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Medium support - I love the particles, scenery (as far as that's possible on such tiny piece of snow) and design of the cupboard. But it doesn't really need transparency, because it looks like it's floating. Oh, and PLEASE, change the description... I wouldn't call 'Jump in.' very descriptive, could have been a manhole.   11:19, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * What would you suggest then, sirrah? 13:06, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight support - It is a nice picture. Lil cloud 9 11:27, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - The particles kinda ruin it for me, plus there is 1 or 2 very small graphical errors which kinda change my weak support into an weak oppose 11:58, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Simple, symmetrical, prettyful. Ajraddatz Talk 13:10, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Nice image, but the angle is terrible. 13:26, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * between strong and normal support - i love the way the thing looks like the inside is glowing, and the way the snow is coming out is wonderfull. 18:34, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - This seems familiar; wasn't it already nominated? 00:37, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's badly angled, and the small, small amount of particle snow flying out just ruins it for me. I expect to see a winter wonderland in there, but this image makes it seem like such a light snowfall on a cold February morning. It just doesn't seem exciting. 02:31, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, this seems more Narnia-themed than RuneScape-themed >.> 02:32, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - This image is blurry, and the particles don't help. Diriz is right; something RS themed is better than something Narnia themed. 10:31, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I never liked the particles, helm, I just care about the wood =p 15:48, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Per Fswe1. 21:24, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - It's HD and special-effecty. -- 23:47, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Runecrafting altar
Description: It's the largest rock in the dungeons of Daemonheim.

Reason: Highly detailed, I believe it deserves its place on the FI.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. --Coolnesse 21:03, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - It's a slab of generic rock that is nothing special. Now, if the picture was of a specific Runecrafting altar, then I suppose I could support... 21:04, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a fuzzy, low quality image. 21:17, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not symmetrical, fuzzy, horrible. 21:26, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - (guys, what's fuzzy? I clicked it, but see nothing...) It's a very strange angle, and it's pretty empty and bland. With my Dungeoneering experience, I know that there are interseting things on the wall behind each altar. If you would have captured those, in a nice angle together with the altar itself, nad perhaps a mage that crafts runes, you'd have my vote. 06:20, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per all. 13:34, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Fuzzy + Minimum 19:26, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - If this succeeds, I WILL eat my own feet on live stream 21:37, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Law altar
Description: The scales of justice decorate the source of law runes.

Reason: This is a nice bird's eye view of the law altar. It shows the altar itself, as well as the four adjoining pillars.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 21:08, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Very nice colors rather dark and mysterious and a great overhead shot. My only complaint would be that you can't really see the icon on the altar itself.-- 21:15, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice image. 21:17, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * oppose - too much blue. makes it look fake. 21:29, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - I dislike not being able to see through the rightmost pillar. This along with the top being cut off ruins the feel for me. Lighting is perfect. 23:44, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's quite dark when thumnailed, as it would be on the main page. The, a small piece of pillar is cut-off, but the lighting and different kinds of blue are astonishing! Bravo! But, you can see parts of the law rune symbol on the floor. I say: take the OoO, capture the whole symbol, and the altar to make an awesome picture.  06:20, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's too dark, and there's nothing interesting there. 13:35, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Amazing image, Just doesn't feel like it should be featured... It lacks that "Wow" factor. 21:38, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Lumbridge Sage
Description: (Unknown at present)

Reason: I love the detail in this image! the AA really gives it out style the way he stands, everything about this image, the best word i can say about it is, sweet :).

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. -- 16:55, April 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Nice detail. 16:31, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Between weak and normal support - Per nominator, but his hands and face look a bit awkward. Further, he looks awesome! 16:45, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * slight oppose - looks too cartoonish. the staff is oversized and akward, the hands are balls, the face looks like he is sniffeling, and its blurry. i do like the colors though. 17:51, April 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I hate his staff. The orb looks like somebody cut something out 18:03, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Small oppose - Seen that eye!? Its freaky.. 05:29, April 25, 2010 (UTC)''
 * Oppose - He looks creepy. Per others, he doesn't look very real. 04:48, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination deadline extended to May 5, 2010. 01:14, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - He does look evil. His eye looks messed up, and he has the illusion of him having a mouth. A mouth! In RuneScape. Lordcap.PNG Elysian Aura  elysian_spirit_shield.png 03:11, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - He is one of RuneScapes most known character and I think that this is a great shot of him! — forgot to sign this comment.
 * Support - I see no problems with this picture. He is highly detailed; end of story. --Coolnesse 10:32, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very weak support - I think that it is a great picture, especially with the angle of him looking at his book... It's the hands that ruin it for me. The staff also looks waaayyyy too 2-d 16:09, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I just noticed that he really doesn't have any eyes period. Lil cloud 9 11:30, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Gradiushero and Lil. 21:28, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
