Some changes needed
Hello, I have a connection to Martina Milburn and I would like to declare my conflict of interest to make this request.

1. Milburn is no longer a trustee at Media Trust, and this doesn’t really need its own section. I propose moving this to the end of the Career section before the Prince’s Trust section, and adapting as follows:


 * from


 * Milburn has been a trustee of Media Trust, the UK's leading communications charity, since October 2009.


 * to


 * Milburn was a trustee of Media Trust, the UK's leading communications charity, from October 2009 to May 2012.


 * ✅ but removed the link to the Media Trust homepage, which doesn't do anything for our purposes. Also removed "leading" as a weasel word not in the source. STEM info  (talk) 01:09, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

2. The sources in the Personal life section do not actually support any of the claims here, and the section should be deleted until better source material can be identified. Here is the content for deletion:


 * Milburn is the eldest of five sisters.


 * She has been married twice, and her current husband Keith works for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).


 * ✅ Poorly or unsourced. WP:BLP has a higher standard. STEM info  (talk) 03:36, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

3. Can the following paragraphs in the Prince's Trust section be deleted from the article? They are more about the Trust than Milburn, disproportionately focused on statistics which are likely no longer in date and the year 2008, (due to being the year they were added, rather than that year having any special significance), and some references are now dead links. The section would now be quite short and could be integrated into the Career section rather than being its own subsection (see next point).


 * Milburn regularly speaks publicly about The Prince's Trust's work with young people and in August 2008, spoke of how research suggested that young people are creating their own "youth communities" and gangs. At the same time The Prince's Trust was running a campaign, Change the Record, to counter the negative images that the media give about young people. Milburn has also explained how The Prince's Trust's Team programme is part of a joined up package of support which helps three in four young people to achieve positive outcomes. She said about The Prince's Trust Team program in 2008 that "Our great worry was that, on The Prince's Trust Team programme, you took them through the 12 weeks, you built up their expectation and [then] they fell off the cliff face.


 * When Milburn joined The Prince's Trust in 2004, the charity was helping 41,680 young people a year, and by 2007–08 41,324. During Milburn's time as chief executive the charity has increasingly directed its help to young people who are long term unemployed, and the charity has increasingly measured its success as an organisation by how many young people they have got off the unemployment register, by getting them into some employment, training or education. This figure has risen over four years from 76% to 79%.


 * Milburn regularly attends high-profile royal events as the representative of The Prince's Trust.

4. There are details missing from the Career section, could the following be added to fill out the gaps? I have included my proposed Media Trust sentence from point 1 and the shorter Prince's Trust text remaining from point 3 so that all career information is now in this section and not divided.


 * In 1993 she became the chief executive of the Association of Spinal Injury Research Rehabilitation and Reintegration (ASPIRE) charity for seven years, where she ensured that the Aspire National Training Centre was completed on time and on budget. In July 2000 she became the chief executive of the BBC Children in Need Appeal, serving until 2004.


 * In May 2004 Milburn became chief executive of The Prince's Trust, succeeding Sir Tom Shebbeare who had been at The Prince's Trust for 16 years. Milburn was appointed group chief executive (covering the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United States and International) in 2017 and retired from the position in 2022.


 * Milburn was a trustee of Media Trust, the UK's leading communications charity, from October 2009 to May 2012.<ref name="Media Trust"


 * She was appointed Chair of the Social Mobility Commission in 2018, serving two years until May 2020.


 * As of 2023 she holds active positions at the Windsor Leadership Trust and Dial Global Limited.

 * All outstanding requests ✅ Lewcm Talk to me! 09:04, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Nationality
The article should state her nationality. Is she American? British? Irish? Australian? We don't say. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:44, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Piotrus Milburn is British, which the reference here should confirm. If you decide you want to add this into the article (I can if you like but as I have a conflict of interest it's probably better that I don't), would you mind having a look at the 2 unanswered points of my edit request above to see if there are any other changes you'd be happy to make?
