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.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. Bahjy1 12:02, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I don't like this image. I like the outfit itself, but this image... Not at all worthy of being a FIMG. It just doesn't have that feel, and certainly not the detail of a FIMG. 15:37, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not FI quality -- 22:58, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * If this is the ghost of FI present, then the future is "nomination closed unsuccessful" -- 16:26, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Had to be stretched to reach 250px. -- 23:01, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It shows someone wearing bedsheets and chains. Sorry, but no.
 * Oppose - A guy wearin' some sheets. Olol. 04:50, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - What Diriz said. 17:03, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per all. 17:05, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Needs a better quality. 01:14, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm on it! (as soon as this finishes) 04:12, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

2009 Christmas event
Description: Delicious food.

Reason: A feast with Santa in it. How much more cheerful can it get?

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. Scykei 05:40, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - No anti-aliasing, there are other people on it, Santa's a bit weird on it. 13:43, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - But change the image to something like, "A fabulous feast with even better food!" Or something like that. -- 15:39, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I actually thought about nominating this one, but then looked at it, and didn't like how much was here; this is a big mess. Bah, humbug!!! -- 17:31, December 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * If there are less players, I might support though-- 17:46, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I like it, it's a very happy image, with a nice festive theme  01:16, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - I like the feel of the image, but I think that it should have no players (to illustrate the event) or, what I would prefer, a whole load of players. That would make the image more lively, just like the events are. 17:54, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

River Lum
Description: The bridge connecting what the Lum separated.

Reason: great detail on bridge and water.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 00:45, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It's a nice picture, godd quality, and the angle is OK. Good Job.  19:35, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's just a bridge...  01:18, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The angle is awkward, and it's not special. I like images that focus on something that everyone encounters every day and thus forgets, but this is just... A bridge. 17:55, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Lumbridge
Description: A Musician, maybe the first one seen by new players.

Reason: gives tranquil feeling.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nom-nom-nominator. 01:04, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It's a nice calm picture of Lumbridge, even the awesome musical dude :P
 * Oppose - I hate the angle. The house makes people focus on one side of the image, which makes the subject fade away. 17:56, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Snow globe
Description: The miniature castle of Lumbridge.

Reason: Minis are teh awsomez!

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 00:03, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - It's a cool image and all but I really don't think it represents what RuneScape has to offer, sorry. -- 03:22, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It was hard to find a good background, but I think it looks awesome. . 17:45, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I don't like the background, and it doesn't have that FIMG 'feel' to me. 17:59, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Fremennik Isles
Description: The first spot a player visit at the "JayNay" islands.

Reason: good detail with dock, water and boat;.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 23:40, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Love the image, but the player has to be abducted before I can give a full support. 01:20, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Looks too gray and dull. No offense Porp, but why don't you just carefully look for really good images in the wiki that meet the quality standards of a featured image? (Instead of mass-nominating pictures, like you did). I know it sounds a bit rude, but that's my suggestion.  01:26, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, images go through a long process in my head before nominating them; I think about what you guys might say, and there are TONS of rejects; some are A, B, and C. This image I happened to like, and wasn't the least bit iffy about. To me it wasn't dull and gray, but vivid sapphire with a thin gray strip, but the stripe is full of memory. So that is all from me -- 02:16, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think the brown and blue blend in a bit too well, which makes the grey strip look very strange... I just don't like this image. 18:00, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Fremennik Spiritual Realm
Description: I've seen it. Yet, returned to tell about it... (does not describe the image)

Description: A place of peace and harmony, where spirits of the passed away Fremennik rest.

Reason: It's just awesome...

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 11:54, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Its not everyday you get to go to heaven and live to tell the tale right? -- 15:11, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - :O what happened to the previous nom? -- 21:43, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Long story. :P 07:24, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It has a beautiful, foggy feel to it. It almost makes me subscribe to do this quest and see this. 22:01, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Changed to Oppose - The pillar ruins it. Maybe if you could get it from another angle, so that the pillar isn't in the middle like this, it would be better. 15:27, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - Per Nuparu 22:04, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Question - Truly sorry if I'm wrong, but was this one changed during the nomination? Or is this a whole new one?
 * It's OK. It actually was changed during nomination, or actually, after it was removed... The thing is, the previous one didn't qualify, as it wasn't in an article. I made a new one, put it in an article and viola. It's a "whole new one" in it's own right. :P 07:24, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I love the fog and peace in this image. 19:00, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The fog annoys me, and the pillar in the middle looks bad. -- 16:22, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Its a lovly setting yea the pillar ruins it a bit but admire it. 21:35, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 31 December 2009. 07:13, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's not very clear what's shown on the image. I think this place is too unknown to be featured. . 14:11, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Too unknown? That's exactly why it should be featured. 13:09, December 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - I know, on the last image I said I'd support if you got rid of the little red flower, but I think we need a totaly new image of Fremennik heaven. Different angle, edit out flowers, etc. Tbh, this one looks a little bit.. ruined, now? 14:19, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Great image, just abit to foggy 17:01, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Blood Runs Deep
Description: The brutal Fremennik armada.

