Review

• No dablinks
• Link issues
  • FN#6, 20, 38, 39 and 41 are dead
    • Per WP:DEADREF i'm not asking them to be fixed, but if a replacement is available, please add it :)

General comments

• Text on captions might not be aligned as center.
• No information about the international performance of the company is available?
• Comment: I've counted some 10 to 12 references which has Ruby Tuesday, Inc. as the publisher/source. This is allarming considering that it represents about 20% of all references. The article may need more 3P sources, if available, of course.

Lead

• The lead doesn't correctly summarize the article and might be rewritten from scratch.
• "The concept was founded" → "The company was founded"

• Later, the article says "The corporation was formed in 1996", so this along with the line above can create confusion about the actual foundation of the company.

• "between their various concepts" → "between their various franchises" would be better?
• I won't comment further, since i greatly encourage the nominator to rewrite the lead to meet WP:LEAD.

Etymology

• Good, but it will do better as a subsection of History, I think.

History

• Good
• I made some minor edits on the section.

Emerging concepts

• Good.
• I made some minor edits on this section.

Headquarters

• Good, but think bout merging this section into the History one.

Distribution

• "Throughout the first halve of the company history" → "Throughout the first halve of the company's history"

• Please make it "Thoughout the first half of the company's history" BlueMoonset (talk) 04:36, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

• Way better. Thanks. I overlooked "halve" XD —Hahc21 05:01, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

• "The company owned and operated 750 Ruby Tuesday restaurants, while domestic and international franchisees operated 43 and 53 restaurants, respectively" → Please rewrite, i didn't clearly understood the phrase.
• Per WP:COMMONPLACE, countries goes delinked.
• "An excerpt from the 2011 Annual Report:" → Transform it into a reference at the end of the quotation.
• I made some minor edits on the section.

Well, I'll stop here by now. After those issues are solved, I continue with the review. I'm putting the article on hold. —Hahc21 04:18, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

The article is actually showing up still as under review, not on hold. I didn't want to mess with the GA nominee template in case you'd changed your mind. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:52, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

o.0 I forgot to change the status. Thanks for the advice. —Hahc21 03:09, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

I am actively working to improve the article and it's content. I have been working quite a bit recently and afterwards I will be on vacation. I have not had the time to address the immediate needs, but will definitely be doing so shortly. Thank you for your feedback and your patience. Chilled616 (talk) 06:40, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Chilled, i appreciate your efforts, but the article hasn't been touched since June 25. I'll wclose this review as not listed and you may renominate it later after you fix all the issues on it. Cheers! —Hahc21 19:45, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
