Have we tried using it for advertising for ourselves? I mean a huge chunky donate form, + soft redirect to .org, might encourage people to both donate, and remember the url correctly. :)
I like this idea. I think wikipedia.com could be an excellent place to have a page of the type:
"Welcome to Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is not like other web companies out there. [a bit of passionate text about what makes us different] Now, if you want to read Wikipedia content, please go to .. If you want to support Wikipedia, please go to .."
This would allow us to retain redirects from article URLs as well.

Of course I think we should be doing a little of this on our primary URLs too. But the .com would be an obvious target.
