Wives
The page for this individual states that he was married three times and was childless. I would like to find the names of his three wives but have had no luck so far. Any helpo would be appreciated.

Name
Should the article not be Augustus William, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel? I find in contemporary English decoments be was known as the Duke of Wolfenbüttel. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:23, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Adding sexual orientation category to this biography is a WP:CAT/R violation
WP:CAT/R For a dead person, there must be a verified consensus of reliable published sources that the description is appropriate. For example, while some sources have claimed that William Shakespeare was gay or bisexual, there is not a sufficient consensus among scholars to support categorizing him as such. Similarly, a living person who is caught in a gay prostitution scandal, but continues to assert their heterosexuality, can not be categorized as gay. Categories that make allegations about sexuality – such as "closeted homosexuals" or "people suspected to be gay" – are not acceptable under any circumstances. If such a category is created, it should be immediately depopulated and deleted. Note that as similar categories of this type have actually been attempted in the past, they may be speedily deleted (as a G4) and do not require another debate at Categories for discussion.

We need reliable sources for category claims. It may well be that such sources are indeed available and you can list them in the article - but if not, then who is saying that these people fit the bill? Just deciding that you think they fit the description is Original Research - and that's not allowed here. I need to see a few reliable little blue number in each categorization that links to a reference document that can be examined to confirm Basic Academic rigour.
