The Bob Evans Restaurant chain started from a single [[truck stop]] [[diner]] on the Bob Evans Farm in [[Rio Grande, Ohio]] and has grown to almost 600 locations in 23 states, primarily in the Northeast, Midwestern, and upper Southern states. All locations are corporately owned, not franchised.
Add ===={{La|THE ARTICLE NAME}}====as the request title


The restaurant chain started after Bob Evans (born May 30, 1918) learned from his patrons at a truck stop in Rio Grande that his sausage was the best around. Bob slaughtered and packaged his own sausage using a unique recipe, but did not have the manufacturing capacity to fill large orders. He made a business arrangement with his cousin J. Tim Evans who was then the owner of Evans Packing Co. to package the Bob Evans Sausage products at Tim's plant. Sales went through the roof, and the rest is history.
###############Please only edit below this line.###############-->


Both Bob and Tim are retired, and both still maintain residences near the original Bob Evans Restaurant in Rio Grande. Another relative, Dan Evans, served as CEO until his retirement in 2000.

The company also offers [[pork]] products to the retail grocery market, as well as some other prepared food products to both the grocery and food service segments. The restaurant chain was started because local restaurants would not purchase the high-quality pork sausage the company produced, saying that customers would not pay extra for quality. The company successfully disproved this idea.

The company acquired [[Texas]] based Owens Country Sausage in [[1987]]. The company labels its otherwise identical restaurants in Texas as ''Owens Restaurants'' due to [[trademark]] issues. All Owens restaurants were closed in January 2006.

The Evans family controlled daily operations of the company until [[2000]] when Dan Evans (Bob's cousin) retired as CEO. After Dan's retirement, Stewart K. Owens (a former officer of the Owens Country Sausage company and later president of BOBE) assumed control of Bob Evans Farms Inc. as CEO. In [[2001]], he became [[Chairman of the Board]]. Company profits faltered under Owens' tenure. In August 2005, after corporate profits had sank in eight of the previous nine quarters, Owens announced his resignation. Officially, the cause of Owens' departure was "personal reasons" but many business analyst believed Owens' departure and Bob Evans disappointing results were more than a mere coincidence. After operating for several months under interim CEO Larry Corbin, the company hired Steven Davis, the former president of [[Long John Silver's]], as CEO in May [[2006]].

'''Unprotect''' - Policy says to revert vandalism, not protect, on high-profile pages. From the [[WP:FULL]] policy,

''When a page is particularly high profile, either because it is linked off the main page, or because it has recently received a prominent link from offsite, it will often become a target for vandalism. '''It is not appropriate to protect pages in this case.''' Instead, consider adding them to your watchlist, and reverting vandalism yourself.'' - [[obvious|emphasis mine]]

''Do not edit or revert a temporarily protected page, except to add a protected page notice, a link to Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute or Wikipedia:NPOV dispute, or a similar disclaimer about the current state of an article, unless there is widespread agreement that the page was protected in violation of these policies.'' - original protecting admin edited article after protetion to REMOVE (not revert) the image. It is possible to keep the old image without having the new, harassing one.

''Do not protect a page you are involved in an edit dispute over. '' - alsoviolated by original protecting editor. And with no discussion anywhere, except an [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bouquet&diff=64179187&oldid=63682929 intimidation message] to the offending editor. [[User:Karwynn|Psycho Master]] [[User_Talk:Karwynn|(Karwynn)]] 18:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

:I consider any admin that encyclopedia dramatica criticizes on their website to have bias, POV, and edit dispute in the article. There's thousands of admins so I think it's easy to find one not mentioned. Personally, there is GTBacchus who is also an admin that watches the article (he may be away). The rest of the admins that watch the article do so as a result of being flamed on the website -- I'm not advocating the flames, I'm just saying it's bias. Basically, it's the same reason people aren't allowed to edit articles about themselves. [[User:DyslexicEditor|DyslexicEditor]] 18:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


It looks like MONGO banned the editor who did the edits to the article yesterday and the edits stopped maybe 12 hours before the page was protected. [[User:DyslexicEditor|DyslexicEditor]] 18:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to note that now Mongo is editing the article while under page protection. There has yet to be a justifiable reason for the page protection, and this is tiring already. --[[User:Badlydrawnjeff|badlydrawnjeff]] <small>[[User_talk:Badlydrawnjeff|talk]]</small> 22:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to note that MONGO, who complained of personal attacks, has vandalized encyclopedia dramatica with personal attacks under the name "MONGO1" and then impersonated ex-bureaucrat "Ed Poor" by using his name to make more personal attacks on encyclopedia dramatica. I would offer links as proof, by MONGO has ordered me not to link to them.

