en.wikipedia (and some other smaller projects as well) have overproportional heavy use of CheckUser.
I disagree. en.wikipedia receives far more traffic than any other wiki. en.wikipedia receives more edits than any other wiki. I expect it would follow that en.wikipedia receives a similarly high proportion of trolling and sockpuppetry.
You quoted "> 50%" of checkuser uses are on en.wikipedia. Looking at traffic figures (Alexa), this seems about right.
Already mentionned, but worth repeating.
According to Alexa, the french language wikipedia represent 2% of the traffic. Given that it is right now the third biggest language on Wikipedia, I can't help consider that Alexa's international data should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Perhaps it is more de.wikipedia using CheckUser proportionally very little rather than en.wikipedia using it proportionally very much.
