I do not agree. They are not confused by other languages, they treat all
languages as born equal. Do not forget, mathematics is the common source
of knowledge for all programmers, creating our separate source of
knowledge leads to isolationism and narrow-minded vision. If my words
are too vague — "catamorphism" and "F-algebra" belong to mathematics,
not to Haskell.
Maybe Wikipedia articles are bad because they are provided by community
— then HaskellWiki will suffer likewise. :(

I'm not so sure Wikipedia is a good source of information for this.
I've tried to read some of their articles on e.g. type systems or
generic programming, but they tend to be confused by other languages and
their communities using these terms to mean different things. So I
think it is better to build on the HaskellWiki where the words can mean
what we want them to.
