Anybody got a claim on user "user_5365"?
[http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/user_5365/]

This user is doing lots of Canvec importing, and is actually
self-identifying as a bot (with the tag "bot=yes"). Rather
disconcerting, considering the fierce debate that happened just a
couple weeks ago over on talk at .

This user seems to be working mostly in Alberta. Have they made many
errors? It would be nice if JOSM had a plugin to assist in
spot-checking a user's work (by automatically downloading the areas
they worked on, so that they can be looked over).

There's a high probability that this was the user who nuked a section
of Hwy 93 near BC/AB border, but that could have been one mistake in a
sea of excellent quality edits.

Let's try and nip this one in the bud before it becomes a problem.

Adam
