Sonic,

How would one say "This is the German language Wikipedia" in German?

I can make all of these point to the same place, but we will still want one of them to be 'canonical'.

Please see http://deutsche.wikipedia.com/

Should this be deutsche.wikipedia.com or deutsch.wikipedia.com ?

The latter, I thought. Oder?

either the latter or simply de.wikipedia.com (which is the ccTLD and used for many German divisions of international sites (like de.yahoo.com)). Both 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).
