I appreciate the offer.  I actually removed one checkuser request from 
Meta because the request was over three months old and not going 
anywhere, or even a comment by any of the stewards if it was a proper 
type of request.  If you look at this page on Wikibooks:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks%3AVandalism_in_progress

you will see many comments from several admins that all complain about 
the lack of somebody with checkuser access locally to help deal with the 
growing problems of vandalism.  This page, BTW, is mainly for non-admins 
to communicate to admins for potentially blocking a specific user.  It 
is also in turn one of the top 5 most vandalized pages on Wikibooks as 
well. It also should be an example of the kinds of issues that somebody 
with checkuser status might be able to help out with on other projects. 
 I especially loved the vandalism done by User:Jimbo wales (lowercase w).
