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.

Contents

[edit] 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.
  • Anonymous user votes are generally disregarded as sockpuppet votes.
  • 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] How to nominate

[edit] Note to nominators

  • The description should describe the image itself, and not be biased. Note that the description appears on the Main Page.
  • Be creative. Descriptions such as "A picture of..." and "A view of..." are 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.

[edit] How to vote

  • Support - Nice image, It would be nice to be able to see that death rune better, if someone gets a chance. Tollerach talk 20:53, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - Great image, represents a fun part of the game. Brilliant! ↁƗҼƧ  ♣ ỈƦẲ 23:31, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - Nice detailed image of a popular NPC. ElfAnurin File:Scythe.PNG . 16:51, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - Its not often that an NPC can be so interesting to look at.  Psycho Robot Talk Cont File:Guthix vrobe top.png 01:56, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - Per all  Manyman TalkEditSign!  06:57, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - That looks great! And the death rune is a nice touch. --
    Ooh, shiny!
    Mister Craftsman!     23:12, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - I like it a lot. It is very recognisable for all players. Because Zaros pwns the others. Oli4burggraa TalkBecause I hate The Great Orb Project so much. 22:14, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - Per Oli, shows great quality of a familiar friend Smile File:Quest-cape-inv.png Lil Diriz 77 T C E 04:20, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Neitiznot

Description: The Neitiznot town centre.
Reason: I just see the beauty in the town from this angle and so much reminds me of the first time I came to the islands.
Expiry: 3 days to go

  • Support - As nominator. 172N-1.pngRT1 Aka Twigy.I'm a Elven goddess 08:15, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - Has nice details in it, nothing really sticks out of the image, just the whole image. Muzzy34 12:33, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - What a quiet town... I like it Smile Image:Dragon_claws.png Vox Maximuz (Gragon 126) - Talk - Sign!Image:Runecrafting.gif‎ 15:38, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
  • Oppose - I have no idea what I am looking at; I personally have never been in Neitznot while in the game, and yet it looks the same as many other places; I though at first this was Void Knight outpost and only found out when I read the title, and there is nothing special about this image. If the gazer waz erupting, then I guess it would be a weak support, but otherwise, NO! --Porp1 15:41, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - BlushWink  Manyman TalkEditSign!  06:58, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

  • Support - It is pure tranquility. Because Zaros pwns the others. Oli4burggraa TalkBecause I hate The Great Orb Project so much. 22:16, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
  • Neutral - Per above, it is a very nice image, but it just seems... bland. There's nothing happening. I would probably like it better if the geyser was spouting and a player was chopping wood on the stump or something. File:Quest-cape-inv.png Lil Diriz 77 T C E 04:21, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Per Lil diriz 77. This image is missing some more life. ElfAnurin File:Scythe.PNG . 08:10, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

  • Support - The only way that it could be improved was if there was a triceratops in the picture. Image:Groundunicornhorn.PNG Evil Yanks talk 09:38, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - Per all, and triceratops FTW!!!!!--Porp1 11:06, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
