Hello Sandranomoto. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Sandranomoto. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:37, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for making the required disclosure. Please do make sure you familiarize yourself with the guidelines for conflict of interest editing. Specifically, you have been directly editing articles in the area where you have a paid COI, which is not permitted. If you wish to suggest edits to an existing article, propose your edits on the article's talk page, and then place request edit above your suggestion for review by an editor who does not have a conflict of interest. It will be expected that the material will be neutral in tone and content, and be supported by reliable and independent sources. If you are proposing to create a new article, do so as a draft and request review by articles for creation (in this case, that's already what you did, so just for reference). Also, please do familiarize yourself with what we mean by a neutral point of view. "Talking up" of anyone or anything, or the use of puff adjectives (as with in one of your edits, calling something "prestigious"), is not in line with that.

Edit request: History
Co-founder Madeleine Shaw started making cloth menstrual pads and period underwear in response to health and environmental concerns in the early 1990s and wrote the first business plan as a student at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in 1994. Switching to the practice of washing and reusing her own supplies inspired her to commercialize them. In 1999 Lunapads was co-founded with Suzanne Siemens, an accountant that Shaw met at a community leadership course. Sharing a similar business vision, they combined their skills to develop Lunapads as an international company. The company’s mission was "to create a more positive and informed relationship between woman and their bodies and the Earth".

Siemens has been Aisle’s CEO since 2013, while Shaw serves the company as Director of Partnership and Impact.

Lunapads was one of the first companies in the world to create reusable menstrual care products, make and sell period underwear (under the name Lunapanties) , and champion menstrual equity globally.

In 2000 the company’s focus broadened beyond Global North consumers to include girls’ education in the Global South, and since then Shaw and Siemens have created and participated in programs that have directly impacted the lives of over 300,000 school-aged girls in 17 countries. Through their 2009 mentorship of the startup of Uganda-based AFRIpads, the number rises to 3.5 million and counting.

Aisle has been a certified B Corporation since 2012. It has received a “Best for the World” designation (ranking in the top 10% of all B Corps globally) five times for its commitment in the areas of sustainability, environmental justice and social justice.

Lunapads was a SheEO Top 5 Venture in 2015, based on votes from 500 Activators and selected from among a field of 267 applicant Ventures.

In 2020, Aisle became the first menstrual care company in Canada to be Living Wage for Families certified.

In 2020, Lunapads rebranded as Aisle. Sandranomoto (talk) 21:52, 24 October 2022 (UTC) Sandranomoto (talk) 21:52, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Edit request: Description
Add after two existing paragraphs:

Nineteen billion disposable pads and tampons are used and discarded annually in the USA alone. Aisle’s products are responsible for the diversion of millions of disposable pads and tampons from entering landfills.

Aisle has demonstrated “commitment to transparency and sustainability” through obtaining proof from third party agencies, laboratories and certification bodies to support their textile and performance claims.

Aisle’s intersectional feminist approach has been to demonstrate leadership being one of the first period care brands to publicly recognize transgender and non-binary gender inclusion in the menstrual space in 2011.

In 2020 Aisle conducted a third-party Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of its products.

In an independent study by Mamavation (May 2021) exploring the risk of potentially hazardous chemicals such as PFAS, of the 14 different brands of period underwear around the world, Aisle underwear was one of the top recommended brands.

On the issue of period poverty in Vancouver, Aisle has partnered with several organizations on multiple initiatives to provide marginalized populations in need with sustainable menstrual supplies. Aisle is a signatory to the United Way’s Period Promise program, and Madeleine Shaw serves as a member of its Period Promise Community Action Group.

Hi Sandranomoto, this is the wrong place to put edit requests. Instead, please post the edit requests on the talk page of the article you would like to edit. I have marked the above as answered. Z1720 (talk) 20:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Making edit requests
The reasons your edit requests were not approved are (a) not adding a tag or (b) adding  which marks the request as already answered. I have fixed these on the article talk pages. I see you have repeated the requests on your user talk page, which is the wrong place for them, so I have not fixed those. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 08:14, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
