I have done some editing in northern China based on Bing imagery and most of the Data i saw from JamesSK at that time seemed to be originating from Bing imagery e.g. it stopped at clouds etc ... Some of it was based on old bing imagery which was misplaced and replaced by newer imagery which was more accuratly georeferenced. A lot of edits were years old ... I did not find anything suspicious about his edits - although its a vast amout of data he/she/it added.
