The articles have shown some confusion between the city of St Albans and the wider City of St Albans district. This map should held make the distinction clearer:
It is wrong, for example, to present statistics, status details or emblems, twinning etc. of one entity as if it relates to the other. MRSC ( talk) 14:46, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
User:NebY - Per Civic Heraldry of England and Wales, where the city arms are given as azure a saltire or (in layman's terms, a golden saltire on a blue field). Zacwill16 ( talk) 14:42, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
@ NebY: and @ Zacwill16: - you are both getting into WP:EW territory. Please think carefully before reverting again. Suggest raising issue at the WP that covers heraldry/vexillology. Mjroots ( talk) 18:08, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
St Albans. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}

nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

I clicked on the hypertext link that says "Medieval Saint Albans" (Number 2 in the reference list) and got taken to information on a place in Shropshire. This hypertext link may need updating. Vorbee ( talk) 18:22, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
This article is of disproportionate length relative to those of other cities and towns. Despite this the history vis-a-vis that of the Roman settlement of Verulamium, which predated St Alban's and upon which it was founded, is indistinct. It reads like the entry of an amateur historian in a contest to determine which settlement came first. There is seemingly endless detail on the most trivial of amenities which are, rightly, absent from almost every other article about a town or city. 31.51.14.148 ( talk) 04:17, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
