I've tried but dismally failed to edit the infobox at Wikidata (clearly I have no idea how that is supposed to work - I suggest using a standard infobox, that most editors will find easy to understand). Anyway, she was born in 1965, not 1964 or 1966, so someone more competent than I needs to do the editing. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 10:56, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
1965 is now input in Wikidata, the infobox should short itself momentarily. Thank you! Rama ( talk) 15:12, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
There is no consensus to use this type of infobox. I have never seen an article on a person use this type and there's simply no reason too. In fact, consensus is clearly against using this type otherwise more articles would use them. It seems just a couple of users are pushing to use this type and if they didn't no one else would be seeking to use it.
What is this woman's nationality? 31.48.111.56 ( talk) 18:34, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
However, there is no reason for her not to be described in the lead as being Guyana-raised as that is factual and relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.69.100.141 ( talk) 12:50, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
It became Guyana in 1966 - do you have a reference that states she grew up somewhere else away from her Guyanese parents? And as a side note - the companies she is involved in aren't relevant/notable and shouldn't be mentioned in the lead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.69.100.141 ( talk • contribs) 13:07, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Do any editors think it would be a good idea to pipe the word "British" in the opening sentence to British nationality law, rather than to British people? Ghmyrtle ( talk) 11:18, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
Sources tell us that she lived there to age 10. Without getting into nitpicking detail of what counts as being "raised" somewhere, it seems a little excessive to suggest that anyone's formative years only go up to to age 10. The infobox includes her birthplace and that should be enough, at least for the lede.
Conversely, her business dealings and charity work are widely mentioned in sources, though they aren't obviously controversial. They have occupied much of her life up to 2016, and it seems perverse to leave them out of the lede. Richard Keatinge ( talk) 14:41, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
I've reverted this edit as it seems likely, from the editor's user name, that there may be conflict of interest issues. See the contact information on this page. Any article subject who is concerned about the accuracy of an article may of course request other editors to make those changes, per WP:PSCOI, but it is strongly advised that neither they nor their close associates seek to make changes themselves. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 13:55, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
The Outcome subsection doesn't actually state the outcome of the case. 84.248.218.89 ( talk) 13:05, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
The final sentence of the bio section states she has 3 children (source Nov. 4 Express article). However,the bio box shows 5 children (no specific source cited).
Hope someone can take care of this factual conflict. RaqiwasSushi ( talk) 01:26, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
This seems to have been written out of Wikipedia despite being recorded by the BBC, Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Times and other sources.
It appears that Ms Miller now denies that she went there but this appears to be either a previously falsified history or an attempt to rewrite history. I think that there is sufficient recorded evidence for this to be included.

On the website of her firm SCM50, the following statement appeared: ‘Gina has three degrees in marketing, human resource management and law.’ A similar statement appeared on her ‘Moneyshe’ website and in an online brochure for SCM Direct. In truth, Gina Miller does not have a law degree. She did study for one at the University of East London, but left before sitting her final exams. (She does have the two other degrees.) When asked about the discrepancy, her lawyers told the Mail she was unaware of the false claim prominently displayed on the website and said the responsibility for the mistake lay with a freelance copywriter. Nevertheless, that reference to a law degree is included in some of the flattering profiles compiled with her co-operation, including one in the anti-Brexit Financial Times.
However this is from the Daily Mail so I suppose we can't include it right? Reaper7 ( talk) 13:38, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
Is it correct to say that she leads campaigns to reverse the result? What does "reverse the result" actually mean here?
Is it not more accurate to say that she campaigns to frustrate the result of the referendum by thwarting its implementation? 89.207.1.20 ( talk) 13:53, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
Is it correct to say that she believes she should have more say on UK policy than the 52% - 17,410,742 brexit voters.
Is it correct to say that she is part of the money elite whose net worth will be greatly affected when the UK leave the EU. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.208.113.234 ( talk • contribs) 06:55, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
This is ambiguous. It offers two reasons for her leaving her law degree: her wish of her parents to return to Guyana, and her sexual assault. Needs clarification; perhaps both were contemporaneous? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.115.37.196 ( talk) 22:57, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Does anyone have any sources with a more specific birthplace listed than just "British Guiana"? I would assume she was born in Georgetown (by that point her father was already living there) but I can't seem to find any confirmation. HapHaxion ( talk / contribs) 00:55, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
Hello Praxidicae, I don't understand your revert [2]. Why should we include an opinion piece published in the Daily Express absent secondary coverage? I believe it is common practice to include opinion pieces only if their relevance is indicated through secondary coverage or if published in notable RS.
Including her opposition to Brexit in the "motivations" subsection suggests that this was the reason behind her lawsuit. Without a reliable source to make that connection we are engaging in original research. 82.132.241.2 ( talk) 18:30, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
