OK, everyone -- I learned my lesson! Thanks for teaching it.
They say you are not really part of the tech team until you have broken the site. I guess you are not really part of the Wikimedia community until you've got a whole thread on some Wikimedia mailing list criticizing your actions... ;)
So...welcome to the Wikimedia community Zack! ;-)
I was looking at it from the perspective of the reader who has never heard the word "Wikimedia". There are millions and millions of them. Luckily they simply think we are misspelling Wikipedia, and are donating anyways. We will continue to answer their emails alerting us to our error with patient explanations.
Thank you and the fundraising team for a quick reaction and thorough explanations.
Best,
