[edit]Auguste/Augusta?
Is this a major conflict? Then this article should be moved. I working by Anglo-centric early 20th century books, so spelling foreign names isn't their strong suite.--ZayZayEM 12:05, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Incorrect page title
[edit]Augusta Viktoria was a Princess of Schleswig-Holstein, not a duchess.
Unreferenced
[edit]A reference tag has been added because the article has become a POV debate over the subject's character. Tone is not encyclopedic, and cites are sorely needed. JNW 21:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC) Too right, such unsupported assertions are NPOV - not to mention inflammatory - and should be removed. I'll give the article one week (unless convinced work is being done) otherwise they go. Plutonium27 14:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Correct page title
[edit]The title of this article should be "Empress Auguste Viktoria, consort of William II, German Emperor." Torontonian1 (talk) 17:31, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Victoria or Viktoria
[edit]The spelling of this name has nothing to do with the Kulturkampf. It is a trend since the early 19th century to germanize the spelling of foreign or "modernize" the spelling of German(ic) words and names. Examples are: Victoria - Viktoria, Carl - Karl, Cöln (Cologne) - Köln, Adolph - Adolf, Photograph - Fotograf, Cultur - Kultur, Ocean - Ozean, ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.221.53.125 (talk) 21:30, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
State of her marriage
[edit]The wiki page for Philipp, Prince of Eulenburg says:
- In October 1900, there were what Eulenburg called "appalling scenes" as the Empress behaved "like a madwoman" as she started to scream and cry uncontrollably, complaining that the Emperor did not love her, did not help with raising their children and spent all of his time with Eulenburg.[1] The Kaiserin also accused her husband of having an affair with Eulenburg.[2]
There might be a case for briefly evaluating the happiness, or otherwise, of her marriage. Valetude (talk) 19:25, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Large Gap in the Article's Historical Coverage?
[edit]There seems to be a large gap in article's historical coverage of Augusta's life. There is almost no information covering the span from 1890 to 1920, except that she was at her mother-in-law's bedside in 1901. Notably, the article states that in 1920 she was suffering from "the shock of exile and abdication," yet there's no explanation of when/where/why she was exiled, or of anything about her life during the years leading up to World War I or the war itself.

die Augusta Viktoria Schule
[edit]There's also a high school ('Gymnasium') in Flensburg named after her. Perhaps someone could add that to the list at the end of the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100E:B0C4:54BB:BCF5:E090:1E90:714A (talk) 00:22, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
