Is Checkuser is kind of Wikipedia specific or has this function spread 
to all wikis?

Might cc this thread to the various Wikipedia lists and the Wiki 
Ambassaders or other language chapters looking for partners.

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.
