There is again an article about Wikipedia on a website;
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/technology/2539258/detail.html
And for some strange reason the always use the domain www.wikipedia.com
So far can see all the XX.wikipedia.com domains point to the XX.wikipedia.org domains.
But when you use www.wikipedia.com it stays a .com
Should when you enter www.wikipedia.com it not display www.wikipedia.org or en.wikipedia.org?

Grr! They should stop doing then. If nobody knew about the site we wouldn't have half as much trouble with the servers. ;)

Fixed.

That's something to be lived with. Since Wikipedia has both the .com and .org domains the searcher can still be easily served.
I believe that many people simply presume that a site is ".com" without even looking at the facts. Once they get to us we can explain the situation, but not before.
