Sure, and creationists think the Wikipedia article on evolution is hopelessly biased. However, they are wrong and their opinions count for nothing. In science, all issues must be decided by the weight of experimental evidence. If Wikipedia uses some other standard then it cannot be used to describe scientific subjects. No argument can be settled and no progress made unless you abide by this rule: experiments are the only authority.
With some subjects it is not clear where the weight of experimental evidence lies. Some experiments are difficult to interpret, or inconclusive. After 1990 that was not a problem with cold fusion.
