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.

Zaros' Face


Description: The hidden face of Empty Lord.

Reason: In my opinion, it is the best chathead image ever! And also there is no a chathead featured image...

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. Felipebrs 00:13, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - im not sure chatheads count, cuz they might b 2 small or something idk, but if this does count i support. 00:46, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Not that great of an image really. 00:53, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It indeed looks quite cool, but on the other hand, it's a chathead, which is a small image thus making it very bland. 06:27, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Look at the symbol on his head, its covering the left eye. 14:07, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Per Fswe. 17:17, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Technically it's his right eye that's covered :p 04:03, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks really good to me. And super technically, the image was reversed once and that is/was his left eye. 04:16, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's just a tiny, under-detailed chathead. 14:15, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Let's go with one of Jagex's better graphics ;) 21:16, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Per Fswe. --Coolnesse 01:50, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Zanaris
Description: The colourful plants of the fairy kingdom.

Reason: The flowers look vibrant and colorful and the picture is quite detailed.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. Jack05 02:06, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 *  Oppose Change to Slight oppose - The fog doesn't fit, and the flowers are too blocky. 04:03, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It looks cool, but I'd like to see the houses of the fairies and not think: "What are these tree stumps?" And it really needs AA. 07:00, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - You cut it too early, if you can get that little extra bit at the bottom you get my support. 19:07, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppse - Per Fswe1.  05:29, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * extreamly strong support - AA ruins images, we dont want that here. this is one of the best images on rs, the fairy houses would RUIN it and make the place look crouded. the flowers, mushrooms, road, and grass are amazing. 15:03, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please tell me, why do you think that anti-aliasing ruins images? It makes the pixels a lot smoother making the image look better and not pixelated. At least, in my opinion. 17:25, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * i prefer pixelated to blurry. 17:38, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, OK. 17:45, May 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - I think the blocky-ness is charming. The angle is awesome; there's a background and a foreground with everything in between. Leftiness 18:23, May 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I don't see why anyone would support this. It's just a few flowers. 12:24, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - It's a colorful landscape shot from an interesting knee-level angle. Personally, I'd like to see FIMG move away from symmetric shots of altars and transparent shots of bosses; this is a fine example with no symmetry, no transparency, and no players interrupting the serenity. The layering is nice; the only slight issue I have with the whole shot is the gray fog in the far background. Leftiness 03:13, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - I think it's a nice image of Zanaris. It captures the new look after the graphical update. 19:02, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - No comment to make 13:50, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong support - Greaaaaaat. --Coolnesse 21:10, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Some of the scenery seems to be missing, hmmm 21:05, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination extended until June 6, 2010. 01:30, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Pretty - Erm, support. I like it :) 21:16, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Prettier - A great landscape view.  05:34, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Frost Dragon
Description: The Legendary Frost Dragon.

Reason: It looks good and it's one of the newly updated dragons.

Expiry:

(UTC)
 * Support - As nominator. 12:41, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Your reason is correct, but I don't like the angle. And uhm... zoom in on his wing and head. Some awkward colours! 15:37, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * weak support - i dont like the new dragons, but i do like the angle of this 1. looks realistic. 16:04, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It's left-hand wing is horribly angled... it covers the most of the body. I think a view inbetween side and frontal would be nice. 05:31, May 23, 2010
 * Neutral - Per Lil. 19:54, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Terrible angle. 12:25, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Fix the angle and I will support 100% 13:51, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong support - Best angle I have ever seen. --Coolnesse 21:10, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seriously? 18:25, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - There is a lot of white space in the top right corner. 21:06, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination extended until June 6, 2010. 01:30, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Gluttonous behemoth
Description: An always hungry species of the Behemoth race.

Reason: Look at it! The transparency has been done very good, the whole body is visible and he looks frightening; don't come close or I'll eat you. I just couldn't refuse nominating it, knowing that it'll fail. Good luck, not-so-little monster!

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 17:24, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per the polygons in the image. 19:53, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I like it, pretty sure he's supposed to be 'icy' and the polygons give is a nice touch. 07:57, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The detail is nice, but the creature is simply ugly. 12:27, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * support - yea, it is ugly, but its a good images and featured images not a monster beauty pageant 13:52, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not what I meant by ugly. What I meant is that it looks bad, and that is certainly a criterion. 14:34, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Waaaayyyy too blocky 13:52, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Detailed, but I can't really see it on the Main Page. --Coolnesse 21:10, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Nomination extended until June 6, 2010. 01:30, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Otherworldly being
Description: A creature that's out of this world!

Reason: It uses one of those animations that happens every so often. Has a nice angle. And shows the new look of the Otherworldly being.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 07:54, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 90% Support - The pose is awesome, but I could have done the transparency better. Don't have to explain further, do I, Evil1888? Suspicious outsider detail.png 09:04, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I fixed the trans, no splotches anywhere. 09:07, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not what I meant... I meant the edges due to anti-aliasing. 11:09, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Ugly. 12:29, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * neutral - its an amazing monster, untill u see the super long and weird looking hand.... 13:49, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Ewwwwwwwwwww. This is worse than 3i+1's eye. :O 19:17, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * ewwwwwww a liquid helmet -- 21:24, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * You're not allowed to strike my vote out.  23:20, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Where does it say that? -- 23:47, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * The smelly guy's got a point... 12:38, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - This picture has nothing wrong with it and at this angle and stance, it is a worthy candidate. 00:12, May 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - FINGERS!!!! We don't have any FIMGs with those!!! (plus I partook in a earlier version) 00:44, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * File:Death.png  05:59, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * those could be bleached dried macaroni for all we know  23:52, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sir Amik Varze laugh.gif Fairynuffdetail.png noes 05:37, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong Support - We need more monster/npc images with quality similar to this. 13:54, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks nice. Ajraddatz Talk 14:00, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - Sadly, I like the old Otherworldly Being better... --Coolnesse 21:10, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Ahh! No head! Weird arm! 20:55, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - ^same reasons as above. 21:08, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - per Coolnesse 13:46, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - As per any support, as well as the fact that you dont catch to many perfect moments like these 04:10, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline of nomination extended by a week to 7 June 2010. 01:47, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Do transparency correctly and i'll support. :) Felipebrs 15:16, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please tell me, what's wrong with it? I can't btw, as I didn't save the original image, but went straight to the trans. 17:14, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Gu'tanoth


Reason: the ogre is in a strange position, the lava sticks out in a stupid looking way, and the fog is terrible. if people want featured images of ogres, we can get a much better one then this.

