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.

Hazelmere
Description: Hazelmere the ancient gnome reads the mind of the player character during The Eyes of Glouphrie.

Reason: Some quests are really neat in the ways they implement cutscenes, this one is no exception as the player is levitated above the ground and left helpless to an NPC's power. Also looks pretty cool.

 * Support - As nominator. 03:11, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Awesome detail and the colors are lovely. -- 12:16, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Your reason is totally correct, but I don't like the fact that the player is wielding a staff, which is dull brown, like the ladder, the net holders, etc. Further, I love the scenery, but because the focus is Hazelmere with the mind-ray (lol) and the player, it destracts me. How about the cut-off lamp to the right? It's a great image for the corresponding article, but not a image that is worthy to be featured on the main page, sorry. I hope you understand what I mean. 19:18, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - it only one player, the staff ruins it, not a image that looks to be a featured image =( -- 08:56, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It just looks odd. 09:34, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Great colours! 18:35, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Very awkward pose both characters are in. 06:41, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

The Flame Tapestry
Description: The Flame Tapestry in Zemouregal's base during The Curse of Arrav.

Reason: The lighting, angle are great and the colors great!!.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 06:27, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The angle just isn't right, and what are those things at the bottom?
 * Neutral - It looks great when enlarged, but ugly when it's small. Also, what are those things and the bottom? 08:04, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Usually, I would support this, but somethings I don't like, like the wall, and the white orbs at the bottom look like a few User:Hapi007 heads cut off. 10:22, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Ugly colours. 14:13, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per above -- 19:55, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Sloane
Description: A Hero of Strength

Reason: i been keeping it back for a bit, but i cant take it any more, this image i made a while ago is just epic, i worked on it for 3 hours, every detail it at it best, it is just epic, the blade detail just gives it it texture and the angle just makes it amazing, i cant say how amazing it is in any other way, it just...epic!

Expiry:


 * support- as a Nominator -- 12:00, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose _ I just don't like what the guy looks like. 14:12, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - The angle and detail are nice, but his mouth and shoulders (expecially the leftern one) look awkward. Also, you should change the description. 'A Hero of Heroes' is not very discriptive. 16:41, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I like the axe, but Sloane's beard looks terrible, and so does his outfit. So basically-No. -- 19:55, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Sciz -- 04:11, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Sciz. 08:24, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

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.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 00:06, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 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)

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 simmetric (except for the dirt to the left). You can see the strange things on the altar. And it's 4xAA. Click to enlarge.

 * Weak support - the only thing I don't like is the unrealistic water 02:25, March 27, 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 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)

Varrock West Bank
Description: Varrock's finest bank.

Reason: Image is very detailed, shows the majority of the bank, HD AA, etc etc.

 * Comment Your nomination doesn not count until you gave a description and a reason. You must also write 'Support as nominator [signature]' to complete your nomination. Please do this as fast as possible, thank you (I will support/oppose when you did that).
 * Hai lo, I was just waiting for User:Iiii I I I to nominate it. --Coolnesse 19:33, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak support - Nothing much in this picture, but the angle is ridiculously epic. 19:48, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It has good detail, but I just utterly dislike how the lights are 'floating' atop. Would be better if the cieling could be shown. 20:22, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a nice picture with great detail and a nice angle, but the lamps above are gold and brown, just like everything down, making it look like a mess.  Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  05:49, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The hovering lights ruin the photo for me. 06:33, March 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - The image appears to be perfectly positioned, so that you can very barely see that the lights are hanging from something other than the ceiling. THe colour combos are simply astounding, with the Gold showing off everything else. -- 16:10, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The image looks odd. 20:34, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * support - My Image Lol, it not aa by the way, cant afford a new graphic card , so it normal, but looks aa -- 21:27, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Support - A weird place to take picture of, but as Tien stated, great angle. 14:58, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - A bank to be featured ??? I know the image is good, but not much to be featured [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] BAHJY1 talk [[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]] 20:40, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 28 March 2010. 08:10, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

The Blood Pact
Description: A dark cult lurks beneath Lumbridge ....

Reason: Great shades of red that stand out in the shadowy background. I also like the way the picture is "stopped in motion". It's also very mysterious, and catch the interest. Even if the little torch is bugging me on the top-left, I believe this should be a FIMG. I think we should also have more featured quest images, because they cannot be seen a second time.

 * Support - As nominator. Yojeez 22:32, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Between medium and strong support - Erm... I took the image myself yesterday and it's already nominated! XD Anyway, I like your my pic, but I remember quickly clicking Prt Scr Sys Rq when the cutscene was already fading away, so it's a bit dark. But the torch you mentioned looks good with that darkness. Just like their clothes and plot; so Zamorakian! :) Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  06:58, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too small, nothing to see except a couple of npcs. Maybe if they were shown somewhere a little brighter doing something other than standing still. 21:14, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * You probably haven't noticed, but Reese and Caitlin (and thus Ilona) are walking. ;) Zaros symbol.svg Fswe1  Bandos_symbol.svg  06:57, March 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong support - its awsome 22:41, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - It truly shows what a dark and mysterious land runescape is as well as the typical situation of the damsel in distress needing to be rescued, I love it Fury 133 08:30, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's a might too dark and gloomy in there, and it doesn't really have enough detail. -- 16:10, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - per Scizor 00:35, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Fishing Guild
Description: Players fishing at the Fishing Guild.

Reason:Graphic Update, i got the exactly the same angle as old one, look nicer with a new one

Current image: File:Fishing guild.Png + Nomination

Expiry:
 * Support as a Nominator - 19:48, March 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - This image isn't used on the Mainspace. In addition to that, it doesn't contain the same colours and activeness of the other one. -- 19:55, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - What is there to feature? Seems like an overall boring image with some nasty fog up top. 08:25, March 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose - I kinda like the image, but the fog at the top ruins it. 15:40, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Why shouldn't historical images be featured? Btw, I don't think this is a valid nomination because the image is not used in an article. Anyway, the old one's better because it shows what people do while fishing; not only fishing but also walking their ibis and being poisoned, for example. This is pretty dull and uninteresting. And then the fog... Sorry, but the only thing I like in the image is the water, plus the fishint spots. 16:30, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
