Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on William Ackerman. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20111005152337/http://williamackerman.com/Studios/Past-Sessions.html to http://williamackerman.com/Studios/Past-Sessions.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Y An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.
