either the latter or simply

versions sound funny, because deutsche implies a female gender while
Wikipedia is no German word and thus has no gender (of course you could
create one, but it still sounds strange), while "deutsch" has no
grammatical
relation to "Wikipedia" at all (in German, two nouns cannot be placed
next to
each other).