Quoting [[WP:NPA]], "While you may not be directly penalised for off-wiki attacks, they may be taken as aggravating factors when any on-wiki policy violations are being considered. For example, they can be used as evidence of bad faith in the dispute-resolution process, or as evidence in ArbCom cases." I read somewhere that off-wiki impersonation of wikipedia users is also prohibited by wikipedia's rules. [[User:DyslexicEditor|DyslexicEditor]] 00:48, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps as there is a question of bias with certain admins/editors over this article, this needs to be reviewed on a higher level above any of the admins presently involved. Concensus (by numbers here and on the actual talk page) would seem to support this. Perhaps a vote? [[User:Rootology|rootology]] 00:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

===={{lt|War on Terrorism}}====

The following articles removed from the template definitely belong there:

1. Bybee memo. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism.
2. Combatant Status Review Tribunal. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism.
3. Extraordinary rendition. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism.
4. Long War. The Bush Administration has callen the War on Terrorism that.
5. Unitary executive theory. It is about the prisoners captured during the War on Terrorism.
6. U.S. government response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Do I need to explain?
7. Detroit Sleeper Cell. This was certainly not a main event.

The following articles were added, and shouldn't have been:

1. 2002 Bali bombing. This was not a main event. If the Madrid and London attacks are not listed, why this one?
2. Hambali. His organzation's article is listed, and has a link to his.
3. Khadaffy Janjalani. His organzation's article is listed, and has a link to his.
4. Shamil Basayev. His organzation's article is listed, and has a link to his.
5. Moscow theater hostage crisis. The Second Chechen War article is listed, and has a link to it.

Notice that the articles that belong there even the template, and the ones that don't doesn't have it.

As the Second Chechen War and the Al-Aqsa Intifada are ongoing conflicts, they should be listed as "Contemporaneous conflicts", just as the other war templates have that section.

Also, why were the borders of the flags removed? [[User:Esaborio|Esaborio]] 06:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

:::[[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Denied. This is a persistant vandal. But. There aren't nearly enough edits to justify semi protection, much less permanent semi-protection.

Bob Evans Farms, Inc. Nasdaq: BOBE, is a billion dollar food service, processing, and retail company based in Columbus, Ohio. It operates several chains of casual dining restaurants in the United States including Bob Evans Restaurants, Owens Restaurants, and Mimi's Cafe. It also is a major food processing and retail enterprise selling products under the Bob Evans and Owens Country Sausage brand names.

The Bob Evans Restaurant chain started from a single truck stop diner on the Bob Evans Farm in Rio Grande, Ohio and has grown to almost 600 locations in 23 states, primarily in the Northeast, Midwestern, and upper Southern states. All locations are corporately owned, not franchised.

The restaurant chain started after Bob Evans (born May 30, 1918) learned from his patrons at a truck stop in Rio Grande that his sausage was the best around. Bob slaughtered and packaged his own sausage using a unique recipe, but did not have the manufacturing capacity to fill large orders. He made a business arrangement with his cousin J. Tim Evans who was then the owner of Evans Packing Co. to package the Bob Evans Sausage products at Tim's plant. Sales went through the roof, and the rest is history.

Both Bob and Tim are retired, and both still maintain residences near the original Bob Evans Restaurant in Rio Grande. Another relative, Dan Evans, served as CEO until his retirement in 2000.

The primary theme is one of country living. Breakfast is served all day.

A Bob Evans Restaurant.

The company also offers pork products to the retail grocery market, as well as some other prepared food products to both the grocery and food service segments. The restaurant chain was started because local restaurants would not purchase the high-quality pork sausage the company produced, saying that customers would not pay extra for quality. The company successfully disproved this idea.

The company acquired Texas based Owens Country Sausage in 1987. The company labels its otherwise identical restaurants in Texas as Owens Restaurants due to trademark issues. All Owens restaurants were closed in January 2006.

The company also operates the Mimi's Cafe chain, consisting of 100 locations in the western United States, which feature a French café theme.

The company also operated a Mexican-themed restaurant called Cantina del Rio in the mid-1990's.

The Evans family controlled daily operations of the company until 2000 when Dan Evans (Bob's cousin) retired as CEO. After Dan's retirement, Stewart K. Owens (a former officer of the Owens Country Sausage company and later president of BOBE) assumed control of Bob Evans Farms Inc. as CEO. In 2001, he became Chairman of the Board. Company profits faltered under Owens' tenure. In August 2005, after corporate profits had sank in eight of the previous nine quarters, Owens announced his resignation. Officially, the cause of Owens' departure was "personal reasons" but many business analyst believed Owens' departure and Bob Evans disappointing results were more than a mere coincidence. After operating for several months under interim CEO Larry Corbin, the company hired Steven Davis, the former president of Long John Silver's, as CEO in May 2006.
