Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 15:13, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
The problem here is that the content of the All Empires history community, its magazine and its forum, has been copied and transferred to an illegitimate site by a former administrator, who acquired ownership of one of the old domain names (allempires.com). The contributors, moderators and administrators of the original site are all responsible for the original community whisch is located now at www.allempires.net and www.allempires.net/forum, with the magazine articles at www.allempires.info.
Legal action is in hand over the situation but handicapped by the fact that the rogue administrator, who has been requested by many individuals to remove their articles from the magazine as well as some posts from the forum, refuses to do so but lives in Iran, which is not a signatory to any of the copyright conventions.
If you wish to remove references to either site in this situation then that would be understandable, but at the moment the references to allempires.com are linking to coèyright infringements, which I am sure cannot be wikipedia policy. Gcle2003 (talk) 10:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