Original nomination: runescape:featured images/archive2#gu'tanoth

Expiry:


 * Support - as nom. 20:15, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose - The ogre's "strange position" is simply the way of the ogres - brutality. I see nothing wrong with the lava, nor the fog, in my opinion. I like this cultural image. 23:12, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - This is tough. I wanted to nominate this for delisting myself for the fog and the lava and the cut-of things. But I see that Lil Diriz 77 is partly right. Still, it's very bland in the middle. 06:25, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Diriz 12:44, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Great image, other than the fog. 13:25, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * comment - if u want a image of ogres, can i get 1 thats hundreds of times better then this no problem.... and idk why we need 2 have a image of every race on rs, but as i said, if u want it.. *sigh* 14:59, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Just adding a link, as this was already nominated for delisting. RuneScape:Featured images/archive-delisting  17:49, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * ok, i get it. this image is terrible, but since it has ogres in it it must stay- but cant we at least replace it with a better image? without the damn fog? 20:41, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per Lil diriz. 00:17, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - A terrible-looking image with a terrible angle. 17:46, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Massive Support - I'm sorry to argue like this, But have you seen the quality of some of the recent images that got declined recently for there being one small mishap such as an item not being centered or a small corner cut off by fog? This image is terrible, I don't know what Lil Diriz 77 is thinking, the fog just throws the dagger in the heart of this picture. The quality is ok, but has abysmal angles and terrible use of fog. 13:58, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Gigantic support (bigger than Gradius's support) - This is just a terrible image. Period. The quality is atrocious, and you cannot see the subject of the picture clearly at all. Definitely not FIMG-worthy. 23:22, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per diriz, but this is one of my fave images on the entire wiki. Perhaps it can be reshot at least? D: Coelacanth0794 00:54, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Extreme Strong oppose - Per Diriz, and this image is also scenery, so where's the problem? --Coolnesse 01:43, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Im just getting highly frustrated now... "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." FIMGs should contain quality and should, upon viewing, making the user feel the "Wow" factor. Basically, The user should be able to see an image, think "Wow!" and then take their time to read the article. Take a look at the archives, and I will guarantee you that atleast 70% of the images that have been declined within the last 6 months are of significant quality compared to this one. Some of those images got declined for having specific elements of the image being of poor standard. One thing I can think of is the fact that some subjects are cut off at the end of the picture, I can see an orge on the left hand side of this one being cut off. Then there is the fog, Take a look at some of the Daemonheim pictures that have been declined due to a little bit of fog. This picture's fog looks terrible, Its like having a white backdrop in the background. Finally, my third and final issue is the lack of a subject... The ogre who is meant to be the subject, doing an gorilla like pose, is almost at the end. I'm sorry to argue, but this image is awful, I don't know why exactly it should be kept, if you could clarify why, Then maybe... 12:49, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * same. i really am having a hard time believing this- i thought after so many wonderfull imagese where rejected for a small cut off or a bit of non symetricalness or something like that, this wouldnt stand a chance. we shouldnt judge the featured image on what it is of, but of how good an image it is. maby u like ogres, but, rather then support any image with ogres in it, we should ask our selves if we cannot get a better ogre image, or even if we need a ogre image at all. oh, and coolness, just cuz its scenery does not mean it should be a feature image. do u have any idea how many scenery images where rejected? 14:06, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * You should re-think your criticism. Don't you see how many images that have been ACCEPTED even though they have flaws? If this image has an extremely minor one, then I don't think it should be disposed of ASAP. Sometimes, you're into perfectionism too much. --Coolnesse 20:12, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Woah, Hang on... TINY?! flaws? I'm sorry, But EVERYTHING is wrong with this picture, And I will agree that some images have flaws, but that is why there is like 4 nominations for delisting going on at the moment? Face it, This image is TERRIBLE... 20:21, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I like it. --Coolnesse 20:32, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - Per Gradius. 14:23, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Gradius and 3rd age caster 10:22, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Enlarged - Up to the time that (a condition becomes true) the sixth day of the sixth month of the Gregorian calendar, the 10th year of the 3rd millennium/MMX/the common year that started on a Friday. -- 22:16, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Eh-- excuse me...?  12:43, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, Our English illiterate friend here means:
 * Extended - Deadline for the nomination extended until the 6th June 2010. 21:12, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I... see... sorta... 05:28, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Enchanted Valley
Description: The mysterious valley of the centaurs.

Reason: This image is shows more of the valley and is more interesting than just a waterfall.

Expiry:


 * Support - As nominator. 14:56, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Per Camoninja12. And... My image! :) Felipebrs 15:12, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I like the waterfall more than two centaurs, a wood dryad, a stag, a rock and some trees. Of course, they do look great. Perhaps we could feature both? 16:43, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Extremely strong oppose - Why the hell would I support two ugly centaurs replacing an awesome waterfall image? 18:07, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
