editPlease carefully read all that is below, to ensure that your change does not get reverted.
Greetings, my name is !dave, and I noticed you that you added or changed information to Triborough Bridge, but you did not supply a reliable source to verify what you wrote, or you did not supply a source at all. Instead of immediately reverting your changes, I am giving you 24 hours to supply a reliable source for your change. I will revert after this point. Thank you for your understanding.

What do I mean by reliable source?
|
---|
Simply explained, a reliable source is known for good fact-checking. The source can be trusted. Reliable sources are therefore not blogs or "self-published sources" (see WP:SPS for explanation), tabloid newspapers or anything that doesn't seem too interested in providing factual information. |
How do I add a reference?

Next to what you wrote, insert The above is the basic information required in a reference. For more parameters, including the date of the work and author, see Template:Cite web. This will appear like: Arthur always likes to eat cheese, but not Andrew.[1] References
