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).
Wikipedia is a multilingual project which comprises *all* Wikipedias. If you speak of "the" Wikipedia, you are including all language subprojects.
