With 8% more editors contributing over 100 edits in June 2015 than in June 2014 https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm, we have now had six consecutive months where this particular metric of the core community is looking positive.
I'm not sure I see this pattern, there aren't even 2 consecutive months of month-over-month growth. In general I'm not sure the 100+ count is among the most reliable.
The one (global) pattern I do see is 9 consecutive months of YoY growth at https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikimediaAllProjects_AllMonths.htm but I still suspect issues with deduplication or bots after the SUL finalisation. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87738#1366152
Would anyone on this list be aware of something that would have otherwise thrown that statistic?
Suspects could perhaps be narrowed down by looking at factors shared by en.wiki and it.wiki, as they seem to be the only ones with a small 2015 recovery in the trend graphs at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Active_editor_spike_2015
