I see this all the time too, and I can't understand it, people don't say "I looked it up in the Encyclopedia Britannica", they say "I looked it up in Encyclopedia Britannica". It's really quite strange that they wouldn't use the same construct for wikipedia..........
But they would say "I looked it up in the encyclopaedia" - maybe they think "wiki" is just some weird web term, so it would be like saying "I looked it up in the weblopaedia" or something. Rather than realising there is *one* Wikipedia. ?
