{{li|I=S1/MX|Q=618}}LithoGraphIca article class  ->  so, I want to have article tiers to rate how finished all the Ontology pages and also 9k pages are. but I want to have a particular theme to them.<br/>
stub: the article exists.<br/>
granite: the article exists. it isn't a stub, but it isn't internally coherent and comes across more as "spaghetti philosophy".<br/>
quartz: the article exists. it isn't a stub, and it describes the concept with internally coherent logic so that it is possible to differentiate it from all other concepts coded as Items. it may not necessarily be attested in external sources or perfectly map onto standard uses of language. as such, it could use some improvement.<br/>
gold: this article superbly covers an immaterial idea or philosophy from within its own context but does not actually address where it comes from materially.<br/>
iron: this article accurately covers the [[E:shovel (meta-Marxism)|shovels]] involved in social processes, such that any article on anything can be used to teach class consciousness, Marxism, and meta-Marxist understanding of the material behavior of different Leninisms.

{{li|I=S2/MW|Q=618}}LithoGraphIca article class<br/>
stub, granite, and quartz are cumulative awards. either jade or iron are cumulative on quartz.<br/>
jade and iron are separate. ruby is cumulative on jade, although it is optional.<br/>
limestone is cumulative on jade, ruby, and iron.

{{li|I=S2/MW|Q=618}}stub  ->  the article exists. it does not have adequate details on what it actually is about or what might be the context behind it.

{{li|I=S2/ES|Q=618}}granite tier  ->  the article exists. it is long enough to not be a stub, but it isn't internally coherent and comes across more as "spaghetti philosophy". if it is a meta-Marxist concept it doesn't properly explain new terms. if it is an Existentialist concept written by Existentialists it doesn't contain any material backing to explain why any two people in the same material world would think of the same concept. if it is a mainstream Marxist-Leninist concept it doesn't explain historical context in terms of a particular country, revolution, movement, or event. if it is a Trotskyist concept it doesn't check itself against other Marxisms. if it is a Tory concept the background section sounds like it has never read a sociology book or something. if it is a concept from fiction, it is incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't read the book.

{{li|I=S2/IV|Q=618}}quartz tier  ->  the article isn't a stub, and it describes the concept with internally coherent logic so that it is possible to differentiate it from all other concepts coded as Items. it may not necessarily be attested in external sources or perfectly map onto standard uses of language. as such, it could use some improvement.<br/>
if it is an Existentialist concept, it does not require deep digging through obscure critical-theorists and even if it does not come across as rational to Marxists is easily comprehensible relative to a few basic Existentialist concepts like "free will" and "the free market". if it is an early Marxist concept it has good grounding in Marx and Engels but maybe does not have very strong relevance to either current observations of real-world processes or what are currently considered to be relevant historical events. if it is a Trotskyist concept it actually explains how it is different from mainstream Marxism-Leninism. if it is a Western-Marxist concept it both distinguishes itself from traditional philosophy in a bourgeois context and actually gives a complete explanation of how traditional philosophy supposedly connects to Marxism.

{{li|I=S2/ML|Q=618}}jade tier  ->  this article superbly covers an immaterial idea or philosophy from within its own context but does not actually address where it comes from materially. articles in this tier are likely to contain full reference sections.<br/>
if it is a Marxist concept, it gives a fully comprehensible account of how society operates within the model of a particular named Marxism, but does not necessarily go into meta-Marxist analysis of its own Marxism and relationship to other Marxisms.

{{li|I=S2/STM|Q=618}}ruby tier  ->  this article presents a highly usable mechanical-Materialist or one-step relativistic Materialist model. (synthetic rubies are used in watches as ball bearings, associating them with clockwork.) [https://www.mindat.org/article.php/4328/Minerals+used+in+watches] this tier is appropriate for coherent and complete entries on scientific concepts where the theories themselves are simplified, such as maybe a Newtonian gravity equation. some concepts will only ever get to this tier by their nature, but there is no shame in that.<br/>
if a concept is nicely verified against material reality — almost always one pertaining to the natural sciences — and can be used to start probing the truth value of hypothesis style propositions, it belongs in ruby tier. for a humanities concept, achieving ruby tier is often not necessary. in a few cases it may be possible to turn a humanities concept objective and reach this tier, such as with concepts like "there existed a middle kingdom of Egypt — archeological records prove it" or "observational studies over several years show very few people regretting gender transition".

{{li|I=S2/MX|Q=618}}iron tier  ->  this article accurately covers the [[E:shovel (meta-Marxism)|shovels]] involved in social processes, such that any article in this tier on anything can be used to teach class consciousness, Marxism, and meta-Marxist understanding of the material behavior of different Leninisms. an iron-tier article must actually somehow tie itself back to society and how people living within society can apply it to feel like society is less out-of-control. not all concepts will rise to that standard, and that's okay; don't try too hard to coerce an article into social commentary just to get to iron tier, although you can add that in when it comes intuitively and feels natural.

{{li|I=S2/BP|Q=618}}limestone tier  ->  this article accurately covers the internal logic of a concept or proximate causes of a process (as in jade tier), the material processes that generate the ideas (as in iron tier), is fully and clearly differentiated from other concepts (as in quartz tier), and is generally suitable for teaching history to people of any ideology, as well as using as a proxy for factual observations when evaluating the truth value of other propositions (as in ruby tier).
