This is an established wiki that is useful for people looking for information on Populous. Now I know it's the norm to try and weed out the external links list, but now it's only an imdb link leaving people looking for more information with no help. Thoughts on leaving it in and not deleting it? Ksevio ( talk) 14:54, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
It's never explained how the shaman and her tribe move to the next world. She and her tribe simply arrive there after you have finished the goals of the previous world. And, yes some of the worlds are moons of planets, but in the article it mentions how many worlds (which includes moons) there are. I take it you haven't played the game.

After fixing the final issue about the imbeded link at the end of the gameplay section, I have passed this article for GA. Good work, and congrats.-- 十 八 23:08, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
As far as punctuation and grammar go, anyone can go ahead and just fix it themselves. It's such a minor issue that it doesn't need to be discussed here, just go ahead and add a period, closing parentheses or whatever else the article needs. The snare ( talk) 23:26, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Fog of war = unseenable place, you must unlock. Angel of Death's are very handy =D. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.85.139.21 ( talk) 19:42, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
While digging through the online print archive, I located the following preview material for this game:
One or more print reviews for this game may also be found in the archive. JimmyBlackwing ( talk) 23:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
In the penultimate sentence of the lead, the game is reported as being criticised for unclarity as to which style of game it is. Should the article, therefore, describe it uncritically as both, with no sense of compromise or discrepancy, in the first sentence? Kevin McE ( talk) 10:05, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Neat article. I get the feeling it's a little heavy on comma and semi-colon use, but I'm not quite up to sorting through each one. Perhaps something to look at after the joy of having it up on the main page fades a bit. Ocaasi c 12:36, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
This sentence confused me:
How is frustration related to technical constraints? Ocaasi c 23:32, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Description of one of the characters is a bit vague:
Could someone explain what 'ranged' means, and how Firewarriors are best characterized? Ocaasi c 23:49, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Is there a consensus about using The Beginning in the article where possible? Currently it alternates between that and Populous: The Beginning in a somewhat inconsistent way. Ocaasi c 02:36, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Monuments is a more appropriate word than artefacts. The instruction manual (I can't find it online anywhere) may describe them one way, but as the word is not used in a quote from the source, there's no downside in replacing it with a more descriptive word.

I started to think this, since in the other games you are a god and that is the goal of the shaman in this game The snare ( talk) 00:52, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
I started to think that "The Beginning" is what that's supposed to mean. The snare ( talk) 16:12, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
I added a fan site, Populous Reincarnated, to external links eventhough they are usually frowned upon, but I think it's appropriate in this case. Here are the reasons:
