I didn't see it as Wiki-Nonsense, just unclear use of terminology. Even professional musicians used to use the word "flautist" and now have changed over to flutist.
I won't argue it further. I've given my opinion. Saying duplication or proximate duplication or adjacent duplication (or any other appropriate phrase) gets the point across very well without the confusion caused by unclear redundant jargon such as "reduplication". Jargon is sometimes necessary if there are no regular words to describe a concept (terms in mathematics are a good example of this), but jargon is not in every case better than straightforward description.
I'll support Marco's use of quasi. It's much better than using "reduplication" as a catchall term (as per the Wiki) to describe both duplication and quasi-duplication.
