Is Checkuser is kind of Wikipedia specific or has this function spread to all wikis?
CheckUser is available on all Wikimedia projects.
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.
My personal recommendation is for a commission of five, one of whom should be a Board member. Without a Board member, the commission can only be advisory.
