Is Checkuser is kind of Wikipedia specific or has this function spread to all wikis?
It is used on all wikis. I know it has been used on Wikinews quite a bit lately.
Might cc this thread to the various Wikipedia lists and the Wiki Ambassaders or other language chapters looking for partners.
Great idea.
Two is excellent for alternate viewpoints and highly increased reliability.
Three is the first odd number which provides both redundancy and no deadlock capacity assuming each checker provides a firm yes or no there is or is not a problem. Three way spread with complicated opinions probably means more review is necessary to figure out what the hell is really going on or a simple no conclusion.

Generally the idea of an ombudsperson is to work independently, that way things can be resolved quickly, although having a group of people may work if the issue is still in dispute. Cheers, Nathan
