Unfortunately, wordpress seems to handle this differently with different versions.
If I quote you in a post and link to your post like Virgohippy's example, that should create a ping-back. Which is similar to a trackback other than it does not quote a segment of your text. It simply adds a link back to your post from their comments section.
If I quote you and I use your url (yoururl.com/post) and add /trackback (yoururl.com/trackback) that should create the trackback which takes a portion of your post and inserts that as a comment.
If you look in the comments section for the trackback link, when you mouse over the link, you'll find that the link does show the /trackback/ extension.
I know with my version, even though I have pingbacks allowed, I don't seem to do them and if you want to trackback to a post, you must use the /trackback/ on the url you post or the script wont process the trackback either.
As far as your article is concerned, as far as I am concerned the above is the only true trackback.
The second one he lists is spam.
The third is just reciprocal linking within a post.
