Talk:Parallel backbone

Deletion

This article was actually created by ccole17. Lsukari is the instructor for this course. I was showing her how to code the pages when we first created the article and then we deleted my post and added it as hers. It was immediately removed. Please allow this article to be copied back.

DYK

If it gets expanded and cleaned up a little bit more, this article should be eligible for appearing on the main page as a "Did you know" entry, if it is nominated it soon; it is supposed to be nominated within 5 days of being created, and needs to have at least 1500 characters of prose, equivalent to several paragraphs.

The instructions for nominating it are at Template talk:Did you know. Basically, all you need to do is take this code if you created a new article:

{{subst:NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=new | author=  }}

or this code if you expanded it

{{subst:NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=expanded | author= }}

and write the hook, a concise and interesting bit of info from the article beginning with "... that" and ending with a question mark. The info from the hook has to be present in the article and supported (in the article) with a citation. Someone will double-check to make sure the source says what it's claimed to say.

Once you've come up with a hook, fill in your username as the author and fill the title of the article, then add the above code, including your hook following the "hook=" part, to the top of the appropriate section for the day the article was started on the DYK template talk page. The code will produce an entry formatted like the others. After that, just keep an eye on the entry; if anyone brings up an issue with it, try to address it. I'll keep an eye out as well. If everything goes well, it will appear on the Main Page for several hours a few days from now.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 13:55, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Entire Article Is One Long Paraphrase of Topic in Elementary Textbook

Tamara Dean's Network+ Guide to Networks is an elementary textbook on networks. (It is the assigned text in Network Concepts, a 100-level course at the Northern Virginia Community College.) Tamara Dean touches on parallel backbones very briefly. It takes up just one page in her textbook–and about half of that page is an illustration. After reading the little bit she did write, I came to this article for more detail, because what she wrote was not enough to get a clear understanding of how it works; but this whole article is one long paraphrase of what Tamara Dean wrote, right down to the example of payroll.

In her textbook at page 204 an illustration of a parallel backbone shows two cables, instead of one, between adjacent devices in the backbone, but she does not go into detail to explain how that works.
