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 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.
 * 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.

Dragon battleaxe
Description: No description given.

Reason: Shows the Dragon Battle Axe special attack at a wonderful angle.


 * Support - As nominator C0smic 03:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Somehow reminds me of Braveheart 05:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Image width reduced to 175px, as the height exceeded 200px. 12:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Next week we feature the amazing dragon longsword special. Raarrrrrggggghhhhhh! 23:55, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose It... just does not seem right to feature a special attack... 14:44, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - What's wrong with featuring a special attack? Its a great image of it, and one of the more 'obvious' special attacks (excalibur/enhanced excalibur's is similar too). 11:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - This is teh pwnage -- 17:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Underground Pass
Description: No description.

Reason: Eye-catching and detailed Underground Pass picture. Also because we need more game client pictures.


 * Support- As nominator. Mensilater 06:16, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The detail in the lighting makes it seem dangerous, which it is. And look at those spikes! 13:08, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Makes Underground Pass look pretty damn dangerous quest. =D (Why does it have a crop template?) 13:18, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - A nice spooky image for a nice spooky quest. Also I removed the crop template, it must have snuck in there accidentiallly when I was doing a lot of image tagging.  19:43, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Great lightning, great fog, great place, great picture. Nice job! 14:46, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Makes me want to do the quest again. 11:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Ancient Cavern
Description: No description.

Reason: Several monsters and surroundings of the Ancient Cavern catched in one picture. Nice lighting and details.


 * Support- As nominator. -- 14:10, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - You can really see anything from the thumbnail, maybe it needs cropping? 19:46, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - It's a thumbnail, like you said. Click on it ;) 23:35, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Without the hits can be ok--Dindirindin 15:12, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support It is a great picture, and it captures the epic atmosphere of the Ancient Cavern. Mithril Dragons FTW! 20:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Slight support - Like Dindirindin said, the hit-splats spoil the picture. 11:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I just don't think this image is well sized. I undestand that the bigger version looks better, but I don't want this thumbnail on the main page because you have to squint to see anything. I think this image could be changed to look better, but not in its current form.  23:05, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Penguin Hide and Seek
Description: No description.

Reason: Great detail in the image is given. Shows a hidden spy in the area.


 * Support- As nominator. -- 22:35, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This spy is just hidden to well. If this penguin is sticking his beak or feet out of the barrel, the picture would be eye-catching. Now it's not + it doesn't illustrate the article content very well. 23:55, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - IT's hard to see what is this image about. --Dindirindin 15:10, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Yes, he's too well hidden - having his head sticking out would give it the comical edge needed to be featured. 11:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It's an excellent idea but in this picture he's too well hidden. If his head was sticking out it would be perfect -- 17:06, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Avatar of Destruction
Description: The essence of ruination, vying for control of the Soul Obelisk.

Reason: This is a really nice, clean, pic, taken from the popular new minigame.


 * Support- As nominator. 23:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support- Awsome pic and really clear. --Dindirindin 15:08, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - one of the best monster pictures I've seen. 11:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Awesome picture! My compliments to the maker. Who could it be?--. 14:00, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikifest
Description: The Wikifest is a seasonal wiki community event held in-game for members of the RuneScape Wiki [Description too long; must fit the Main Page.]

Reason: This pic would be a nice way to advertise our upcoming Wikifest.


 * Support- As nominator. I'd like to see if we could fast track this image so we can get it up before the wikifest. 00:30, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose It is in SD, and it looks like a big spamfest. 14:55, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose As much as its good advertising, I agree with 4ndrepd, its SD and spammy. 11:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - This image is not used in mainspace. 11:27, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Trollweiss Mountain Valley
Description: No description.

 A view over the edge of the snowy Trollweiss Mountain 

Reason: A image representing the other side of Runescape - The rarely visited snowy north.


 * Support- As nominator.15:47, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - This is a nice picture. It shows off the snow nicely.  I'm guessing it will make people think, "oh yeah, I remember that place, it had nice graphical effects".  23:08, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - Its a good pic, however I think it could be a bit bigger. 09:36, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Would this second version be better? 20:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Second version removed. A different image would require another nomination. Either update the existing image, or re-nominate. 11:27, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Aviansie
Description: One of the most graceful characters in Runescape. [Description biased; please revise.]


 * Support - As nominator. Very good quality
 * Oppose - the AA problem is too significant, if it can get fixed I'd support it. 01:02, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Changing the AA made a big difference, this looks good to me. 18:34, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Image size reduced to 150px, as the image is too large in height. 12:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support It is clearly very nice. One of the most gracious being that ever held foot on Gielinor
 * Oppose - Its too fuzzy around the edges, puts me off. 11:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I just don't like this picture to be honest. Quality's a bit dodgy. -- 17:09, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
