[edit] Tile floor
I work for Ruby Tuesday (the St. Louis area franchise), and I am one to tell you that I have never heard of Ruby's having three signature items - the double picture, the upside down one, and the floor tile. In fact, I am 100% sure that neither of the two stores I have worked at have a misplaced floor tile. I'll look around the restaurant tomorrow and see if I can find the double picture and the upside-down one... but I've never heard of that before! Whoever added that to the article, where'd you get that info from? --209.145.160.65 08:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have worked in many Ruby Tuesday restaurants and can confirm that more often than not, those items do exist. Typically the misplaced floor tile appears somewhere in the bar area. However, the upside-down artifact is not always a picture. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.84.87.244 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Name
Can we get a citation that the restaurant is indeed named after the Rolling Stones song? I couldn't find anything about it on their website. PolarisSLBM 20:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- The restaurant chain doesn't actually claim that the restaurant is named after the Rolling Stones' song.
[edit] Controversy
The information contained in the Controversy section isn't really relevant. This seems like a one time deal that doesn't really affect the company at all. I propose that it be deleted. 207.203.147.20 18:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- This came up in edit summaries a while back... I agree. Done. /Blaxthos 01:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] See also section
I have trimmed this per WP:GTL. If there is a reason to include thses articles can it please be discussed here? Thank you. --70.109.223.188 (talk) 17:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- WP:SEEALSO (the specific section of the guideline you are quoting) - The optional See also section provides a bulleted list of blue internal links to related Wikipedia articles. These are major competitors of these companies (Re: all the other edits you made), as such they represent other competitors for the market segment and demographic Ruby's et al are targeting, thus they are related by the field of business that they are in the American pub style chain restaurant. Just as the Ford Mustang and Chevy Corvette compete for the same market segment in the American muscle and are often compared as such. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 19:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
See also is not a link farm. There are probably 20-30 more links that could be added by your logic. Why are these perticular ones being added? You should provide an explaination per the guideline. --70.109.223.188 (talk) 19:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- You personally know of twenty or thirty national casual dining chains? Funny, after twenty five years in the hospitality field I only know of the three or four listed here. These are the three largest competitors in the field, they are highly relevant as such. Just as you cannot mention McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King when discussing the Fast food burger chains, the same principal applies here.
- This is not an example of WP:not by a major long shot. These links are not indiscriminate links to random restaurant chains but to those in the same field, as stated the American pub casual dining chains or the parent companies if they are part of a large group like Darden or OSI. I believe the policy that you are using is WP:Idontlikeit, so please stop.--Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 20:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- So is going to dozens of pages and removing them out of hand. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 16:10, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- "dozens of pages"? That is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? I was just trying to clean up some see also sections. I still think that some of these links are unneccessary but will not edit war here. Good luck. --70.109.223.188 (talk) 12:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
