External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of theaters in Chicago. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20141011234923/http://www.illinoisherald.com/articles/2014/q3/under-gun-theater-opening-wrigleyville-oct-9/ to http://www.illinoisherald.com/articles/2014/q3/under-gun-theater-opening-wrigleyville-oct-9/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

List scope

Following the recent proposed deletion of this article as an inappropriate directory, I have culled the entries to include only the ones that either have a Wikipedia article or a citation to an independent source (not just the organization's own website). If I've accidentally removed anything that does have an article (perhaps that was not linked), please feel free to restore it. --RL0919 (talk) 15:57, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Much better. Mind you, such a list was already removed from the Theater in Chicago article previously, but as a list article this is probably a good scope. I still believe we'd be better off removing the direct external links or at the least converting them to references, as such links still fall afoul of WP:ELNO at the least. oknazevad (talk) 04:06, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
