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): http://stats.wikimedia.org/wiktionary/EN/TablesWikipediansEditsGt5.htm Jan 2014 +3% 836 Jan 2013 +4% 843 Jan 2012 +5% 779
Not to mention that now fundraising banners are enabled all year long.
