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.
