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.
