The big problem with this idea (other than the fact that the wikipedia fundraising model isn't broken at all), is that it's asking Wikipedia to use it's hard-earned clout and prestige to "improve the world" in an area that is not part of it's focus (micropayments).
Not to mention that if a banner once a year asking for money looks awkward, a micropayments button next to every single article is going to look a lot worse.
