User talk:RIBA Press Office

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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! VViking Talk Edits 13:58, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Removal of RIBA Plan of Work from Royal Institute of British Architects
@ user:RIBA Press Office, please explain why the section headed "RIBA Plan of Work" has been removed in its entirety from the article on the Royal Institute of British Architects, 26 June 2019, 13:54.

The intention in including this section was to provide a brief and attributed summary of the plan of work for the general Wikipedia reader, without compromising copyright or circumventing the need to refer to RIBA documentation in order to gain a more complete understanding. I would like to reinstate this section as I believe it is useful. The original text read:

''The RIBA Plan of Work, first developed in 1963, is "a stage-by-stage model" designed "to assist all members of [a] project team to manage the process from inception to completion and beyond". The latest version is the "RIBA Plan of Work 2013", which has eight stages:

''*Stage 0: Strategic Definition

''*Stage 1: Plan and Brief

''*Stage 2: Concept Design

''*Stage 3: Developed Design

''*Stage 4: Technical Design

''*Stage 5: Construction

''*Stage 6: Handover and Close Out

''*Stage 7: In Use

''The previous version, "RIBA Outline Plan of Work 2007", used letters for each stage (stages A-L) rather than numbers. ''

If there are any specific ways in which this material would compromise copyright, please let me know via my talk page or suggest an amended version.
