Well, you can use Hot Articleshttp://toolserver.org/~tim1357/cgi-bin/HotArticles/, although I think it only searches categories that are listed on talk pages.
http://toolserver.org/~tim1357/cgi-bin/HotArticles/?category=1&name=Wiki...
http://toolserver.org/~tim1357/cgi-bin/HotArticles/?category=1&name=Good...
Still, that doesn't limit you too much, as long as you can find a geographically-related WikiProject, e.g. http://toolserver.org/~tim1357/cgi-bin/HotArticles/?category=1&name=Wiki...
Edits by geographic location might require an official analytics request :)

Does anyone know how to find or generate a list of the most frequently edit Wikipedia articles in a certain category? We received a question from a large newspaper who is interested in learning which topics from their country received the most editor attention on the English Wikipedia.
There are tools like http://www.wikistats.co/ (most edits during the past 24h hours) and Wikirage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikirage , seems currently defunct though). But they don't offer restricting the list per category.
I guess I'm looking for something like http://toolserver.org/~magnus/ts2/treeviews/ with edit counts instead of page views, and capable of handling large category trees like that for a country.
Hints about related results are appreciated too (e.g. articles most frequently edited *from* a certain country). -- Tilman Bayer Senior Operations Analyst (Movement Communications) Wikimedia Foundation
