You can definitely get this data for *anonymous* editors based on IP address, and there are several visualization tools that already do something similar to this -- real-time visualization of edits to *all* Wikipedia articles.
Just a quick Google search found [1], but I'm sure there are several. It seems like you could probably take this a step further and generate charts that use the current revision and match added text to editors (already done by various services) and then, for all IP edits, calculate their locations (could be on various levels) and display them in a graphic form weighted by amount of content currently in the article and based on the number from different countries, perhaps. This would obviously be external from Wikipedia, though. Seems kind of intriguing, and I might just take a look into it at some point, unless any of y'all already know if this has been done previously...
