Talk:Mirror (computing)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I hope my 13 mirror examples of television are interesting. I am amazed there are so many, and I imagine others will be as well, SqueakBox 15:24, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

You might as well just link Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks. --Joy [shallot]
Done that too thanks. It does though, give a nice up to date in your face example for the reader to contemplate, SqueakBox 17:13, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
I've de-linked the mirrors using the nowiki tag. I've noticed discussion in various SEO forums about how to "smuggle" a link to a site into Wikipedia in order to increase its pagerank. This page is an obvious place to do it. -- Jeronim 13:33, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Good idea. I just wanted to give an example of a site that was mirroring a lot, not particularly for people to go to them, and was feeling a bit uncomfortable as the numbers mounted up. Now I feel comfortable to add some more to the list, SqueakBox 15:54, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

I am not happy with these being taken out, SqueakBox 16:55, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't shed a tear if they were gone. --Joy [shallot]

"For example, when the popular Google search engine was banned in 2002 by the People's Republic of China, the mirror elgooG was set up as a way of effectively circumventing the ban." I don't think that this is strictly the case... Khedron 09:02, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Mirrored server to Mirror (computing)

  • Support: Same content — to me, at least — but I'm no expert in this stuff.+mwtoews 20:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support: It's the same idea, but in slightly different contexts. Mirror_(computing) is a broad enough category to cover both. -- Austin Murphy 22:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Support: Mirrored server does not have enough unique information to warrant a seperate article. Both articles include similar data. Recommend merge. Freedomlinux 06:34, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Support: A Mirrored server is one example of the process of the information technology process of mirroring [as in Mirror (computing)] if that distinction was made clear then sure, merge the two. Otherwise, just cross referring should be adequate. Mark Dixon 27 Feb 2007
  • Support: Recommend merge, but keep unique information.--Antariki Vandanamu 12:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Whoa! Going somewhere else

It seems the recent edits are about objecting to the duplication of disk mirroring in something about site mirroring. It seems to me that the topic of this article (mirroring as used in the sense of computing) is being changed into a specific article about site mirroring, indeed some of the wording is there.

I would say that there is a general concept of mirroring, but it is almost just a definition. Then we have specific examples of mirroring of which internet site mirroring is one example of the application of the concept.

The edits should not remove references to forms of mirroring, but should not go into detail if there is an in depth topic. Spenny 15:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Yup, that's the nature of the Wiki, it is going always somewhere else. When I approached this artice three days ago, it was article on site mirroring mixed strangely with a few mentions of disk mirroring, giving false impression that site mirroring uses remote disk mirroring, or that they use similar technology. It was a Bad Thing. Since disk mirroring has its own article (even two, counting RAID1), the simplest thing to do was to disambiguate and provide links. I agree that now the first section should be expanded, to justify its general name. I'm against renaming it to site mirroring, as notability of such subject is insufficient. --Kubanczyk 17:07, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Self-Reference

I thought you weren't supposed to use Wikipedia as an example in an article?...Whatipedia 23:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC) ΒΒherefdsfsfs —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.200.27.47 (talk) 18:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
