Yeah. The last per-country stats I recall were Greg
Maxwell's from
2007. (Though there may have been some since then.)
Though those told us an interesting thing: ~50% of edits on en:wp are
from the US, ~25% are from the UK. The populations are 300m and 60m
respectively. This means that per head of population, British editors
are 2 1/2 times as active as American ones - English WIkipedia thus
has disproportionate British participation. (I got to use this on
someone from the BBC a coupla years ago, gathering background, who'd
assumed en:wp was basically an American effort. He was quite
impressed.)
