This is unusual behaviour, certainly.I can see that the notes in the US are being closed en masse as they can't be verified through compatible sources.
On looking at the notes added in Australia, they do seem to be an automated script comparing what's in OSM to an external source.
The notes added to Nhulunbuy, Groote Eylandt and Maningrida don't seem to be coming from a suitable NT give source. One of the notes suggests a street name for a road I was only able to find in Google Maps.
I would support a similar mass closure of these notes, referring to the lack of licensing information and directing Anonymous to contact the community.

Just a heads up to let you know that someone is currently trying to bypass the import requirements of OSM by creating thousands of anonymous map notes. Seems to have started in the US and Canada: https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-notes-country?c=United%20States https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-notes-country?c=Canada and has now includes Australia: https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-notes-country?c=Australia _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
