Why do we see programming language webpages and Wikipedia pages submission from time to time?

Because thats what Hacker News is:

A site which people ping with interesting and noteworthy things they stumble about and then other people decide if they think it's actually noteworthy until it's either on the front page or dropped out.

Wikipedia and other web pages can be quite noteworthy.

Through sure once everyone has seen it it's no longer note worthy.

That's why some really noteworthy things pop up on HN again and again with gaps of a few month/a year between: People think they are noteworthy, push them then "everyone" knows them so they are no longer noteworthy but then people forget and wups, it's up on the front page again ;=)

Well if the community is fine with wikipedia pages then so be it.
