Another possibility is to have:
   http://www.wikipedia.org/
   http://www.wikipedia.com/
   http://wikipedia.org/
   http://wikipedia.com/
merely be a static page that links to the various languages, while:
   http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/*
   http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/*
   http://wikipedia.com/wiki/*
   http://wikipedia.org/wiki/*
would go to the English to preserve existing links, while the canonical 
urls for such would be:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*

Unless you'd prefer to move the meta wiki into the www.wikipedia.org 
place and declare it to be multilingual. (Shudder)
