Defence in depth (non-military)

How does this article relate to antibiotics and where is the citation? Graham Beards (talk) 13:55, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll watch and revert as well--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 14:10, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Using multiple antimicrobial techniques to avoid resistance is a defense in depth methodology. H44dyss9900 (talk) 14:33, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And where is the citation? Graham Beards (talk) 14:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do see also sections need citations? At least 99.99% of Wikipedia see also sections are not cited. H44dyss9900 (talk) 14:43, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the section and citation on the linked page that refers directly to antibiotics? Without this, I think this addition to the article is original research and is not allowed. Graham Beards (talk) 14:46, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most Wikipedia see also sections do not meet this criteria. Are they all original research too? H44dyss9900 (talk) 14:48, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See MOS:ALSO where is says, "articles linked should be related to the topic of the article or be in the same defining category". I don't think this is the case here. Graham Beards (talk) 14:56, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is related to the (sub)topic at hand though. See 3rd post in the thread H44dyss9900 (talk) 15:03, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where is say what exactly? Graham Beards (talk) 15:11, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Using multiple antimicrobial techniques to avoid resistance is a defense in depth methodology. H44dyss9900 (talk) 15:14, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And where is the citation? Graham Beards (talk) 15:17, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do see also sections need citations? Most see also Wikipedia sections are not cited. H44dyss9900 (talk) 15:22, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop messing about! Without a citation and a WP:MEDRS one at that, it's not going in the article! Graham Beards (talk) 15:25, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So see also sections need to be cited? H44dyss9900 (talk) 15:35, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:BAIT. Graham Beards (talk) 15:41, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

like I said above... I'll watch (it won't be going in the artilce)--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:10, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
