Failed verification tag on the children names: I found no evidence of Wilhelm being called William, and Eugene's birth name is not Eugen. I also have doubts on who was nicknamed Minna: the second wife or the daughter?
failed verification|date=June 2024|reason=The names are likely incorrect: the Science article refers to the second child as Wilhelm, and Dunnington also says he was known as Wilhelm the whole life. Where does William come from? Minna seems to be the nickname of the child from the first wife rather than the one of the second wife. Finally the German name of Eugene does not seem to be Eugen, rather Peter Samuel Marius Eugenius per Dunnington
============================================================================================================[edit]
"Anectodes" section: are you sure this is the best way to present it? (the answer can be yes!) See WP:TRIVIA.
WP:TRIVIA encourages the authors to integrate the trivia into the text. Now, when I started my work on 4 March 2023 (please cf. the page history), I already found the chapter "Anecdotes", but additionally some of them integrated in the text. If you look at WP in other languages (even if you don't be able to understand), you will see easily that nearly all Wikipedias integrate the counting anecdote or more in the text, whereas the scientific stuff is often incomplete. The anecdotes seem to be very important, more important — with great distance — than the scientific works and results of Gauss.
I want to hold a clear distance between biographical facts and scientific results on the one side, and the telled stories on the other side. The stories might be true or not, or have a true core with novelistic arabesques; you see it when an anecdote exists in different variants.
The biography does not need these anecdotes, and WP:TRIVIA says "Any speculative or factually incorrect entries should be removed, ..." But if we delete them, I am sure someone will restitute them after a short time. I don't like "Trivia", "Anecdotes" is a more precis title.
