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.

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