Major contribution tag

Hello,

I have addressed the URL concern pointed out by an editor, which may have contributed to the major contributor tag remaining. If there are any remaining issues that need attention, please let me know so I can make the necessary improvements. Otherwise, I kindly request that the tag be removed. Or let me know if permitted to do this myself. Thanks Repsjared (talk) 01:06, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Repsjared, your COI statement is what Theroadislong cited when adding the CoI flag (to what was then still a draft). Let's see what Theroadislong says about removing it. -- Hoary (talk) 05:18, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

User:Repsjared needs to STOP editing the article directly and use the edit request system as they are a paid editor. Theroadislong (talk) 07:29, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Noted. Repsjared (talk) 08:36, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind response and also tagging Theroadislong. I understand why they added the tag, and also see they have made a few deletions. However, the tag remains. Not sure why at this point. Repsjared (talk) 08:33, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

• What I think should be changed (include citations): Under Founders in the Infobox: Please delete reference links for Marcus Wee and Joe Wee.

• Why it should be changed: Links may not be necessary.

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

The citations seem fine? I'm not sure what the issue here is. It's okay not to cite things in infoboxes if they're cited in the body, but it's also okay to cite them. Rusalkii (talk) 17:50, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

This is understood. Just wasn't sure if it was an issue. Thanks Repsjared (talk) 19:51, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

• What I think should be changed (include citations): Aftershock PC is a custom gaming computer manufacturer specialising in gaming computers and systems.

• Added term "custom"

• Why it should be changed: Aftershock PC specializes on building custom gaming desktops and laptops, which is a distinct niche. The term “custom” accurately reflects their business model

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

 Not done Source says "offering both custom builds through its website and a huge range of pre-built ready-to-ship PCs". I don't think this supports the first sentence saying "custom gaming computer manufacturer", though the custom end of their business could definitely be mentioned somewhere.

Thanks for this information. Completely understood. Repsjared (talk) 19:50, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

• Aftershock PC products includes laptops, desktops, workstations, PC designs, gaming monitors and periperical devices such as mouse and keyboard. Since its early laptop and desktop products like Titan, SM series, and Tremor, Aftershock PC has utilized components from hardware manufacturers such as Intel, NVIDIA and AMD. As of 2024, Intel, NVIDIA and AMD are consistent components across its product designs.  Not done per WP:NOTPRICE and WP:PROMO Encoded  Talk 💬 17:30, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

• Aftershock PC offers liquid cooling desktop systems, such as Ultracore and Explorer. An earlier model of Ultracore supported optional open-loop liquid cooling and customizable aesthetics, while the Explorer featured a default open-loop cooling system with components such as hardline tubing and an open-air chassis. However, a 2022 Ultracore model featured a liquid cooling system for the CPU and spacious interior and airflow capabilities. Earlier that year, Aftershock PC introduced Apex 15x EVO laptop, featuring Glacier Core, an external liquid-cooling module.  Not done per WP:NOTPRICE and WP:PROMO Encoded  Talk 💬 17:30, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
