OK, so: it's Wikipedia with a P, because hardly anyone donates to anything except Wikipedia (although Commons gets about 3% of mentions in donors letters at a guess, and Wikinews/WikiSource maybe 1%), and the address is designed for non-Wikimedians who either want to learn, or want to donate. People writing to us will either know the difference between Wikimedia and Wikipedia (in which case they won't be confused), or they won't know the difference, in which case we should use the most well-known name.The name that sticks in their minds most is 'Wikipedia'!
I know the difference, and I still get confused...
