The second <i> varies between and [@], just like the first <i> in <politics>.

Re: How do you pronounce "Wikipedia"?
Not sure whether my English pronunciation would help (/wIkI'pi:di(j)@/), but in Slovene, most people pronounce it something like /,viki'pedija/, with an actual [e] in the stressed syllable.

[ˌwɪɡ̊iˈpʰiːjːə(ː)]
(I transcribed it with [ɡ̊] rather than [k] as my particular subdialect tends to lenite unstressed intervocalic /p/ and /k/.)

Re: How do you pronounce "Wikipedia"?
Also, do you have the merger of /ə ɪ/ in unstressed position? And can /i/ appear fully unstressed (i.e. same length as /ə/)?

[ʋiki'peːdija]
The weirdest way I ever heard someone pronounce it is:
[ʋikipə'dijɑ]
Yes. That's stress on the penultimate syllable.

Re: How do you pronounce "Wikipedia"?
I guess something like [wIki''pI:dja] in English, and [viki''pedia] in Hebrew, or, in the more usual fast speech, [vikipedja].

In every U.S. presidential election between 1976 and 2004, the Republican nominee for president or for vice president was either a Dole or a Bush.

Re: How do you pronounce "Wikipedia"?
[?ikipi:di?] in English, the first ? stands for either [w], [v] or [ʋ], I can't really tell which, and the second ? is a vowel of unknown quality. In Swedish it's [vikipe:dia]. I have no idea of stress placement in either language.
