Wikimedia indisputably now exists to serve the English Wikipedia. Wikimedia is quick to call Sue "Wikipedia Executive Director," isn't it? Or plaster "Wikipedia founder" on every fundraiser-related publication? Out of the last X extensions enabled on Wikimedia wikis, how many were written primarily for the English Wikipedia (MoodBar, WikiLove, ArticleFeedback, etc.)? If you can't provide percentages to the question above, do you know of any resources that have gone to a site other than Wikimedia Commons or a Wikipedia in the past five years? What resources have been devoted to Wikinews in particular?
The "Wikipedia Executive Director" thing was a short-lived, misguided (but well-intentioned) attempt to avoid confusing donors by refering to brands they weren't familiar with. "Wikipedia founder" is just correct. Jimmy did (co-)found Wikipedia. "Wikimedia founder" would be controversial - Jimmy didn't found the other projects. He did found (or, at least, was involved in founding) the WMF, but that's not the same thing as founding Wikimedia.
