Hello, I'm Cyberwolf434344. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. •C y b erw o l f• 12:45, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, CBrowneBCIS, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Building Cost Information Service, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! UtherSRG (talk) 12:54, 3 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Cyber Wolf,
 * Could you please update our Wiki page to this?
 * The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS), provides cost and price data for the UK construction industry. It was a part of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) until it became an independent company in June 2022, after securing investment from Lloyds Development Capital (LDC), the private equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group.[1]
 * Here's the article that proves we're now an independent company. LDC backs BCIS (privateequitywire.co.uk)
 * I tried uploading the copy under a different username as you suggested, but it's been rejected twice now.
 * Thank you.

 * I have moved your request to Talk:Building Cost Information Service, as it is the appropriate location for such queries. If you want more help, change the help me-helped back into a help me, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.
