I'm presuming were are talking about the pages at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_collapse_disorder?

Thanks to Jim for bringing this up and to Jerry for corroborating his 
report.  I must confess that, not having really paid attention, and having 
not taken the time to examine that page in detail, I would not have realized 
that the reporting there is somewhat slanted, incomplete or inaccurate.

In the past, when visiting Wikipedia, I have noticed that some topics are 
labeled prominently as being controversial, with reference to alternate 
viewpoints, questionable, incomplete or slanted, so I wonder -- if the real 
experts question the information presented -- then why does this page not do 
so, and what is the mechanism to impeach the imposter and get recognition 
for the real experts who spend their time actually examining beehives and 
analyzing the phenomenon?

I also wonder if there is one comprehensive website somewhere that contains 
authoritative details, ongoing discussion between CCD researchers, or a 
direct rebuttal; of the Wikipedia article.  If not there should be, and such 
a page or pages and they should be able to maintain a stable link, at least, 
from the Wikipedia pages.

Perhaps participating in the wiki is a waste of time, but putting the same 
amount of effort into authoritative pages would not.
