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.

Lumbridge Swamp
Description: The gloomy swamp south of Lumbridge.

Reason: It's a detailed image with a dreary atmosphere that perfectly fits the location. The weeping willows and the fog in the distance add to the effect, and I love how the back of the shed fades away in the fog.

 * Comment - Unfortunately, you can see where I did the Thanksgiving emote :\ -- 23:08, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Where?? I can't see it?? 02:44, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * See the tail feathers? -- 02:48, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - The beige colored sky make it look a little odd, how it just cuts off from the ground/hills. And some rat butt going on there >_<. But overall I don't think I like this image enough to be on the main page or to be featured. 02:20, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * oppose - It has a dull tone to it, especially with the water, the pure gray sky is making it more dull, and it has a smelly tail in it ;) 23:22, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I have always liked the Swamp's great graphics and I think this image shows its beauty very well. 19:57, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - SPOOKEH! 01:46, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 9 February 2010. 08:51, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Mage Training Arena
Description: The mystic training site for mages.

Reason: Nice detail and angle.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 22:50, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I was thinking of nominating this, but it looks like someone got to it before me. It's a beautiful image that depicts an awe-inspiring and historical piece of architecture. I think the angle could be better though. 22:53, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I was just about to replace it, but now it can't be changed... -- 23:25, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - I like it, nice detail, and looks really elegant, but it's sort of at a bad angle, and the left side is cut off to a point in which I feel close to opposing... [[File:Astral Rune.PNG]] Jhanely  [[File:Soul Rune.PNG]] 01:35, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Stunning image with a nice view of the entire front of the structure. -- 02:56, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Would anyone be up to the task of replacing this image with a version that has more of a central view? It would certainly look better (symmetry and all) than the current angle that we have now.  13:18, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Just uploaded a new one. -- 20:54, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks much nicer, now this is a cool looking image. 23:27, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support-Good detail, especially two rune obelisk things on either side. Liking the angle as well. -- 02:06, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
