You can definitely get this data for *anonymous* editors based on IP
address,
and there are several visualization tools that already do something similar
to this --
real-time visualization of edits to *all* Wikipedia articles.
Just a quick Google search found [1], but I'm sure there are several.
It seems like you could probably take this a step further and generate
charts
that use the current revision and match added text to editors (already done
by various services) and then, for all IP edits, calculate their locations
(could
be on various levels) and display them in a graphic form weighted by amount
of content currently in the article and based on the number from different
countries,
perhaps.
This would obviously be external from Wikipedia, though. Seems kind of
intriguing,
and I might just take a look into it at some point, unless any of y'all
already know if
this has been done previously...
Cheers,
Theo

Is there a way to visualize where editors of a
specific page come from?
I assume you mean if this data is available to the general
public. By
reading the couple links you posted seems like the consensus was that this
data is too private to be made public and thus, it is only accessible
inside WMF or to users with CheckUser rights.
As far as we know nothing has changed in this regard so this type of
"geo-data" is not available to general public.
