The Wikipedia article uses a funny defintion of equivalent that I have not heard yet even though I use the term extremely frequently in the lab. But they define it well so here goes:
One equivalent of ions is defined as $1~\mathrm{mol}$ of charge. So if we dissolve $1~\mathrm{mol}$ of $\ce{Na+}$, we have exactly $1~\mathrm{mol}$ of positive charges in solution, so $1~\mathrm{mol} \cdot 1~e = 1~\mathrm{eq}$ ($e$ being the elemental charge). The $1~\mathrm{mol}$ of $\ce{Cl-}$ contributes $1~\mathrm{eq}$ of negative charges, balancing the entire thing.
Calcium, however, has a $\mathrm{+II}$ oxidation state. So $1~\mathrm{mol}$ of $\ce{Ca^2+}$ gives us $1~\mathrm{mol} \cdot 2~e = 2~\mathrm{eq}$ of positive charge.
