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.

Fishing Guild
Description: The bank of the fishing Guild, a hotspot for master fishers.

Reason: It is update, and I like the detail, and amount of material, such as the obelisk.

 * Support - brillant, really looks realistic. 01:44, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Nice detail and angle. 04:03, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Simply awesome. 15:41, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too brown and too foggish. 16:28, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - I saw the image in full size and changed my mind. The colours are wonderful! But I still hate the fog near those trees... 10:20, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - If I took the image I would crop it slightly more on the left side, but apart from that it is great! I especially like the opened door on the hut. 04:44, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - pretty good. 06:06, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks great! I love the angle and the scenery. 12:00, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Those white flowers in the background ruin it. 13:26, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Slight support - Per Fswe1. 20:28, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Its a brown hut... 23:43, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Altar of Life
Description: An unactivated altar with a strange symbol, where the Homunculus summons awkward creatures.

Reason: It has good lighting. Not too dark, not too bright. It's also perfectly centered and pretty symmetric (except for the dirt to the left). You can see the strange things on the altar. And it's 4xAA. Click to enlarge.

 * Support - As nominator. 16:20, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - the only thing I don't like is the unrealistic water 02:25, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I love the lighting effects! Very nice. 04:35, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great picture one of the best I have ever seen. 06:06, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Per Porp1 12:01, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The unrealistic water and the ugly, unsymmetrical-making dirt ruin the image for me. It's a good image, but just not FIMG-good. 13:27, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Oli4burggraa, also I don't like the angle. 20:30, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Crashed Star
Description: A Crashed Star.

Reason: It's basically like a rock, but a nicely detailed one

 * Support - As nominator. 14:24, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - What image does it replace? 15:07, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The image replaces one that has a player standing beside it. However,.. I'm not sure it should be as although it is cropped and cut out neatly, it doesn't represent runescape HD, the colours are just.. black. I think it's too dull! 16:44, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * No... Nominations for Replacement should replace already featured images. There is however no featured image of a crashed star. I think Murd3rlogist placed this nomination under the wrong heading... 16:56, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, let me change it 04:19, March 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - While Enigma should be commended for the amazing job he did on the transparency for the image, it doesn't make up for that the whole image is composed of about 3 shades of black. 04:41, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a just a rock. I don't really see it as a Featured image on the main page.
 * Oppose - It's just really boring. 06:06, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a just a rock. I don't really see it as a Featured image on the main page. 05:54, March 27, 2010 (UTC)Scoala12345
 * Oppose - Per Evil Yanks - nice, but dull. 09:59, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - If this ever gets featured I'm gonna rip my stomach apart then cook it on the oven and finally eat it. Then since I've got no stomach, the cycle repeats... Yeah, so it's pretty much like that. -- 13:35, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - There is like ten thousand rocks around runescape... This just doesn't look special at all. 12:02, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per all. 20:32, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess its all oppose, someone cancel this nomination, please? 15:09, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Still 3 days to go. Might as well wait for the nomination to end. 00:30, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
