In my experience, that code, pretty much exactly as presented on that page, has, in the past, been called the Sieve of Eratosthenes. You and I both know that it isn't, but I, for certain, know that there have been occasions when it has been claimed to be.

Currently, the version as presented on the Haskell page does not claim that it is the Sieve of Eratosthenes. However, given its history, some people, and in my opinion quite reasonably, will believe that it is, or is intended to be, the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

In my opinion, the people who look after the Haskell page should know that, and should have something there to preempt that mistaken belief. To do so would help to increase people's knowledge. If done well, I doubt that it would hurt, and it might actually help to increase people's curiosity about Haskell.

Edit: Just wanted to add that I've up-voted your comments, because they're true, and they've made me re-evaluate a few things. Thanks.
