Any posts on this site that are of interest to WordPress users are also posted to that site. That site then pings this site if there are any links to this site in the post. There are two of them so you see two pingbacks. I'll probably leave them, since they do provide readers of the pinged posts with another source of information. Normally, my posts on this site would ping other posts on this site. But I installed software to disable that, since I often link to related posts here. Sounds confusing, but it's not once you get an idea of the relationship between the posts. Yes, those are pingbacks, but they’re from another site I manage, so they’re legit.
