19:57, June 22, 2018 (UTC) - Support, but - File:Salawa akh.png is already a featured image with very similar qualities. I prefer the scarab over it though. Haidro
02:52, June 24, 2018 (UTC) - Comment (Support) - As Haidro say, Salawa Akh is already featured and I do have plans to transl the other Soul Devourers Soon™. So I would still support this nom, but with the caveat that, if some other Akh (of my work or another's) happen to be nominated in the future, I would be in favor of (pending discussion) keeping only the 2 best Akh's so as not to flood the features.

Harold Death, Esq.

Description: "I can only strike a killing blow on those who are due to die. I cannot take the lives of those whose time is not over, and equally I cannot save a life that is due to end... As much as I may sometimes wish to."
Reason: fun guy

Everlight
Description: Either "A glorified children's nightlight." or "It will stand for all time to cast its light within the darkest recesses of this world."
Reason: Looks nice, good example of current graphics, and it would be good to showcase Archaeology in some way in our featured images.
- Support - As nominator. Either description works with me. One's from Vanescula and the other from queen's journal page 1. I'll let you guess which. ɳex undique 16:25, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Support - Nice picture, support the Queen's journal page description. --LiquidTalk 02:32, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
Wizards' Tower
| New | Old |
|---|---|

Description: The Saradominist institute of studies in magic and runecrafting.
Reason: It was automatically delisted in 2017 when a new picture was taken but it was never submitted for a replacement.
- Support - As nominator ɳex undique 00:39, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose - I might be talking out of my ass here as I know nothing about art critique, but it looks a bit hazy to me. --LiquidTalk 19:53, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- Support - Liquid is indeed talking out of his ass. Haidro 02:22, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Support - It's supposed to look hazy, that's what the Depth of Field checkbox in graphics does. Theta Zero 02:23, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Closed - Alright I guess I am talking out of my ass. Also this is technically not a nomination for replacement as the old image was already delisted. --LiquidTalk 22:07, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
Experiment
Description: Experiments, such as spider-men, lurk underneath Fenkenstrain's Castle.
Reason: This high quality image promotes intrigue for users browsing the main page.
- Support - As nominator 174.20.77.13 01:10, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Oppose - Featured images I believe should be grandiose works that make someone go "wow". This image does not do that. Legaia2Pla ᴛ · ʟ · ᴄ 01:15, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - You saw this and didn't mentally say "wow". ok 174.20.77.13 01:17, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Wowee... Oppose - When I look at this image, I say "wow..." or "wowee...". I think featured images should be more in the "Wow!" or "Wowee!" category. This is just an outdated model from 2009 that doesn't showcase RS3 graphical capabilities.

- Comment - oh wow 174.20.77.13 04:46, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Support - Only if the description is changed from spider-men to man-spiders. This is a very important distinction so that Disney doesn't DMCA our asses for putting the name "spider-man" on our site. --

Wowee - a spider meme! Badassiel 01:40, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - My statement should be read as a support and reading anything less than that is an insult to myself and everyone on this thread. Badassiel 14:46, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - A much needed clarification, since your original posistion was just 'Wowee' instead of 'Wowee...' or 'Wowee!' Aescopalus talk 14:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Support - hot Star Talk 
02:28, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Oppose - I was torn on this. I don't think a featured image should be limited to impressive landscapes or high-detail bosses, but also things that make me say "huh, I want to learn more, let's go check out the article!" This image does that. The problem is the model is so outdated that it would be out-of-place not only in the gallery, but also on the front page alongside all the high-quality images. At a minimum, I think the model needs to be updated to use the same facial model as other featured images like the player or Zilyana to be featured alongside them.

Support - wow! Ciphrius Kane (talk) 03:30, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Theta, aka is this os/classic? 
Elessar2 (talk) 07:42, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Oppose - Although the image does spark intrigue, I don't think we should be featuring an old model from 2016.

Equuis Archer
.png)
Description: A representation of the anthropomorphisation of a constellation.
Reason: I think that RuneScape:Featured images/File:Equuis Archer equipped (male).png looks good, but unfortunately the face looks odd and several people opposed for that stated reason. The female version, transed after the previous nomination, doesn't have this defect.
- Support - As nominator. ɳex undique 00:36, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- Support - The differentiation of this nomination has provided a sufficient refutation of the previous delibiration, and is a worthy representation. Aescopalus talk 04:54, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- Support - Issues mentioned on other thread has been fixed 👍 Talk to Kelsey 01:18, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
Unsuccessful Nominations
File:Diddyzag pet.png
Description: Babby airut.
Reason: purdy portrait, and besties with Yakaminu
- Oppose - Nothing against the quality of the image, I just think he's ugly. We already have Yakaminu featured as a Raids representative. --LiquidTalk 11:18, May 20, 2018 (UTC)
- Support - We need more blind representation on the wiki, and as our friend Diddyzag isn't of the seeing folk, it would fit.
11:33, May 22, 2018 (UTC) - Oppose - I would normally support this, if it wasn't for the transing on the image having a white border around the model. It's not visible on this page but on a black background from opening it on another tab it becomes more obvious. Could do with being retrans'd first. 20:42, May 22, 2018 (UTC)
- Meh - Image is rather dull and I agree with Liquid - we already have a raids pet. Haidro 08:57, May 25, 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - low quality pic. plus I hate anything related to pig. airut resemble pigs. they had a pig goddess. just say no to the other slayer meat. --Deltaslug (talk) 00:35, May 27, 2018 (UTC)

