PR people are welcome to edit almost any of them, just not the ones that relate to their clients, themselves or their employer, or compete with any of those or are fully protected.

With my comms head on (and as an individual, not an employee of WMUK) I would say this is very difficult. The exception in my view would be neutral factual data, such as addresses, date of formation and so on. Even things such as financial information could be seen as a COI, especially if they show their client in a favourable light.
