Does anyone know why the spelling of the name is so different from the pronunciation? There is an explanation of the etymology in the article but no explanation of the unusual pronunciation. If anyone has any sources to shed light on this, I think it would be worth adding. -- Smcg8374 ( talk) 07:10, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Is the final r really pronounced? I would have expected /ɡlɒstə/. -- ABehrens ( talk) 04:04, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
The link leads to the St Paul (disambiguation) page--which does not mention St Pauls in Gloucester.
Greater explanation would be appreciated for Gloucester District as established in 1974, separating it from discussion of the pre-1974 city.

Gloucester docks now houses the Gloucester Waterways Museum and not the National Waterways Museum which 'moved' to Ellesmere Port [1] it was more of change in designation rather than an actual phyiscal movement of one to the other. I have no experience of editing a wiki so will leave that to someone else! 143.167.191.86 ( talk) 11:43, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 3 external links on
Gloucester. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}

Would you like to win up to £250 in Amazon vouchers for participating in The West Country Challenge?
The The West Country Challenge will take place from 8 to 28 August 2016. The idea is to create and improve articles about Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, like this one.
The format will be based on Wales's successful Awaken the Dragon which saw over 1000 article improvements and creations and 65 GAs/FAs. As with the Dragon contest, the focus is more on improving core articles and breathing new life into those older stale articles and stubs which might otherwise not get edited in years. All contributions, including new articles, are welcome though.
Work on any of the items at:
or other articles relating to the area.
There will be sub contests focusing on particular areas:

I have removed the cross and section to do with Quedgeley being a parish council within Gloucester's borders since being a town now as of 24 April 2017 but I am considering to change it to the only town (if it is), Within the borders of the city. I would like someones opinion on it. See here: - https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Gloucester&type=revision&diff=777310222&oldid=777308493 D Eaketts ( talk) 08:37, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
There's nothing in the article about the spelling 'Gloster'. When was it spelt this way, and why did it change? Could someone add this information? Obscurasky ( talk) 12:45, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
The Media section states "For regional television reception Gloucester is covered by BBC West and ITV West," but that's not true - Gloucester is covered by BBC West Midlands and ITV Central. 92.8.163.190 ( talk) 11:48, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
