why the fuck doesn't the banner on the english language site direct to the ENGLISH "personal appeal"?

ip based localization is fucking imbecilic.

What mystified me was all those mentions of {{$sitename}}. Is there an english community-based site somewhere that shares the funds, but not the name, of Wikipedia?

Donations go to Wikimedia, so I'd assume the funding gets split among all their projects[0]. If you take a look at, say, Wikibooks right now, you'll see the same banner there.
