Yes,
it's what I mean by "I notice that every winter we have these increase of
editors , most probably due to the fundraising campaign."
That's certainly not the reason, as Anders explained and as can easily
be seen in stats.
1) January is consistently the month of high growth since 2003 (highest
since 2006) and I don't think we always had such banners?
2) It happens in projects where the banners no longer run (though they
did in the 2010-2011 "WIKIPEDIA FOREVER" campaign IIRC):

Not to mention that now fundraising banners are enabled all year long.
