Thanks for reporting the problem you found with this article. I have fixed it now as the Internet Archive had a copy of the original webpage. In general if you see a broken url in Wikipedia in a citation or in the External links section, you can warn of a dead link by doing the following.
Start the editor and then click after the broken citation or other URL and then
Insert > Template
type "deadlink" (without the quotes) into the text box and then click Add Template and then (ignoring everything else it offers you) just click Insert.
You should immediately see [dead link ] appear in the article. This warns the reader and hopefully will prompt someone who knows how to fix the problem to do so. I hope this helps you. Kerry (talk) 06:22, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
