Talk:Backscatter

Text and/or other creative content from Orb (optics) was copied or moved into Backscatter#Backscatter in photography with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

This page should have a disambiguation page associated with it; backscatter can refer to Distributed Denial of Service detection as well as the physics/optics noted.

Currently, spam backscatter is explained in an own section; as long, as there is not more material, a disambig page seems to me too much overhead. Frau Holle 12:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest moving the lemma to backscattering. -- Frau Holle 12:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

the Mailtraq link in 'Backscatter of email spam' - is that okay, or is it too close to being an advert? I don't feel able to judge myself, but it is a link to a commercial product. Scatterkeir 00:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this is an advert, so I have removed it and replaced it with a much more useful page on the SpamLinks site. The Mailtraq page just had a definition that came from here (Wikipedia) anyway, and then a point about how to set up their own product. Alan 19:40, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Backscatter in Computer Graphics

email backscatter

i concur with the proposal to split the email backscatter issue into a separate article. the use of the term 'backscatter' came about colloquially; giving it weight in this article actually strikes me as inappropriate. Anastrophe (talk) 17:51, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll second that. Although what the title should be I'm not sure. jalal (talk) 21:09, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've created the article and copied it there. However, it's being linked from Slashdot right now, so I'll leave completing the move for a few hours or a day or so; I've moved the internal links over.- (User) WolfKeeper (Talk) 01:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