Reason: Good detail and angle.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 23:52, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Really great angle, and shows the power of the Fremmenik. However, I don't like the description :p What do you say about "Fremmeniks' warriors prepare for battle against the mighty daggermouths." ? Yojeez 04:28, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Off to fight the Athenian Navy! -- 13:21, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - I like it. It's a very good looking image. But... I don't know, I don't think it's "Featured image material", of so to say. There's something that's annoying me about this whole thing. 12:31, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It is really obvious where the fog is since it cuts some of the boats in half... 01:11, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think it's too crowded. 15:31, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Thats a nice image Hd and it a nice angle! 21:45, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - To ARMS! -- 02:54, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - This! Is! RELEKKA! 04:47, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 2 January 2010. 03:48, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - A great image that shows the 'Strength' of the Fremennik. -- 22:14, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Great image, the mist in the backround really adds to it! 17:00, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - A VIKING RAID! CALL THE SOLDIERS! 03:05, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Great angle and lighting oh and This is madness. No. THIS IS SPARTA RELEKKA!!! 04:14, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Rune Essence mine
Description: The legendary stone mined for the creation of runes.

Reason: Nice angle, gives mystic feeling.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 23:57, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Hawt. -- 00:50, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Epic. Sign4sign
 * Oppose MY EYES ARE BLEEDING!!!!!! if this becomes a featured image, I will rip out my esophagus and eat it! -- 14:49, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * ... -- 14:51, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Rip- Camoninja12's esophagus -- 17:20, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment & Epic-Mega-King-OMG Support - @ Camoninja12: No need to hold grudges with porp because he said that to you and opposed your image(even though your image was terrible).
 * Oppose I don't like it. Too much white, no details can be seen.
 * Support - Love it 23:21, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Holy Cabbage Oppose - I'm looking at oddly shaped dung with some snow and ashes on the ground. Also, the outer walls are too "Jagex's models"-ish, they're.. jagged, they don't look realistic. Praying for Camoninja's esophagus up there^ 05:27, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * ''' Score so far is support 5, oppose 3 -- 11:05, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * We don't count votes, we look at arguments. 15:32, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - It looks good. It has a nice, calm feel about it, but it also has nice detail and colours. 15:32, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Looks odd cut off at the bottom there, and on the whole it is an awkward looking image.  18:15, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Mega Oppose - The prospect of an image is good, but this one really takes the Cabbage. It is horribly off-center, focuising on the snow behind it, and it looks as if the mine is some scenery in the way. No way. -- 02:54, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It looks horrible. There's nothing special about this place. . 14:07, December 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * weak Support- The angle is amazing, like your being pulled into the shot, but the image is a little blurry and could use some zooming-in. otherwise, great pic. :) 03:33, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline for nomination extended by a week to 2 January 2009. 03:48, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - This could be a great image, just centre it 16:59, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 *  Big Oppose - per Scizor, it's really off center and the walls in the back aren't balanced in size. Looks really bad to me. 23:43, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Water altar
Reason: The angle is better to me, and it's more balanced.

Expiry:

Previous image: File:Water altar inside.png

Previous nomination: RuneScape:Featured images/archive3


 * Support - As nominator. -- 00:31, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Anything supported by the the robot earns an instant support by me. -- 04:18, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Was there a new "Worship the Robot" prayer included in the recently added Ancient Curses? lol.  05:32, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, but there should be one. 05:55, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose - The fog in the background annoys me. 12:35, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I think the past version has a little bit more detail, and shows just the altar, not the sky. 21:43, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The perfectly straight horizon which splits blue and white seems unnatural. Per above. 05:32, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Lil Diriz. . 14:09, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Good point on the unnaturally straight split between sky and sea. Kinda creepy... 14:21, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose- the altar looks good, but the fog horizon is an eye catcher and distracts the viwer from the actual water altar. 19:39, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The angle of the current version is much better also per Stormsaw 16:57, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Ssswizmig 01:30, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * support - You know what? everybody is opposing, and I'll try to lighten this up a little. TROLL ME!!!! -- 04:10, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
