The City Clerk's page also says "Saint Cloud" at the top.  St. is an abbreviation of Saint, yet on official city documents (city ordinances, the mayor's State of the City address, etc.) they use St.  Strange!  <B>Kedster</B> T/C 14:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: It would be useful to note how the name of this city is pronounced.  Is it some approximation to the French original [san'klu] or pronounced as though it is the English words "saint" and "cloud" [seɪnt'klaʊd]? --Macrakis 01:42, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm from the area and I've always heard it pronounced the same way as any English speaker would pronounce "saint" and "cloud".--Daveswagon 01:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  [san'klu] is occasionally used by people being obtuse. I've heard it maybe 2-3x in my life. -Ravedave 05:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

message: FYI: St. Cloud was listed as one of the absolutely worst places to live in America. Check out this reference.  (reference deleted) 05:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That is absolutely hilarious, but as the article points out, more legitimate studies actually rank the city rather high in several regards. Aside from being boring and aesthetically uninspired, there's a whole lot more that could be wrong with St. Cloud.--Daveswagon 06:45, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Don't flame me here, but I think that something about long-standing racial tension in St. Cloud--which is often addressed in the news--should be brought up in this article.Maddiej (talk) 02:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Adding information

message: Currently, the opening sentence in the "History" section says: "Minnesota was organized as a territory in 1849. The St. Cloud area had been opened to legal ownership by non-Native Americans following treaty negotiations with the Winnebago tribe in 1851 and 1852." What is the citation for that? The reason I ask is that it wasn't until the Treaty of Fond du Lac in 1847 the area just north of St. Cloud was ceded by the Ojibwe, but it was ceded to the Ho-chunks (Winnebago tribe) and not the non-Natives, and they didn't cede the area until 1865... anyway, the area is north of St. Cloud from Sartell northward and westward, to Long Prairie River. In addition, the area St. Cloud itself is in is Dakota land-cession area, ceded in 1851. CJLippert (talk) 19:32, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

message: St. Cloud has been hit by at least two major tornadoes. The first was an F4 on April 14, 1886 in Sauk Rapids and the other was an F3 on May 5, 1964 in Melrose.--Kevjgav (talk) 09:53, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :St. Cloud, Minnesota's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:19, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
