Some interesting demographic data for main space edits to our largest
Wikipedia projects may be found at
http://meta.wkimedia.org/wiki/Edits_by_project_and_country_of_origin.

My thanks to Greg Maxwell for his invaluable assistance generating this data.

Some observations
* NL and BE are language sluts.
* ptwiki gets quite a bit more edits from BR than from PT, although
almost 75% of edits from PT are to ptwiki.
* MX has a depressingly low participation in eswiki.

Not reported in the data on the page, but possibly of interest: US
accounts for 27.61% of edits to the projects sampled, followed by DE
at 10.01% and GB at 8.15%.
