Note that the chart positions added for the Mandy Smith page differ between edits, so it does not appear that they are using a source with the same information to alter the chart positions each time - they appear to be fabricated chart peaks. No sources are provided for the changes, and no explanation is given in the edit summary. The user also does not respond to warnings left on their talk page/s. It appears that the user switches IP address so that they can continue to vandalise the articles without being blocked. Nqr9 (talk) 10:18, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