Assassination of Guthix
Description:
Reason: Looks cool and dramatic. Big lore moment.
- Support - As nominator IsobelJ 11:30, September 12, 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - It looks weird as a thumbnail, looks almost like Guthix is shooting a lightning bolt out of his chest. You can't see the guy with the staff until you zoom in. Also, too dark for my taste. --LiquidTalk 13:24, September 13, 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - It's fairly dark, and you can barely see the player even when you're looking at the full sized image. jayden 11:06, September 17, 2018 (UTC)
- I've been reliably informed that the player is in fact Sliske. Even more reason to oppose. Fuck that guy. jayden 11:10, September 17, 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - too dark and unclear.
AnselaJonla 
11:11, September 17, 2018 (UTC) - Oppose - I had to zoom in to 125% on the fullsized image before I made out Sliske

Mod Gambit
Description: melancholy man
Reason: It'd be cool to feature a real-life image, especially of a JMod that was a big help to us during the forking process. Also, I took this at RuneFest and I like it.

- wtf - Not sure if trolling, but if not, quote the Kerapac. Fswe1 (talk) 08:00, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - I think iiiiiii's photography is excellent but would actually be kindof weird and creepy to feature a jmod's photo on our main page. IsobelJ 20:21, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
- Support-ish - He's a significant Jmod for us and the description fits the picture but I have to critique the photography. Whoever took this did an awful job at framing the shot. The background also doesn't really match the subject. 2/10 photographer skill. --LiquidTalk 21:51, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
- Eh - I think we should ask Gambit first if he's okay with it. Haidro 22:38, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - I agree with Haidro, we should seek consent. Then I'll support. - Scuzzy Beta 23:04, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - I don't think any Jmod would want their face plastered on the main page. jayden 23:08, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
- Support - I like it. If they ask for it taken down, we'll remove it from the main page. 02:16, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Reason: i lik it

- Comment - It's nice, but it's 70% fog. Can it be more zoomed in? cqm talk 10:18, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - This is way too zoomed out. The full size picture looks nice but the thumbnail is so nonspecific. I couldn't tell if it was shattered worlds or the lost grove. --LiquidTalk 14:18, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - The blue haze overwhelms the whole image. Haidro 11:48, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

- It's ok - But it'll be a bit strange seeing this on the main page when it's not Halloween. Haidro 23:40, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose - Agree with Haidro on this one. It's only really relevant during the event. BlackHawk (Talk) 00:03, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose - Nice picture, but not FI material. --Legaia2Pla ᴛ · ʟ · ᴄ 14:54, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
- Not sure exactly what 'not FI material' means here - I can't say I agree with Haidro and BlackHawk's points either, if it's a good image that, as the FI page says, illustrates the article content particularly well (or is eye-catching/adds significantly), I don't see what it being an event image has to do with this (I would argue this for any event image). Is it directly relevant all year round? No, but I don't see anything wrong with highlighting time-limited content as it's all part of showing off what RuneScape has to offer throughout the year(s).

Equuis Archer

Description: A representation of the anthropomorphisation of a constellation.
Reason: It looks just as good, if not better, than some of the other equipped FIMGs we have.

Withdrawn - Based upon several opposes that the lower part of the face is wrong (and my understanding that this reason is a big part of why people opposed), I'm withdrawing this nomination and instead nominating the female version of this image at RuneScape:Featured images/File:Equuis Archer equipped (female).png, whose transparency was kindly just done by User:Gullaffe. ɳex undique 00:36, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Yakamaru
Description: Yakamaru.
Reason: After many years and thanks to Habblet we finally have a good image of the snake. Light mode may or may not look ass but that's not an issue with the image itself.
Support - Sexy. BlackHawk (Talk) 18:16, 11 February 2021 (UTC)- Oppose - Although a sexy image with a darker background, I forgot that light mode was a thing. *shudders* BlackHawk (Talk) 11:25, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose - Great image, and looks dope on dark mode, but I (and I think a lot of other users) use the default light mode and it doesn't look so good there. ɳex undique 01:29, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- We also already have File:Yakaminu pet.png featured, and they look a lot alike (though this looks cleaner). ɳex undique 01:12, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose - Maybe it's because I'm on light mode but this looks worse than the pet image which is already featured. The bloom is quite straining on my eyes without the black background. Haidro 02:12, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose - Per Nex and Haidro. This looks fantastic in dark mode, but makes my eyes bleed in light mode. Yakaminu is tolerable in light mode for contrast of a similar featured image that avoids this. Aescopalus talk 06:27, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Eldritch crossbow (blood)
_detail.png)
Description: A bow made from the equipment of a warped Dragonkin, now dyed in blood.
Reason: It's purdy.
- Support - As nominator. ɳex undique 01:43, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Meh - I'd rather feature the un-dyed version of this, if it was retaken at the angle of this picture. File:Eldritch_crossbow_detail.png. Do we only like dyed weapons because of their cosmetic value? Haidro 02:14, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose - Out of context, this doesn't immediately appear to be a crossbow to me, and isn't somthing I immediately recognize from the game. I can definitely recognize that it's fantastic transparency work, but the subject matter doesn't immediately scream featured image worthy to me. Aescopalus talk 06:32, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
