I think the content you're looking for is now in the "Society and culture" section but honestly, mentioning organizations requires secondary sources. We're an encyclopedia. We're based of secondary sources. Contact me again at my talk page if you have any questions! Also see WP:CHEAT (the cheatsheet) if any coding questions come up for you.

Hi, yes I can now see it in the Society and Culture. thanks. Re: Seconday resources; I felt that linking the organisations to their own wiki page was sufficient but perhaps there are other references I can look up. I think it's important to highlight the society & culture bit more and make the article more accessible to those likely to be reading it (ie people who may have dementia, or their families/carers). I'm not quite sure of the wording on some sentences, such as: " A competition by the Design Council found that the smell of a bakewell tart, wrist bands that could help and guide dogs for the mind[clarification needed] were all suggestions for ideas to help people with dementia.[72] German nursing homes have installed fake bus stops, so patients with dementia "wait" for a bus there instead of wandering farther away.[73]" and othewise the article is quite clinical. thanks for cheatsheet hint.

You're welcome. Yes my impression is that the article could use a lot of love! We try to write with a patient, layperson, and clinician all in mind. For clinical information we use WP:MEDRS to guide our source selection. I suppose the readers you're targeting would most care about the treatment/management section. The text you identified is questionable. I agree! Be WP:BOLD and improve the article? By the way, me or someone else will probably remove the bit that doesn't use secondary sourcing. See a similar exchange about that general issue at Talk:Malaria#Organizations. Best! Two articles I've worked the most on lately are deep vein thrombosis and malaria, FYI. You might want to take a look at them, and dengue fever, for example, to get a feel of the style we use. Thanks again! Biosthmors (talk) 23:18, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
