message: The current population on the sidebar says "Unknown but vast, likely hundreds of trillions"
Does this number seem a tad bit too high for anyone else?
*Its about right for an estimate. You have to remember, the Imperium spans the whole galaxy (or most of it) and there are thousands and thousands of worlds. If a planet has a billion people (in the fiction and in the Codexes, every planet invaded seemed to be home to billions of people) than trillions or even quadrillions is correct. By accounts of Terra, it seems like the whole planet is as population dense as a busy New York City day. SanchiTachi 15:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I have:
* An overall page of general guidelines
* A list that defines different types of articles on differt subjects
:* For Armies "Army Page"
:* For Technology "Technology Page" (equivalent to "Weapons, Vehicles, Equipment Page", or, "WVE page")
:* For Notable Planets "Notable Planet Page"
:* (User:Pak21 already made guidelones for notable characters, but a link to that is included)
* A statement of purpose for my guidelines
* Left room for more guidelines to come
--Nothing offical will be done with the guidelines (moved or put to use) until several Wikipedians involved in the Warhammer 40,000 project have verified it.--

thread_title: Suggested 40k Article Guidelines

message: I was thinking of adding the Arbites to this article lately, only to find an article already existed. The existing one is quite short, however, and would apparently fit nicely into the other pieces on the Imperium's government. Just thought I'd see if everyone agrees to a merge.
In preparation for a potential merge, I'd also like to ask around about a discrepancy I'm seeing on the subject. For example, this says that "The role of everyday control and policing usually falls to local security forces, working under the orders of the Imperial Commander and his staff.", and spends much of it's time on the Arbites describing their function as safeguards against sedition, secession and unlawful overthrow of the Imperial Commander. This gives quite a different impression from this, which says that "it is the Adeptus Arbites that enact the definitive word of the law, above all others." and the excerpt displayed from (apparently) the Book of Law shows such "everyday" crimes as loitering, grafitti and blasphemy. Like the second link, the existing article also seems to place them as your ordinary, day-to-day policeman. So which function is it they have, and if they have both, which is their primary purpose?

message: There are some parallels between the Imperium of man and the Termight Empire in 2000 AD comics: repressive governments featuring inquisitors and units in stylized armor called Terminators that fight the supernatural forces of Chaos (or Khaos, in the case of the Termight empire).  That would not be enough evidence but at least two writers from 2000 AD have worked on Warhammer 40k, Games Workshop owned the rights several 2000 AD products at one time or another, and at least one RPG.net reviewer noted it. --204.118.65.208 22:27, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 2000 AD Influence?

message: It seems like the biggest connection between Starship Troopers and Space Marines is armor rather than any sort of conditioning.  Also, the Imperial troops are similar to the Sardaukar but, at least not in the original novel, Fremen.  Do the Fremen become more similar to the Imperial Cult in later books?  And I'm not sure how the Imperial Guard's use of artillery makes a good transition to the Heinlein \ Space Marine parallel. --Jordansc 19:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Imperium of Man or Mankind?
I think it is Imperium of Mankind as is Emperor of Mankind.
If it is Imperium of Man then emperor should be Emperor of Man (absurd)...
I am correcting it to Imperium of Mankind. 
If You find it wrong, don't blame me, just correct it back to what it was.
:The current rulebook refers to it several times as the "Imperium of Man" (pages 88, 92 and 109, for example).  Changing it back.  Cheers --DarthBinky 22:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title of Imperium 

message: Since the person who suggested it did not give his reasons here, I will just state mine.
I believe it should have its own article because, although not an army featured in the game, PDF's would be in the Imperium a greater force and more influential on the vast majority of worlds than the Imperial Guard or Space Marines or the rest. Because of this, I think it merits an article. 71.202.39.25 06:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: While I agree with the notability argument, the flipside is that this article is already exceedingly long. I strongly believe that things should be chopped down a little if we're going to throw even more into this one.

message: Hello!
I'm German and I have a question:
In Germany it is the Imperium
but the Translation of "Imperium" is "Empire"
Why isnt the Name of the Imperium "Empire" ???
It's a slight variation in meaning in, Imperium loosly implies domain of race/group/state law Empire in english carries colonial overtones. The differance is slight but there. If memory serves in german it would go: Imperium=Empire Empire=Reich   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.57.134 (talk) 19:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I searched for the Emperor and was redirected here. WTF? No emperor page? Why was it deleted? It's quite a notable character in the universe and there are tons of info about his biography and events, plus he is a central character in the game. By this logic, why no emperor but for example there are individual pages for minor videogame characters? Like the supporting characters in Half Life 2. I am starting to think that all this deletionist wave in WH40K articles was driven merely by bullshit and huge ego.83.44.125.188 (talk) 22:57, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

message: There is no description in the article of the aliens the Imperium is fighting against.  How many alien races are in the Galaxy?  What are the names of the planets they live on?  What do these aliens look like?  What kinds of ecosystems do the planets inhabited by the aliens have?  What kinds of weapons do they have that they use to fight against the Imperium?  What is the combined population of the aliens in comparison with the human population?  None of these topics are covered in the article and they all need to be.
