::It's gone again :( [[User:Secretlondon|Secretlondon]] ([[User talk:Secretlondon|talk]]) 21:22, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Would probably make sense to set up the task for the [[Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor|Bot activity monitor]], so [[User:AmandaNP|AmandaNP]] get's notified automatically when it stopps.

== QuantumComputingMedia ==

I am on the fence with this one, {{noping|QuantumComputingMedia}}.  The name comes across to me as a group to me but on their user page they do make a paid declaration and state the "account is managed by a representative from Atom Computing Inc".  If it were QuantumComputingMediaRep I would fine but maybe that's nitpicky.  [[User:S0091|S0091]] ([[User talk:S0091|talk]]) 17:19, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
