[racket] Wikipedia article improvements

The obvious response to a Wikipedia editor asserting that Racket is "not 
very notable" is to say "citation needed". :)

But seriously, although it sounds like the editor's rationale is tinged 
with opinion, it might also be the true that the page arguably doesn't 
really belong in Wikipedia, even if you see an analogous page for 
Haskell.  Perhaps you can rethink the page, or someone can contribute 
comparative discussion of why the examples are significant in a PL 
context.  I couldn't make a good enough case for those examples, myself.

It looks like you've done a lot of work to provide some context and 
narrative for the examples from the home page.  If Wikipedia doesn't use 
that, perhaps there's some other place it could be used.
