Ah, I believe these are editor's edit-measurements based on "IP
address", which is something quite different from "base of operation".
I tend to edit pages geo-located in the US when I visit those places,
and I imagine many others not based in the US do the same. The same
holds for all other countries as well.

Not commenting on the topic of the thread, is
there any data around to
show that the English Wikipedia is mainly written by North Americans
(aka residents of the US and Canada)? Seems to me that it is likely to
be the case but not 100% obvious.
Nathan said a bias, not "mainly written", but yes:

40 % USA, 17 % UK (to be taken with a grain of salt).
