By this rule, I would think that "wikipedia" (small letters) should refer to any of various language wikipedias (e.g. de.wikipedia.org and zh.wikipedia.org), whereas "Wikipedia" (capitalized) should refer to the big mama that comprises all the daughter wikipedias (the Wikipedia should be www.wikipedia.org, though that link automatically points to the wikipedia at en.wikipedia.org, I guess because that one was the first, and is the largest and the most visited).
Oh and... www.wikipedia.org pointing at en.wikipedia.org is a historical artifact. An oddity :-) Certainly because it was the first one. The correct adress was initially www.wikipedia.com. There have been many discussions to change that... have a portal page, or an automatic redirection...but...
Other newer projects are not necessarily so, and the www. adress may point to a portal page bringing to all languages
