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
