I get the same with 1.11.4 on WinXP.

On minotaur, I get

ERROR: cannot verify wiki.openoffice.org's certificate, issued by
'/C=US/O=DigiCert Inc/CN=DigiCert Secure Server CA':
  Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.

Adding --no-check-certificate allows wget to work with a Warning:

WARNING: cannot verify wiki.openoffice.org's certificate, issued by
'/C=US/O=DigiCert Inc/CN=DigiCert Secure Server CA':
  Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.

Could be true.

Yes, Firefox, Opera are now happy, as is IE once on gets past the cert error.
