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 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 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.
 * Be creative. Description such as "A picture of..." is not acceptable.
 * 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.

Jade vine maze
Description: A player exploring the depths of the Jade vine maze. Reason: It's a nice image, it might be too busy, but it (again) shows the beauty of RSHD.


 * Support - As nominator.--. 15:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Without the man can be ok. Why has to be a man inside??.--Dindirindin 19:36, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * comment - That 'man' is the guy who took the image ¬¬ 11:24, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * comment - yes, but u can take the image without be inside
 * Comment - I think S/he means that Hapi could have used the Thanksgiving Emote and took a picture when he dissapeared. I will hopefully be re-uploading a non-grainy, anti-aliased picture of this area without me in the way, perhaps this will help. Requiem1160 21:41, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Pending, leaning towards Support - It's a nice shot, showcasing some of RuneScape's flora rather well. It does seem a little bit busy; not to the point where it detracts from the image immensely, but it does a little bit. I'm going to wait a bit and see if Requiem does upload that image and take a look at that before making my final decision. -- 15:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Bandos' throne room
Description: Zanik, standing in the Bandos' throne room Reason: Nice angle, it shows the Bandos room really well. If it's possible, I can take a picture of a player, instead of Zanik.


 * Support - As nominator.--. 15:45, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Awesome angle, and the shadows make it look epic! 11:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Brightness and colour has been improved. 05:08, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Epic indeed. The shadows are amazing, the angle is perfect, and you just get that feel that something spectatular is about to happen. Wonderful. -- 15:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Awsome image, angle, and shadows make the image amazing. --Dindirindin 20:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Support Awesome image of bandos's throne room. 10:10, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Runeueins 10:25, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - My earlier brightness and colour improvement did not update (due to the Image bug in Wikia?). Re-uploaded the improved image.  15:09, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Well of Voyage
Description: The Well of Voyage, the gateway to Tirannwn. Reason: A great image featuring the Well of Voyage. Good quality. I thought that it'd be a good image to feature.


 * Support - as nom. 15:30, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Awesome image! 15:40, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Support - cool pic, best on page.
 * Support - That's a beautiful image. 02:30, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - This is astounding lighting! Great textures, too. -- 14:33, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Water altar
Description: The Water Runecrafting Altar, where players can craft their own water runes. Reason: This picture showcases RuneScape's dynamic shadows, flora and its beautiful water. It provides a contrast to Standard Detail and you can see how much RuneScape has improved in the High Detail update.


 * Support - As nominator. 09:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Good looking textures, great shadowing, and some lovely work with the water on the top-left area of the screen. It's a great shot. -- 14:33, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Jiggig
Description: The Zogres at Jiggig. Reason: Most of our featured pics are of places, this is mainly the monsters.


 * Support - As nominator. 09:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Catherby (3)
Description: Players fishing on the beach of Catherby Reason: Nice angle, great quality and yet many things to discover in this calm picture. (It's called Catherby(3) because 2 previous nomations about Catherby were unsuccesfull.


 * Support as nominator 18:12, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Great Textures, not crowded like the other 2, wonderful angle and an all round nice Picture Requiem1160 20:55, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - We have had too many nominations involving catherby, and this pic is fairly plain. It is beginning to be unoriginal. C0smic 05:44, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I'm getting sick of Catherby images. Catherby is just a boring city! We have to wait for it's graphical makeover.--. 16:06, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Awsome image, great quality... I think people hate catherby...--Dindirindin 19:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - While this is, by far, the best image of Catherby nominated so far, it still doesn't look particuarlly pleasing, and there's something... off with that water puddle in which the Obsilik is standing; it just doesn't seem natural. -- 15:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - This is one of the best image what I ever see from Catherby. Good angle, not crowded...Fullmoney91 08:47, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Voting period extended another week until 17 May 2009. 07:59, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
