Lord of the Rings 1-A Revision

[MasterOfArda]

The Lord of the Rings High 1-A+ revisions heave been in limbo for over a year due to a dearth of knowledgeable staff and the difficult High 1-A+ rating rules. In the meantime, all Low 1-C pages should be updated to 1-A with the new R>F rules. Nothing needs to change in the justification.

Could you link to the relevant pages, please?

Arien

As it stands, at least from the perspective of an outsider, the current justification could definitely still work for Low 1-C.

What's the evidence it's R>F and not just a dimensional difference?

 

[MasterOfArda]

The phrase "primary" and "secondary reality" are used to refer to difference between the Ainur and Ea, and also the difference between reality and fiction in the real world.

Here's Tyranno's excerpt, if you want: https://vsbattles.com/threads/tolkien-tier-high-1-a-and-0-proposal.171747/page-8#-concerning-1-a

The phrase "primary" and "secondary reality" are used to refer to difference between the Ainur and Ea, and also the difference between reality and fiction in the real world.

I looked at the cosmology page.

"The Ainur exist in a higher and more primary reality compared to Eä, viewing the universe and space-time of the Legendarium as a secondary and small reality which Eru holds as mere thought, with Tolkien emphasising the difference as akin to that between myth and reality."

This does indeed seem like 1-A.

So, I approve.

What should I do now? Thanks for the help, this is my first CRT in years.

I think you ask one other staff for permission then you or other knowledge members can ask permission to edit all affected pages and hope that High 1A+ also get accepted soon.

Yeah, I wasn't sure whether how many staff I need, or where to find them, because the verse page only lists two staff as supporters, and I think at least one of them is inactive. And none of them are listed as knowledgeable members.
