Ruby pornographic actress

In the people section, Ruby pornographic actress, points to the ruby gemstone article. This should either be fixed to point to the right article or deleted. 189.144.197.43 (talk) 01:57, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the link. The article about the pornographic actress was deleted in 2007 because of lack of notability. I see no reason to add the link back until we have an article about her asserting her notability. JIP | Talk 06:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Esperanto link

There was a link on this disambiguation page to the Esperanto article http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby -- I have removed it. There is no unique Esperanto word corresponding to the various senses of the English word "ruby".

The Esperanto word for the red gemstone is "Rubeno". The word "Ruby" (the computer language and the Asian typographic style) is used only as a foreign loanword in Esperanto (as spelled, the word seriously violates Esperanto rules of orthography and grammar).
I added a link to http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubeno at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_programming_language currently links to http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_(komputillingvo) , which is correct.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_character currently links to http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipo_Ruby , which is also correct. -- Writtenonsand 21:41, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ruby

there is also a painting elephant (passed away, I believe) from Phoenix Zoo (or nearby) who painted many lithographs and generated very much money for zoo-related charities. I do not see this on this disambiguation. Certainly it deservers a slot.

There is a W3C draft specification for East Asian language display in a "Ruby" format: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-ruby-1/ The first paragraph (under Abstract) gives the definition. Both Firefox and Chrome support display of these "Ruby" text-based units, so this should be mentioned in the disambiguation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.231.191.233 (talk) 17:16, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ATI's digital superstar

I'm fairly surprised that we don't have a wikipedia page for Ruby, ATI's mascot, let alone not mentioning her at all on the disambiguation page until just now. I propose that a page be made for her. If this is to be undertaken, a substantial amount of the material will probably come from ATI's official page for her - http://ati.amd.com/ruby/index.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.116.45.227 (talk) 06:25, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A fictional town called Ruby

I read a book a few years ago, a novel set in the USA, in which a town had been founded and populated almost totally by African Americans with particularly dark, 'blue-black' skin. I think the town was called Ruby. I think the novel was called Ruby too, and I think one of the original settlers' children was called Ruby, but that she died.

I came to wikipedia to remind myself of it, but it isn't here. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Nick Barnett (talk) 00:10, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
