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.

Statistics
Total images: 34

Ectofuntus
Description - The Spooky Ectofuntus, glowing with the aura of death. A spooky place where ectoplasm is gathered.

Reason - It's a very detailed picture, complete with the disciples and Necrovaus (sp?). Again, large image - best appreciated in detail.


 * Support - as nom. Wow, third nomination o_O 16:50, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The image is to easy to get and the ectofuntus is too centrated, the angle of the shot is not the best
 * Comment - aura of death????? wtf
 * There's no need to flip out - I said that because you use Bones and Slime on the Ectofuntus - where do you get bones from? Dead things.
 *  Neutral Oppose - Even though it is very detailed, I don't like the big green blob (the Ectofuntus itself) in the middle. 18:29, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Per Oli4burggraa. 23:00, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - It's dark a mysterious... You don't need to capitalize "Spooky" though -- 04:00, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Description changed. 10:06, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - The glow on the figure is nice; there is a nice balance between dark and light. 23:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Bloodveld
Description - The tongue of evil.

Reason - It's so detailed and real looking it truly captures the scariness of it that was intended by Jagex


 * Support - As nom - 04:06, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - I like it but its a bit normal. Doesn't really show anything. 09:16, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - It might be nice to have a background, but it does look quite good alone. 23:34, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Isafdar
Description - The magical elven forest.

Reason - I think it is a very touching picture, encouraging users to read the article.


 * Support - As nominator and screenshot taker. 23:08, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I like that, its a very nice pic. --Degenret01 23:19, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Slight support - Looks good... but Isafdar could be shown a bit better, as is shown with the elfess image. Still a good image though. 23:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * This shows more isafdar then that Elfess. 23:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - Could be taken at a better place, different angle and more variety in the scenery. 23:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - What do you mean by "more variety in the scenery"? This picture has cyan like magical grass, waterlillies, mushrooms, butterflies, bears, and more animals. An even a place with water. SO, Sorry I don't agree with your comment Elf. 00:33, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It feels like I miss something on the horizon . Maybe I watch the details to much nowadays, I'll stop with that. 00:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Ask Jagex to add clouds and we will be fine =) lol, Joking :P. Thank you Elf for your feedback ;). (Offtopic: really liked your coral reef image) 01:17, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - It's nice, I agree - it would've been better without you in the way.
 * Oppose - It's boring. We need less area images, they're starting to look all the same -- 04:00, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline extended 1 week to 27 June 2009. 16:43, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Per Requiem. 16:53, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - As Requiem1160 said: it would "be better without you in the way" and a little bit darker would be nice

Aviansie (2)
Description - Graceful, bird-like creature.

Reason - I think it is a very nice picture. The detail of it and transparacy makes it a featured image.


 * Support - As nominator 14:42, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - A very detailed image deserves the main page. 14:52, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - This image is almost identical to an image nominated in April 2009. Click here for that nomination. 16:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Per all -- 04:00, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Notice of intent - Deadline extended 1 week to 28 June 2009. 10:06, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support It's simply great 17:15, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support I've tryed to put the aviansie image once (the old one) ... I just love that npc

TzTok-Jad (2) and Guthix (2)


Previous nomination: Delisting and replacement archive

Reason: These images were not taken from RuneScape game client, and are used under "Fair use". These were one of the first few images to be featured on the Main Page. Now that we have about 30+ images, I think it is time that we removed them.


 * Support - as nominator. 16:55, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Jad, Neutral about Guthix - I never liked Jad's image anyways. You can't even see him very well. The Guthix image is nice (maybe replace it with an image of Guthix during Meeting History?). 17:15, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If you have the image, please nominate it in "Nominations for replacement". Thanks. 17:18, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support both - Per nominator; they really were only kept as there wasn't many featured images at the time. Now there's more we should apply the rules to them, and delist them. 18:18, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Both - Finally!
 * Support both - per Azliq. 08:37, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support both - per nom. 10:16, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support both Sorry, but they were always a bit... I dunno. They just didn't seem well. Especially Guthix.
 * Support both - For the reason explained in the description
 * Support both - Per nom. 00:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Zanik


Reason: In my opinion, the image doesn't diserve to have a place in the first page...The quality seems like its 2nd category.


 * Support - As nominator
 * Weak Support - It's true, the quality of this picture can't match the quality of the others now, but I still <3 Zanik.
