[racket] Wikipedia article improvements

Another avenue of interest my be the 'list of articles with nnnn
code/source'

 Wikipedia:List of articles with C
programs<https://mail.google.com/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_articles_with_C_programs>
Wikipedia:List of articles with Java source
code<https://mail.google.com/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_articles_with_Java_source_code>
Wikipedia:List of articles with Pascal
programs<https://mail.google.com/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_articles_with_Pascal_programs>
Wikipedia:List of articles with Perl source
code<https://mail.google.com/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_articles_with_Perl_source_code>
Wikipedia:List of articles with Python
programs<https://mail.google.com/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_articles_with_Python_programs>

Found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Programming_languages#Resources
As an example I added
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world_program_examples#Racket

*I* think this is notable as it make the point of racket being used
to constuct another language.
