The only way someone could tell is by illegal checkusers - do you have evidence of checkuser abuse?
Illegal? I think not. Wikipedia is a private project, CheckUser is legally allowed as much or as little as we want to use it.
We voluntarily undertake not to run frivolous CheckUser checks, or to reveal personal data per our privacy policy, but there is nothing illegal about CheckUser.
I meant illegal under the relevant polices, not any national laws. I'll try to use more precise language in future, sorry.
