I think I found something similar to what I'm looking for

Rather than give these workarounds, it might be useful to know *why* you want to know this information. That is, what is your end goal? We may be able to suggest a better strategy if we know that.

Ultimately, the only thing we know about an article's creator is what
that
creator has stated publicly. So for a given country, you *could* do something for "created by self-described users from that country" by
using,
eg,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_in_Singapore
and running the names through http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/pages/
It'll take some time and get you a list of pages, but it'll have some big problems:
- it'll miss out all the users from Singapore who haven't publicised
where
they're from
- it'll include articles they wrote when outside of Singapore
- it'll include articles by people who say they're in Singapore but
aren't
really
So perhaps not a very useful list, all told...

Yes. Created by users from that country.
Ok, so no we don't and it's not possible, except for unregistered
users.
We have something for edits, though: <http://stats.wikimedia.org/** wikimedia/squids/**SquidReportPageEditsPerLanguag**eBreakdown.htm<
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageEditsPerLanguageB...
It should be good enough if we assume that the proportion of edits
which
are article creations doesn't differ hugely from country to country. There's an ongoing discussion about producing more breakdowns of aggregated data on editors at http://lists.wikimedia.org/** pipermail/analytics/2013-**August/000857.html<
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/analytics/2013-August/000857.html%3E, if you're interested.
